New Contest Starting Now! This Target Haunts Me
Tell us about the one that got away, the flier that ruined your group, the zero that drifted, the shot you still see when you close your eyes. Winner will receive a free scope!
You and I discussed this on the previous thread and I posted a video showing that the red dot dimmed considerably but did not disappear completely in the scope shadow.
I disagree with S&B that this simply is a problem of an incorrect hold or field of view. The dimming occurs with the slightest...
I have a SB Short Dot Dual CC 1-8 LPVO. The red dot is daylight/Aimpoint bright when my eye is directly behind the dot, but the brightness falls off considerably with very slight eye movement to the right or left.
It's not so bad when simply moving the gun back and forth at 1x with a proper...
Yes, it's certainly different from the Vortex 1-10 on this point, as Ilya has emphasized. Perhaps one reason is that S&B wanted the Short Dot Dual CC at 1x to look like a RDS. Aimpoints and other RDSs likewise are dependent on electronics.
The excellent reviews by Ilya and kurpak are pretty much spot on with my own experience. I've had the K16i and now have the K18i and S&B Dual CC.
The FOV on both the K16 and K18 are a wonder to behold—like kurpak said, the tube disappears and there's a giant circle of reality with great...
The only trade I'm interested in would be for the new March 4.5-28x52 High Master scope with the wide-angle eyepiece. Unfortunately, they're not out yet. :sneaky:
On your video, it looks like the red dot completely disappears when you go sideways off centerline. There's no red, but just a clear space. Am I seeing this right?
On mine, the red dot is visible at 4-6 on the dial. When I go sideways, the brightness diminishes somewhat, but the red never...
Consider the Kahles 1-8. It's SFP, but the glass is fantastic, the FOV is unmatched, especially at 1X, and the 3GR reticle is designed for competition. Shameless plug: I have one for sale at the PX right now.
