    Rifle Scopes SB Short Dot Dual CC 1-8 red dot problem

    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...

    Rifle Scopes SB Short Dot Dual CC 1-8 red dot problem

    Thanks. I'd really like to know if this is a problem with others who have the same scope.

    Rifle Scopes SB Short Dot Dual CC 1-8 red dot problem

    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...

    Rifle Scopes S&B PMII Dual CC 1-8x24 and Vortex Razor Gen3 1-10x24

    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.

    Rifle Scopes S&B PMII Dual CC 1-8x24 and Vortex Razor Gen3 1-10x24

    Have not noticed it do that. The dot on my scope actually is brighter than shown on my video. It always stays red at the edge, even into the shadow.

    Rifle Scopes S&B PMII Dual CC 1-8x24 and Vortex Razor Gen3 1-10x24

    Seeing the same thing outside. Still can see red in the scope shadow. This is a quickly-made, rather poor video, but maybe you can see it:

    Rifle Scopes SHTF LPVO?

    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...

    Optics SOLD *** Kahles K18i 1-8x24 LPVO with 3GR reticle PLUS Aadmount Caps

    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:

    Rifle Scopes S&B PMII Dual CC 1-8x24 and Vortex Razor Gen3 1-10x24

    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...

    Best 9mm pistol caliber carbine?

    Thanks for all the input and photos. Hard choice. I ended up going with the JP Rifles GMR-15 9mm pistol with a 10-inch barrel. Love it.

    Rifle Scopes Variable for an AR

    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.
