Pinty Red/Green Tactical Rifle Scope with 4 Reticle Options for Enhanced Accuracy

Cutter: Pinty produces excellent products and their customer service superb. I ordered their reflex sight because of its low cost, and because I like Pinty products. A friend was having difficulty focusing on the iron sights on his AR-15( removable A2 front sight and carry handle combination), so I decided to see if it would potentially help him.

I was initially NOT impressed, since it seemed that the holographic sight DID NOT remain in the same position relative to the target when you moved your eye. Although the Pinty sight attaches nicely in front of the carry handle and does seem to lend itself to the "co witness" use that is all the rage these days, whenever I peered downrange and moved my head around the holograph just seemed to wander all over the place, relative to the fixed sights.

Through experimentation I discovered the "secret": the carry handle rear sight has two apperatures; a larger one for closer distances, and a smaller one for longer range shots (beyond 300 yards). The reason for the smaller apperature - besides that it is higher than the larger one, to compensate for bullet drop over longer ranges, is to better constrain your line of sight.

Navy Veteran: I kept my expectations low when I bought this. I just recently bought a Diamondback 5.56 NATO DB15MZB that does not have iron sights, which was fine with me. I bought this sight because I needed something to target with and I have difficulty with using iron sights because of my vision. This holographic sight is just what the doctor ordered.

I put over 500 .223 rounds out at the range and this sight kept me on target. I had to adjust the elevation on the first couple of shots before I could adjust the windage and it held true each time. My brother also has M&P 5.56 with a red dot and he tried out my rifle with the holographic sight, he liked this sight a lot. The target I shot had zones (head, center mass, pelvis) and I kept 98% of my shots in those zones (a few "errant" shots wound up near the center of the forehead just above the eyes, a center mass shot just below the solar plexus through the spine, and a lower gut shot just above the pelvic region) at 20 - 25 yards (indoor range).

Installation was fairly easy but the instructions are printed so small that I needed a magnifying glass to blow it up to where I could read them. Fortunately the installation is...
