The No-Nonsense Holosun HS403B (My Review)

Image
Hello! Today I'm going to review the Holosun HS403b... This is another winner from Holosun who are becoming famous... ...for making top teir optics that are still affordable in price. And because of it's features, the 403b has to be one of the best red dot sights under 200 dollars. And here's why: Long Lasting Battery Life... Here's the deal with the Holosun HS403b you get an amazing 50,000 hours of battery life.  That equates to about 5 years... ...and it means that you can leave this sight turned on for that whole time, and the battery will just keep on trucking.  I don't really understand why anyone would consider a red dot that cost about the same price as the 403b or more but only has a few hundred hours of battery life.  For me, this is a required feature because I like to have my red dot sights ready at all times, and the guys over at reddotshooters.com agree.  Battery Changes Are EASY... Now even though this sight has rea

The Electrifying Eotech XPS2-0 (My Review)

Image
Today, I’m going to review for you the Eotech XPS2-0 holographic sight. Now holographic sights are a form of reflex sight that use different technology to produce the image of the reticle. There are many who say the Eotech is the best holographic sight you can find on the market. Stay with me for my thoughts on that in the conclusion of this article. Let’s dive into the review! The Eotech’s Housing and Mount… The Eotech XPS2-0 has a tough protective hood and an integrated base mount. The protective hood protects the housing of the sight and makes this red dot extremely durable. In fact, this eotech was able to pass military specification drop tests as well as being waterproof and shockproof. And on top of that, this optic is submersible up to 10 feet under water. So you shouldn’t have to worry about it ever getting wet. Additionally, because the sight comes with an integrated base mount, you don’t need to worry about buying or finding a separa

The Legendary Aimpoint Micro T2 (My Review)

Image
Today, I’m going to review for you the Aimpoint Micro T2, which many call the best red dot sight. Aimpoint is a company with a rock solid reputation for making premium red dots. And the Aimpoint Micro T2 is probably their flagship model. So let’s get into the review. The Aimpoint’s Dot Size and Reticle… The Aimpoint Micro T2 comes with a 2 MOA dot reticle. This is no different from many other red dot sights on the market. However, that doesn’t mean there is a problem because the simple 2 MOA dot style reticle is a fantastic reticle for a red dot sight. Now I do prefer a variation of a circle dot reticle, but I don’t mind a 2 MOA dot reticle… And like I’ve said before, 2 MOA is just the right size for this type of sight picture in my humble opinion. The Aimpoint’s Ruggedness And Reliability… The whole Aimpoint brand if famous for their sights ruggedness and the reliability you get from their tough construction. The Aimpoint Micro T-2 is

The Affordable Truglo Tru-Tec Red Dot Sight (My Review)

Today, I’m going to be reviewing the Truglo Tru Tec 20mm Red Dot Sight. This is an affordable micro red dot sight that comes from the trusted sight brand Truglo. Even though it is affordable, this sight does includes some really neat features that make it stand out as a budget red dot option. The Tru-Tec’s Battery Life… The Truglo Tru-Tec has outstanding battery life. Truglo advertises it as ultra long. So it is really unclear just how many hours of battery life you can expect. But it does use one CR2032 battery life, and you can be sure that it is going to last for thousands of hours. There are several brands of red dots that cost slightly less or slightly more than the Tru Tec, that have battery life that is inferior to this little optic. The Tru-Tec’s Lens Clarity… The Truglo Tru Tec has outstanding lens clarity. When I look through the sight it appears to be very clear, and I don’t notice any blue or green tint the way I do with several o

The Amazing Holosun HS503C (My Review)

Image
Hello! Today I’m going to review the holosun hs503c. Holosun is a newer brand of optics that has quickly been gaining a reputation as a place to go for solid optics at reasonable prices. The Holosun HS503c stands out from their other offerings because of some of the upgraded features that are included with the sight. Today we’re going to be looking at several features of the holosun and make conclusions about whether or not it is a worthwhile sight to buy for your AR-15. The Holosun’s Battery Life The holosun hs503c has outstanding battery life! First of all, it uses 1 cr2032 battery, but from that one battery you can actually leave the battery on for 2 years and before it runs out of juice. And in addition to that, one of the most unique features of the is HS503c is that it is Holosun’s Solar red dot. On the top of the sight, there is a solar panel, which can actually power the sight even when there is no battery in the optic. And having that
