The No-Nonsense Holosun HS403B (My Review)


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 really long battery life, you will have to eventually change it out...

...the thing is, some sights, even from Holosun, are a pain in the neck in that regard. 

Here's the thing, the Holosun HS403b is actually and improvement over the HS403a...

You see, the problem with the 403a is that the battery can only be accessed if the sight is removed from it's mount. 

That means you're going to have to take the sight off of your gun to replace the battery, and it's a problem because you're going to lose zero when doing that. 

The great thing about the 403b is that Holosun changed the access point to the battery by putting a simple tray that you remove on the side of the sight. 

It means you can change out the battery when that time comes without the hassle of having to dismount the entire sight and go out to rezero it afterwards!

The HS403b Is Strong And Reliable...

I also like the 403b is waterproof...

It can handle being put underwater for 30 minutes at 1 meter...

...which is all I really want as a civilian gun owner...

I don't need to be able to SCUBA dive with my sight...

...but I do want it to handle things like rain or falling in a creek or puddle...

And the Holosun HS403b can do that without any issues. 

This Sight Also Comes With 2 Mounts...

Another great feature about this red dot sight and pretty much all Holosuns is that you get two mounts included.

When you get your HS403b it will come attached to a lower one third cowitness mount which makes it a great companion to an AR 15...

But, if you want to put it on something like a CZ Scorpion, a shotgun, an AK, or another platform in the box you'll find a low mount as well. 

It really is sometimes a pain to go out and find an mount that will fit your sight, and then pay extra money for it.

But that's not an issue with the 403b!

In Conclusion...

I think the Holosun HS403b is a fantastic red dot sight because you get 50,000 hours of battery life, a durable sight, and easy battery change, and you get 2 mounts included.

So I highly recommend it as one of the best red dot sights under 200 dollars out there today!

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

Image
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 Legendary Aimpoint Micro T2 (My Review)

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
