Optics: You get what you Pay for

[fighter4cage]

I know better .... But during a recent stop at Walmart I purchased a cheap little optic to put on one of my Beater guns....
First time out the door to sight it in, I dropped it from about 2 feet. It was still in its protective rubber cover. Did not make any difference....

Yep, You get what you pay for....

How much did you pay? My first RDS, I got this thing. It's cheap and haven't dropped it, but it sits on a 22LR rifle. I don't think I've tried it on anything else. Now you got me worried.


I have something like you have, but it's a TruGlo. I think it's on a 223.

FWIW, that can happen with even higher end optics if they land right on the edge of a lense. That's when the better warranty that typically comes with higher priced optics is a nice thing to have.

OP, does the dot still work even with the broken lens?

[RogueSniper]

I'm guessing the dot may be distorted on a wonky bit of glass. If it's not all blurry and you have enough adjustment, it could still work. i guess now is the perfect the time to use those BUIS.

Skip to 4:00 minute mark and watch the vortex razor red dot drop test..... Highly impressive.

Lets see a pa do that.

They do all types of torture testing.

But, then again, I cannot fathom reaching for the knob on one of my optics and having it break off.

I think I later saw that "Vortex Optic" in the market place listed as "WTS, Like New"
LOL

Just buy another cheap 5 moa dot BSA reflex from Natchez for $29. I have a couple, they work great if you don't need to see the target behind that fat dot. They are very light and my wife likes hers. Me, I like my Aimpoint C3.
