This looks to be the same as the fyland/feyachi one (I have 2 of those) which have worked fine for me on range plinkers (9mm, 556, 22). I can't guarantee it's the same one but it looks identical, other than the name fwiw. Also controls, mount, reticle etc all are the same.

Here is a video of the Feyachi/fyland one fwiw:

Chinese GARBAGE regardless of the price IMO!

Disagree. Neither of my feyachi (edit: Fyland) ones have lost zero in 2 years of use.

Not saying the Feyachi are garbage. These are not Feyachi.

Pinty Red Green Reflex Rifle Scope Dot Sight 4 Different Reticles

Feyachi/Fyland ones were $26 on Amazon (Pinty full price is $25) and look identical in every way, including colors and 4 different reticles and controls. My guess is they are the same optic made in the same factory and sold under many names. I have never held nor used the pinty ones though (yet). Here is the old Amazon link for the feyachi/Feyland ones:

What's the battery life you're getting?

Thanks for the heads-up @ilikegunspdx. I just picked one up (thanks to you) for my Ruger 10/22.

They maybe cheap, but cheap red dots are a blast at the range. Wouldn't use for an EDC or defensive weapon configuration, but on my target 22LR's cheap red dots are a kick in the pants. And I don't worry about accidentally banging them around in my range bag or on the bench.

I WOULD LIKE TO USE CAPITAL LETTERS!! AND EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!! TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW I'M MAKING LOUD MOUTH SOUNDS!!!!!!! I'M RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$12 is worth a small gamble for a range toy. Thanks for the link.

My thoughts exactly. They r a great inexpensive upgrade over iron sights on plinkers. Not a go to war optic obviously but most of us have more fun guns than go to war guns.

Haha! I like to listen to poeple that have actually used whatever the product being discussed is (but everyone is entitled to their opinions so it's all good). The Amazon reviews look good fwiw, about the same as the fyland ones if I recall (4.5 stars or so). So there are around 5000 people that say they like it or whatever, most of which have probably used it (but maybe a lot of those r airsoft users I dunno). Again I've never used it, just saying it appears to be the same as the other ones that I have used.

Well I've never measured it (or paid that much attention actually cuz we have a lot of those 2032 batteries lying around for kiddo's electronic projects). But I can say at least one time I left it on for over a week cuz I forgot to turn it off and battery seemed to last quite a while after that. So I can't say they r "great" cuz I've never really payed that much attention but I can say they are definitely not "battery drainers" because I do notice things that suck batteries fast (annoying).

Im grabbing one. Lets see if it will hold up on my Lynx AK shotgun.

Changed my mind, even for 11.90 cost it says in my cart. There are simply TONS and TONS of bad reviews on that sight. So gonna pass.

Thanks for the "heads-up"... That is a cheap way to see to start investigating if I like a dot on my pistol before spending hundreds on a top-end product.

Perfect for that imo. FYI Note that the overall size and weight is going to be much bigger than any of the micro red dots, also the larger reticles are fairly big compared to a 3 moa size dot (I'm guessing the "dot" is probably 6 MOA size on this one). 3 moa is better for precision but 6 moa size is great for target acquisition. Fwiw i like the crosshair reticle best and lower the brightness so it doesn't overwhelm the target.

Fwiw the ade branded micro red dot below again appears to be the same optic as others with numerous brand names. I can't recall now but I think sig has the same micro red dot as this one below:

I have had good luck with this ade micro green dot fwiw so far but hasn't seen that much range time so who knows long term. Very small green dot. Very tiny micro size.

A few size comparisons fwiw:

Brn 180 10.5" 556 with micro red dot dot (including rail attachment plate underneath)


Full size pistol with micro red dot

That's a pass for me. I learned long ago to not spend money on cheap optics. Under $12 I just can't see how there'd be a good outcome.

 

[ma96782]

I just ordered one. Because.....why not, it's cheap.

I bought a Firefield red-dot for like $45 from Sportsman's Warehouse awhile back and the power knob stopped working within three months. Last time I'll waste money on a cheapie red-dot EXCEPT maybe on a cheap rimfire. I guess for $12...
