Red Dot reflection

[Katsoup]

sh…t! I’ve seen the last three in my RDot. The attached pic was taken with my phone, almost a perfect dot. Time to schedule a visit to the optometrist.

Woohoo. I may be right on this one

FYI, the way to take a picture of the dot is to lock focus on a distant object and then put the red dot in front of your camera. These two pictures show the difference in dot appearance between a red 407c and green 407k when focused on the body of the optic vs the background.

And here's that 407k(6moa green dot) as it would appear to me.

Same picture, but with a holosun 503cu w/ the circle-dot turned on(bc at this distance, the bottom of the circle takes care of height over bore for you)

It is possible for cheaper red dots to project an image of the electronics around the led on to the lens at higher brightness settings. These additional projected images may diminish if you turn down your brightness a bit.

I've been struggling with vision issues as well. Red dots, halographic sights, and mainly iron sights.
