It's a tad expensive IMO. I like my 503c with similar reticle and I'm just a couch commando so I don't need go to extended war durability. From what I've seen my 503 is pretty tough actually. If these were $350 I'd pick one up. Maybe used off of EE.
Not bashing at all. Like I said for the right price I'll probably pick one up used to play with. Although the new reticle in the 503(the horseshoe) is tempting too. I'm just glad people are coming out with these style reticle besides eojunk. I don't know what took so long. |

Don't think this has been asked, yet...
I know dot distortion (rays shooting out of it; looking like a star, more than a dot; being elongated, etc.) can be due to astigmatism. I had that to some degree with my EOTech 512.A65 the last year or so. (I'm not certain that, in may case, it's astigmatism [long story].) When I first got the optic, a couple years ago, I didn't have that problem. What I did experience was the 65 MOA circle always looking like ragged, uneven circle of individual dots, rather than a nice, clean, smooth circle. Everybody told me "Oh, that's normal." And, in fact, one of my best friend's 512.A65 looks the same way. (To his eyes, too.) So here's the question: What's the circle look like on the UH-1? It's got a lot more "feature" than the EOTech circles. I can't see how that would work worth a darn if the circle was all "dotty." |

Have others look through your scope and tell you or draw for you what the reticle looks like to them
Take a picture of the reticle and compare that to what you see through your eyes vs the pic. Go to a good eye doctor and take your optic with you have him look through it. I took an Aimpoint micro to mine and had him look through it and we compared drawings of what the dot looked like to each of us He also had an astigmatism He tested me and made some corrections to my script...not perfect but infinitely better. |

It's got a lot more "feature" than the EOTech circles. I can't see how that would work worth a darn if the circle was all "dotty." EOTech's reticle looks like that because it's a laser and thus subject to diffraction and speckle, and because the pattern IS pixelated (if you use it with a magnifier and have good eyes, you can clearly make out the pixels). I believe the pixels are intentional so the reticle doesn't completely obscure what's directly behind it. I've got 20/10 eyes that have decayed to 20/15 over the years (like books too much I guess) and it looks like that to me too. It only becomes super-sharp and clear when magnified. I have a very slight astigmatism in my left eye, right eye is perfect. Looks the same from both eyes. I don't see any rays (that's probably your eyes), but neither is it perfectly sharp and non-pixelated. It's pixelated and I can clearly see laser speckle. Which is expected because it IS a laser. It's also possible you're focusing on the reticle and not the target beyond. You're supposed to be looking at the target. If I focus my eye on the reticle it dissolves into an unfocused mess of rays. Hold it over something and look at the target, it sharpens back up. Other sights look clearer because they're just shining a colored light through an LED mask onto a mirror, not using a laser hologram. Unless there's a product out there I missed, UH-1 will be the first competing holographic sight. |

But, that doesn't mean you will necessarily see the individual pixels. I don't see them on the screen I'm looking at right now. Nor on the wide screen TV my wife and I watched last evening. I used to be able to clearly see them on older, low-resolution B&W, green-screen, what-have-you monochrome "glass TTY" terminals. That's because current-technology displays have much higher resolution than did those of those old terminals. I don't know anything about the holographic technologies used by either EOTech or Vortex. Obviously, whatever EOTech did resulted in a holographic image of such low resolution that most people could easily discern individual pixels. (I would also re-note, btw, that, not only was the resolution poor, but, the rendering of the image uneven.) Vortex is using somewhat different technology. So perhaps their rendering of that graphic (for that's really what it is) is better? ISTM it would have to be. EOTech's was a simple 65 moa circle, so it being raggedy was more a cosmetic issue than anything else. But, Vortex' is a circular image with features. If the UH-1's rendering is as poor as was EOTech's, those visual features would largely be lost in "noise," I would think, rendering their utility questionable? Thus my question. |

Could just be an eye thing. It's pixelated, but the hashmarks on the 65 MOA circle are relatively clear to me. Again, though, my vision is not representative of the bulk of the market. And yes, increasing PPI can result in not seeing pixels anymore, as you note with monitors. Stand close to any decently-sized 1080p HDTV and you can make out the pixels clearly. Look at a 4K computer monitor on the other hand and picking out individual pixels is nearly impossible without sticking your face in the screen or having intentionally stark contrast on a lone pixel. As far as speckle, I meant the general "boiling" effect you see on the red sections themselves, similar to what you see when you shine a laser on something. Laser speckle is just a side effect of lasers themselves. Unless someone has come up with some fancy new focusing technology, I don't know of a way that exists to remove speckle from lasers, only ways to reduce it to one degree or another. Quoted:
