Yes, something tall enough to be usable on an AR, preferably lower 1/3 CW. |

The ARMS #17DR has worked very well for folks for co-wits with irons. |

Greetings. Anyone want to share their experiences on mounting a RDP-II on a .22; specifically a Buck Mark or Ruger MK III, or 22/45 MK III?

A SAR3 along with an RDP going out to a mil customer in IRAQ. His qoute to me, "Now I have what I think gives me the best edge if I am down to my M16 that will will mean that I am in trouble in my line of work as a gunner in a black Hawk."
Thank you Serge, be safe out there and let's hope you never have to use that M16! Vic |
|
Thanks again Serge and for your pic! |
|
|
Tracking numbers in-hand for the next batch of RDP's due in early next week!
|
|
Arriving tomorrow gents!! |
|
|
Received my units today; they cowitness perfectly with the ghost ring sights on my FN-SLP shotgun when I put the RPD behind the rear sight.
|
|
PICS PLEASE!! |
|
|
I've since switched the rear sight and put it behind the red dot; it works a lot better that way.

No picky still! |

Thought I'd show a pic and price comparisons of 3 mini red dots atop the SARS including of course the RDP....I forgot about the J-Point I had laying around as well.
Form left to right, AP Micro T-1, Mil- Spec Doctor Optic and the RDP II. Price left to right, (approx.) $584.00, $815.00 and $139.00 (). (J-Point at $250.00) The RDP's have been a big hit, but not a big hit on ones wallet. Thanks to all who have ordered. Another large batch due in less than two weeks. |

Another batch of RDP's sold out....Another BIGGER batch in two weeks!!!
|
|
Inbound! |

How solid are these? could they survive a 2..3 or 8 foot drop And does any body have a pic of one mounted directly on top of an A3 upper? Thanks.
|
|
Yes, they are metal to say the least. |

I just received an RDP-II today and have it mounted. I am using a JP 1" scope tube base with an adapter shim which adapts JP to Doctor, mfg. by Arredondo. The RDP-II fits it perfectly. I have secured the cover with a short lanyard to the scope base. I ordered a JP Guard which mounts between the base and the adapter. When get it zeroed in I will come back with a review. Looks good at this point.

Not unusual at all. Please tell me a quick blurb on your weapon? Thanks for the GREAT pics and your order of course! Vic |

Victor,
My review after installing and zeroing in the RDP-II: 1. I zeroed in the RDP-II in South East Arizona in the full sun and had no problem seeing the dot against any background, from very dark mesquite to bleached out desert sand. 2. The scope was very bright, and sharp. Compared to my JPoint which is an 8 MOA, and installed on a Beretta Xtrema 2, I think the RDP-II is just as bright and has less flare around the Dot. They adjust in the same manner, but I like the locking feature of the RDP-II. I actually like looking through the JPoint better as there is no magnification and the lense is clearer with no tint. The big plus is that the RDP-II will do anything the JPoint does at about one half the cost. 3. Compared to my AimPoint Comp C3 4MOA that is on a quick R&R base, I think is comparing Apples and oranges and I wont try, but again the DRP will do almost anything the Aimpoint will do at one third the cost. Glad I bought it and would recommend it to anybody who wants a comparable Red Dot at a fair price. Thanks for your good service. and here is a photo of the completed installation with the JPoint Guard installed. Cover fits snug, but thats good. Jerry |

Awesome shots, I'll add the pics to the SAR thread! Thanks! |

My manufactuer has shipped these housings world wide. The LED on ours is specifically unique to my specifications along with the mount and screws for the doctor bases. I went through dozens of LED prototypes with the units until I got the brightness and sharpness to were it needed to be. Hope this helps. Thanks

i saw it on this Chinese defense contractor as well as a Pakistani one. But only as products they make for LE and Military and i didnt actually see them for sale. I was wondering because i was curious when i saw these. These companies even sell Eotech and aimpoints under their own names that are probably very similar if not identical in quality. I'm assuming these guys are a real armament company and not an airsoft suppliers hehe. Like I said, when I saw these while doing a search I just had to ask. |
|
|
No problem, don't know what armament company they are. We've sold a great many RDP's thus far with with oustanding results especially in the LED brightness and sharpness category. Just last week, I had one company actually use my pictures here depicting the red dot. I politey asked him to remove them, which he did. Funny he did not show his own pics of the LED. Now, I have watermarked all my pics. Guess I should have done that from the very beginning. Thanks

Hi Victor
I have just a few questions. will the red dot still stay on in near complete darkness. Some with auto adjust go off in dark areas outside completely. Also will this site work with a larue tactical low profile base , the base fits a pride fowler red dot. I appreciate any info you can give, and do you have units in stock and can I call to order etc... I need these to be really LOW on a FN PS90 top rail etc... Thanks copk9 |
|
The unit in complete darkness does not shut off, but will be at it's dimmest setting. The RDP will fit any base that utlilizes a Doctor Optics base. There are two additional screws included for this reason. The units are in stock and you can call in an order as well. Hope this helps. Vic |
|
|
Should be here next week! |
|
|
Next week from my supplier! |
|
|
Do you know if the RDP fits the same bases for the Trijicon Red-dot sight? That's all that seems easily available for quick purchase.
~Augee |
|
The RDP's will fit any base made for the Doctor Optics only. Include an extra set of screws for this purpose. Hope this helps. Vic |
|
|
what offset mount are you using for the RDP sir? |
|
|
If I may answer for MRAGU....He is using a Yankee Hill Off Set mount with the RDP. Hope this helps. Vic |

|
Thanks expect an order soon. By the way anyone knows where I can get protective wings for these? |

|
Tijicon makes one for their line of ACOGS for the Doctor Optics which of course will fit the RDP.

I was looking at your pictures and there seems to be something wrong with the way the turrets on your scope are configured. The windage knob and the elevation knob are reversed. You have the elevation knob where the windage is supposed to be and vice versa. The elevation turret is the knob with the hash marks to determine every complete revolution. |
|
If I mount one of these directly on my A3 rail, will I be able to use the sight or will my front FSB be in the way? How high of a riser do I need to get over the front sight? Thanks.
