Quoted:
I just got mine. Nice sight but geeze they made the reticle so small. Everybody says there Gen 2 prism reticles are small but I find them to be great. I thought this would be the same. Nope it really is tiny. The small chevron honestly is fine but the horse shoe is simply to small to be useful. It obscures whatever I might be trying to aim at. It would be much better IMHO with a larger horse shoe. I would prefer a dot to the chevron but that doesn't matter as much. If you want a larger reticle check out the new one Swampfox Optics is coming out with. They have a multi page thread in this section and Mike (formerly of PA) just posted some pics of the reticle. It is much larger, but also made specifically for close distances. It has a 5 and 7 yard hold. I like what the company is doing and will be checking it out |

I wish I could look through a Cyclops. My projected ACSS Holosun is totally usable at 1x (*really* shines with a magnifier). I have about 12" across the widest part of the Horseshoe at 50 feet. Chevron and bottom dot are totally fine, 1st and second dot less so, knocking the brightness down, helps. I wear reading glasses, have a slight astigmatism (which my RMR kind of shows, but not the Holosun), but far vision is fine. I thought all ACSS at 1x would look the same?

I'll be the weird one here and say that i love the Cyclops,bought a 2nd one after trying out the first one.
Could it be better? Sure but i really doubt i will replace them |

I shot it today. It is fast on steel. The wire that is attached to the caps instantly broke the first time I started to u screw the top where it is attached to the cap. Other than that it seems solid. It will stay for now.

So, cheap wire broke and reticle sucks - chevron's too small and horseshoe is visually obstructive. Is that what you meant your review to convey?

I didn't like mine and sent it back for a refund.
My Trijicon 1-8x and Vortex PST 1-6x had a better and much less distorted view at 1x. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Those are to heavy for my intended role. Honestly the cyclops could be perfect with a different reticle. Maybe they will offer something different eventually. |

I understand, I was just comparing. For me it wasn't the reticle but it's 1x distortion. Diopter was adjusted correctly and I still had too much distortion to the point it bugged my eyes out. Took it out again this week and had a different reaction. Tried it with the diopter adjusted both for the best retcle focus and target focus, and both seemed to work well. Didn't see any significnt distortion. Still don't like the reticle, though. The lines are too fine to be useful to me. I do well with an LPVO set to 1x and the red dot in the reticle turned up, but I just can't adapt to the reticle. If they came out with a typical 2 MOA dot with reasonable holdover lines I'd be thrilled. |
