I'm looking for another red dot for one of my ARs. I already have the AA dot and I love it, but I am wondering for my second AR, can I get better sharpness in the dot with another of your RDS options, specifically the micros? Their both 3MOA so I am not sure.

All the red dots I've tried from PA have been very crisp.

Look through a rear sight at the dot and see if it's any better. I get the feeling you have an astigmatism which causes it to look somewhat blurry

They are all pretty similar. I have a slight astigmatism and no brand looks perfect to me either. In use after a few minutes I just see a dot on the target because I am focusing on the target not the dot.

We have a new full size one coming out next year that uses a low power laser to produce the dot. Totally new technology and a higher price point. I do notice it looks sharper.

Thanks, that makes sense. I think for my second optic I am going to go with your 1-4 or maybe the 2.5x.

The 2.5X really filled the bill where you might use a red dot and magnifier.

I am really intrigued by this as I have keratoconus which causes me to have fairly significant astigmatism in my right eye especially. I may have to give the laser one a try.

If ya ever want someone with eye issues to take one for a spin, let me know!
