Has anyone had any experience with a "Panoramic" sight that is made by a company in Japan. I looked at one at the funshow today and was impressed.  I am not sure of the name or the manufacturer, but came in a green box, had a lifetime warranty, and the repair center was in Florida.  Cost was $199. It is a red dot reflex sight. I have been looking for an optical sight for my A3, but due to a visual problem, the Eotech, Aimpoint and others look blurry to me. This one gave me a perfect view. Any opinions on the quality of this sight?  Also, my A3 has the full front sight, could I mount it directly on the rail, or do I need to get a riser to put it on.

This is the first sight I have found that I can see clearly with.  However I don't want to waste money if it is not worth it.  Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

That would be the Hakko BED-24 if it has a round lens, or BED-35 if it has a square lens.

I had the BED-24 and really liked it; with the "dot-within-circled-crosshair" reticle, it was easy to get a precise aiming point. For speed, just switch to the regular dot.

You won't need a riser to mount it onto your A3.

Thanks for the information. With the name of the sight, I was able to find it at Riflescopes.com for about $40 less than the show. Did you have any problems with loss of zero with the sight?

The sight you asked about is a HAKKO, i have 3 i use on my ar's.  if you check the SPORTSMAN GUIDE web site, the just got them on sales for $116.00/ea, when i first got mine they were about $200. As i said they are clear, light and a great red dot. (look on the hakko site)   JIMBO
