| I'm considering a BSA Red Dot scope to go on my A2 upper. Anyone have any thoughts on this setup? Thanks |
So did I then. I even put one on my 3 1/2 magnum 12 ga turkey gun. Year after year it gets 20 or so rounds on the range and at least one shot at a turkey sometimes more. And it will kick the shit out of you. I did have one go bad on a cross bow, but I might have dropped it out of a tree stand.

| MJohn3006 said it right: I've had mine for three yrs, never lost zero, and it's taken quite a beating. I bought a 1/2 inch riser mount from Yankee Hill Machine (I don't like Yankees, either) and placed my red dot on top of it, and placed it at 12oclock, so that I can co-witness rear-reddot-front sights...works fine. |

I bought one just to see if it could do the job at such a low price.... Never mounted it on my rifle because I noticed that the red dot would wash out really bad in normal daylight conditions (even on brightest setting).....Maybe that was just the one I picked up, but it bugged me enough to keep me from mounting it. |

I am going to get one of these and one of those cheap carry handle mounts from tapco to mount on my Dad's AR. He likes shooting but can't see anymore. I figure A red dot for plinking away at 25 yards + the fact that he will be able to hit stuff again =We will start having fun again. (instead of listening to him cuss up A storm and hand me his rifle every couple min to "check zero" for him.

Had it on my AR first now on my SKS. Has thousands of rounds under it and still on same batteries. So far lighting conditions has not washed out sights. It is my primary sight, if it fails I will use the standard sights. Dot is not round but you don't notice it when you are blasting away. Best thing since bubble up for aging eyes, very quick for target acquisition. Friend was totally against anything electronic on guns. I bought him one and he mounted it on a Browning buckmark. He shot the smallest group ever with it. He is on a buying spree now. Dan |
Same here. Mine would not get bright enough to see the dot in daylight. I took a hammer and busted the glass and threw the POS in the trash. Never did get to actually use it because I couldn't see the dot. The built in mount sucks ass too. Good luck. |
