Thanks for helping a neat little subreddit!

160 Upvotes

I thank you for stopping by to view our little subreddit.

While /r/aimdownsights is a bit of niche market and will likely stay very small, I think it's important to keep this archive of sight pictures and reticles alive. When you subscribe, post, comment, or just upvote something cool, you're helping to keep us active and useful.

I would like to see /r/aimdownsights become a tool that the other gun related subreddits link to and reference when someone wants to know a little more about a future purchase, compare BUIS, or learn about different reticles.

As such, I have a couple of requests:

  • We're fine with pictures that you found, links to websites that have comparisons, or forum mega threads, but I ask that you leave a description in title or comments to help with searching.

  • For content that is yours (e.g. pictures of your sights, diagrams you've made) please mark with a [OC] tag in the title so we know it's original content.

  • I would like to add simple flair to submitters to indicate they've posted original content. So if you've submitted OC, shoot me a PM with the /r/aimdownsights link (that's all I need); otherwise I'm going to poke through our posts over the next week and just guess. PM me if you don't want flair.

  • Crosspost your albums! This is one of the easiest ways for you to help us archive sight pictures.

Everything has been great so far; thank you again.

Romeo 5 Gen 1 (2 MOA) with and without Holosun HM3XT Magnifier

Nothing special, I think everyone has seen a 2 MOA red dot before. Not really an appropriate distance to use a magnifier, but I already had the shots from testing out my weird target project and figured I'd share.

Also, wanted to use the opportunity to illustrate a point: a lot of people say you need your magnifier as close as possible to the red dot in order to get a clear sight picture without seeing the edges of your optic, but I honestly have not found this to be the case. Centering the dot with adjustments and having a consistent position for eye relief have been the more important factors in my experience.

At least I didn’t crack this one.

I’ve run this sight for drills and competition indoors and outdoors with cloud and/or tree cover. Finally had a match outdoors with some serious sun; SUPER hard to pick up on but usable.

In my experimentation over the past year, I’ve learned what I need to now about using slide-mounted RDS. Even before this event, I’d decided that I would step beyond the budget options.

Moa vs mrad

Is there advantage of getting 1/2 moa vs .2mrad lpvo? What is better or more precise? Looking at vortex viper pst gen 2 1-6 and wondering what is better?

Holosun 503 on a unity fast micro mount centerline ?

3 Upvotes

According to unity website fast micro mount is compatible with 503 but i am a bit sceptical. Anyone in here with this combo willing to measure if the centerline is indeed 2.26 ? Would greatly appreciate it.

Got around to zeroing in the scope and it looks fantastic. BDC lines up with m193 out of my 16 inch rifle just fine out to 500 meters.

Holosun 510C & Holosun HM3X 3x magnifier alterative combos 🇬🇧

6 Upvotes

Tried a cheap amazon freyai combo but couldn't get on with it.

Been looking at a few other options including the holosun.

Are there any other combo pairs with a reflex sight like the holosun?

Can't quite work out if any or the sig romeos would work with a juilet?

Eotech ROUGH zero

Post image
71 Upvotes

I’ve read plenty about how to do a rough zero so I can at least be on paper when I zero at the range. I’m wondering if the iron sights are about correct for the lower 1/3 co witness…the picture I posted shows the donut centered “on target”. Also a question I haven’t quite found a definitive answer on is when I actually look down my irons should the center dot be lined exactly with my elevation iron or sitting 2/3 above it?

Holosun ARO Gold Dot

2 Upvotes

After reading through some posts about this dot, I didn’t really get a clear answer on HOW good this dot truly is in bright conditions. I live out in the desert, Mojave to be relative. Anybody got any pictures or personal experiences they’d be willing to share? I have astigmatism and it’s either this or revert back to red, which is hit or miss for me.
