ShortBus Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Like the title says. Not buying a slide ride, need something bright in the sun, this vortex disappears on sunny days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHLChris Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Pistol? Rifle? The Aimpoint T1/H1 is great for bright sun, but that is on a rifle. I really like the Leupold DeltaPoint, original and Pro. I've never had a problem in the bright sun. Which Vortex are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortBus Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Open gun. My bad.. just ordered a deltapoint pro 2.5 so hope that one was a good choice lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHLChris Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I chose the DP Pro 7.5 delta for my open pistol, but that's also because I have 3 other DP's, all with the delta. I really like that reticle because it isn't just a huge dot, but has a fine point on the top. The window on that optic is way bigger than any of the Vortex options. To me, $400 was a lot to pay for, but will be worth it. The auto brightness adjust is a great feature and really works fine in the brightest of sun. I've never had a situation (low angle, high angle, morning, afternoon, summer, winter) in which the dot (well, the delta, in my case) washed out. I suppose you'll have to get back to us concerning whether the smaller dot washes out, but I suspect it won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Hello: Try a bigger dot module in the C-More slide ride. An 8MOA dot will be very bright even in direct sunlight. If it is not you can tape off the back side of the lens so you can see the dot. Thanks, Eric Edited March 12, 2017 by Aircooled6racer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Rts2 in 8moa is plenty bright enough even in direct bright sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 C-More Railway. You can see the dot on the brightest of days. There is plenty of adjustment and the dot stays a circle no matter how bright you make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I hear the GR sunshade help a lot and it just snaps on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrispies Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 My RTS2 is extremely bright. I'm in sunny California, and it never goes to the highest setting unless the battery is wearing out. In fact, I have to swap out a good battery with a low one amd drop the brightness setting to the lowest position in order to dryfire in my garage, which is relatively well lit.

ShortBus Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Well if the DPP doesn't work out I'll try the RTS2. Gonna google the GR sun sheild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 https://cpwsa.com/products/guga-ribas-c-more-scope-protector It looks better in person. The guy who showed it to me said it works pretty well in the Florida sun. I've been using a 6moa or 8moa dot (definitely brighter than the 6moa, BTW) on C-mores and haven't had a problem unless the sun is very low and behind my back, which is a situation I don't think the sunshade would help.

I wish there was something like this for the RTS2, not so much for glare but just to protect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
