Steiner R1X red dot

[Garmil]

Anyone have experience with these? I bought one for some unknown reason that is on the way hopefully I'll like it. Looks a little similar to a hs510c, german schott glass, takes 2 2032 batteries, qd mount with a removable spacer.

 

The reticle setting with the extra dots could be useful for up real close or long shots, can also just use single dot.

It does have really nice glass.  I found found the dot to not be bright enough in AZ sun and it is quite heavy.

Interesting the reviews I read thought it was plenty bright. Not that much sun here though so should be okay.  It is on the heavy side, built like a tank it looks like.

It is.  Very easy to zero also.  Very well made.

I got it with the qd mount. Didn't pay that much, but yeah it's not cheap!

Got it and tried it out. I can see how that could be a problem in a very bright area.  I would say it is daylight bright its not to the level of a lot of the other sights out there. First time I used it I hit up again to get brighter and was already at max.

Yeah.. it is nice enough with some cloud cover and the three days a year we have that here I'm sure it would be fine.  :-)
