glockman75 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I just received brand new twin Infinity IMM open guns (after waiting a year) with Noblex / Doctor NV G Red dots and the dots are unshootable! They suggested these sights and I decided to try them. Oops. WTF? The dots have curved glass that distorts the field of view so bad it’s actually makes the target look 3/4 smaller! What a piece of junk! It’s like looking down a telescope backwards! Did no one ever look at these? Am I missing something? Holy hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I wouldn’t even notice that. Both eyes open? Should not notice it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PewPewJohnson87 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 SV recommended that sight? Looks like its more suited for the Tacticool crowd, just my two cents though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltdmstr Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I don't shoot open and don't have any experience with that optic. But, I do know they usually recommend stuff their sponsored shooters use. So, that would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glockman75 Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 I’m a GM. Not a national contender but I’m no noobie. This sight is horrible . It distorts the field of view making things seem smaller. It’s the opposite of magnification. Could the glass be installed incorrectly? Manufacturing defect or design defect? Is this parallax? It has massive parallax? It’s really bad. What the hell is wrong with this dot? I’ll be calling SV in the morning. I’ve never seen anything like this.

Bakerjd Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I just looked up this optic after reading your post and it seems like a decent one in paper. But you have to remove the thing to change the battery. Can't really see any upside to this at all. Price point is on par with R3 max/xl, alpha 3 ect... I do know a few of their shooters use doctor optics but I've never really looked at them myself. Honestly the whole battery under the optic part would keep me from buying it.

Silverscooby27 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I have one. Same experience. It sits in my basement in the box with the other crappy optics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyScuba Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 1 minute ago, Sarge said: You caveman!! LOL.. The only reason is the dot is much less apt to starburst than the others. I've had trifocal lens replacement which is why the more intense the dot the more supernova I get. I only discovered how crisp the dot was as I put a slideridge on my revo for ICORE open. My scores went up in ipsc after I switched my 2011 from an RTS2. On a more off topic note I can see irons without putting a patch on my left eye after the surgery. go figure. The noblex advertises as a German made optic. hmmm https://us.noblex-e-optics.com/products/sight-g-leuchtpunktvisier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, sorry about that RDS thing going on. You have to be pissed waiting that long for those only to hate the one thing you are staring at the most on the guns. I can't remember any of their US shooters running that sight and it seems like such an obscure RDS. Second though, crap! 12ish months when you were given probably initially given the 6-8 month build window is really disappointing to me. I was given an 8-10 month window late last year and now it sounds like it'll probably be Christmas before I see that one. Maybe yours took longer because you got two at one time?

glockman75 Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Update: The guns are going back to the factory (at my expense). SV is refunding and replacing the mounts and refunding for the Noblex NV G (POS) dots. I have decided to stick with Leupold DPP 3.5 dots. I've been running them in Open, PCC, Carry optics for years with very few failures. I already have about 5 of them. Just to make sure everyone understands. I'm completely happy with SV Infinity's fit, finish, workmanship, etc. They are incredible. It took longer than was originally planned but so did my pool, garage, lanai etc. This year everything took longer than was planned. The guns are absolutely amazing and I'm excited about shooting them and going to .38 from 9 Major. It's just the dots that are no good what so ever. I mean there is no chance that you could shoot these fast and accurately. The curved glass in the window of the Noblex NV G distorts the view. It makes the target appear smaller and is not suitable for high speed shooting of any kind. IF YOU HAVE A NOBLEX NV G ON ORDER CANCEL IT! Live and learn! Happy shooting everyone! Sincerely, Ian M.

Bdh821 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Looks like my 8-10 month time frame will be 12 months maybe Bonnie recommended that dot? on the plus side, I think Leupold DPP is the best dot on the market! I have 8 of them! I may try the eotech whatever that has DPP footprint. And I know what I’m talking about since I’m a national champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notanoperator9 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Then again... id rather take a garbage optic (and punched in the d$&k) versus trying to request a refund from Brandon... don't get me started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
