Off set dot recommendation

[93notch]

Hey everyone,

 

     I am looking for a nice large window red dot to use as a offset dot on my rifle. I have been through 2 holosun 510C they just won't last. I haven't figured out what is causing them to just stop working. I want something with a nice large window and bright dot.

What gun are you shooting. I have 510C on a few 223 ar's and my PCC and they won't quit. I should knock on wood.

I have been doing research on this topic. After running a T2 offset and Delta Point Pro offset, I have settled on a 3MOA DPP on a Trex arms 1.93 45° offset.

I am running a C-more RTS2, 6MOA.  I'm very happy with it.

I run an SRO. Huge window. Love it.

I went with a Vortex Razor MRD. Biggest reason is that you can turn on the dot from the top. Most of the MRD that I dealt with where all left side activated, which unfortunately covered or partially blocked by the scope ocular side.

I run the 6moa DPP

Holosun 407 works great

Depends on how much you want to spend. Trijicon if that’s comfortable for you. Otherwise the venom or razors ar a lower price point.

Hello. Is there any possibility how you have your offset mount positioned is allowing brass to hit the 510c when ejecting?

I am running the same setup on my gun and love it.

i have had 2 510C's die as an offset of my rifle. One lasted about 10 months and the other lasted less than 100 rounds

Check into Shield sights out of England. They have everything your looking for and they are tough!!!

C&H precision has some new dots that look good

The vortex venoms are a nice cheaper option that have held up to beating pretty well and have a decently large window. They are also fairly easy to turn on and off

[StealthyBlagga]

There are lots of options - I favor tube sights so have used anything from Primary Arms to Vortex Crossfire to Aimpoint T1. None have ever failed when mounted on my 5.56 3-Gun rifles, even when dropped. You don't need anything as big or heavy as the 510C so long as you mount the optic close to your eye (i.e. next to the ocular bell of your scope). There is ZERO benefit to putting the optic further away from your eye as all that does is reduce the effective field of view. Don't listen to the Tactical Timmies,... look at the approach the top 3-gunners take and copy.

Absolutely love the Holoson 509Ts I run on my 5.56s. I've also been really happy with the 503Bs on my PCCs.

 

I really like the size of the circle dot (32MOA) reticle on the 509T (also on the 507s/508s. It seems perfectly sized for 2 gun/3 gun/tac rifle matches. On the 503 I run the dot only as the circle (65MOA) circle seems too large to be especially useful in competition.
