Dennis Loh Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 I want to have another go at the 'hud' type of scope. Shooting a tube style now / Aimpoint Comp. I have tried shooting the 'hud'(C-more) many years ago and I had problem locating the dot. I guess I did not try hard enough and also not given sufficient time to it. I have shortlisted down to two types of 'hud' which I like namely OKO & OMNI. Don't ask me why I did not include C-more. Nothing really just do not like it. The OMNI is heavier but you can change the dot size on the spot. It has a 33mm lens. It has all the good features but still is not very popular. Wonder why????? The OKO is the lightest and shortest even lighter and shorter than the C-more. It has a smaller lens / 26mm. OKO & OMNI are parallex-free. C-more lens is 28mm. The pros and the cons, brightness and the reliability aspect of it. I find that under the sun the 'hud' is harder to see as the dot seems to wash away.

kbear38S Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 If you had trouble finding the dot on a C-More, you'll have the same problem with the OKO and Omni. The reason people have trouble finding the dot is because of an inconsistant grip and presentation; quite simply the gun isn't at the same place every time. I have a couple C-Mores and an OKO on my AR and another on my Rem 1100. Next open pistol I build will use a C-More again though. Things I like about the OKO is the battery used is more readily available than the OKO and is much cheaper. The brightness knob is much easier to use. The C-More has a scratch resistant lens wheras the OKO is very clear about not cleaning the lens dry. That's important to me because of crud blowing back from the comp. It's easier to just wipe it off with a rag. You just can't scratch the C-More lens. The OKO also seems more prone to getting sun flare in the lens when the sun's shining into the lens. One of my C-Mores has a sharper dot than the other or the OKOs. The other C-More is about the same as the OKOs. One more important attribute of the C-Mores is they work forever. I haven't used the OKOs long enough to know about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Rabbit Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 I use OKO on both of my blasters. I had use Aimpoin XD before and the OKO are the same line of sight as Aimpoint. I didn't have to change grip when I change from Aimpoint to OKO. The batteries are easy to find and cheap. The dot are very bright compare to C-MORE, even in the very bright sunlight. Shooting with the OKO for six months no problem at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Loh Posted July 19, 2002 Author Share Posted July 19, 2002 kbear38S, I have no problem locating the dot even with my eyes closed when doing the 'awareness axercise'with the Aimpoint. Maybe I did not give myself sufficient time when I tried the C-more. I was switching between the C-more & the Aimpoint and I found that the Aimpoint was much easier to shoot with at that time. Roger Rabbit, Now that you have switched over to OKO from Aimpoint, did you find any advantages in doing so? I need to invest in a new mount to fit the OKO and I am thinking of the CR Versa Mount. Mounts are limited for OKO for Tanfoglio frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Rabbit Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 I have clearer vision on OKO. And the battery are easy to find. I use STI mount with the OKO. I have notice that switching between aimpoint and oko are easier compare to aimpoint and cmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome Poiret Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Rabbit, Does the STI mount position the OKO very low ? I assume you're using the dedicated mount, not the allchin for Cmore with the adapter plate, right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Rabbit Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Allchin or other with the adapter plate will make it higher. May be as high as Cmore. The STI Oko mount will make it lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Rabbit Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 And Yes, I use the STI-oko mount. If you want lower than the STI you can use OKO-mount. I did'nt use it because it's not single side mount. And I don't want to drill another holes on my guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary meyer Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 I have 3 omnis. all of them have broken down but I sent them back and they are fixed with no questions asked. Using the small dot to shoot far targets is a great advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
