trodrig Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Does anyone have any good/bad experiences with the BSA holographic sights? Midway has one on sale for 30 bucks, regularly 99.99, that I'm thinking of picking up to put on a Ruger MKIII. Please let me know what ya'll think! The model is "RMDS". Thanks!

clown Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I've been looking at it for a couple of weeks and reading reviews. I figure its worth the gamble on a no recoil .22lr. I did find a comment and picture from a guy that had it on a 12ga pump shotgun and has had no problems. I would think his is the exception. I wouldn't put one on a heavy recoilng gun. It will be a fun cheap plinking optic for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp78 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I've not heard much about them either, but for $30 I'll try one on my MkII too. Here's a link for people interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 It's pretty big and heavy.. I got one.. it's ok... I took it off the pistol and put it on the rifle as a quick side sight at Iron man this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigdawg Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I have the other model with the different style reticals on my Browning Buckmark 5in protarget. There is no where around here to shoot steel with it but I do think its a ton of fun shooting a dualing tree with it at the local indoor range it works great. The Browning is already heavy so I didnt notice it being top heavy or anything. For $30 I dont think you can go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trodrig Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 Thanks folks! I agree, for 30 bucks, it's worth a try! Gonna order one today! Trodrig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Guys, I did the same thing....it didnt last 3K........If you dont want the dot to crap out at a match I would buy a more expensive quality one. We get tired of the old adage...."You get what you pay for...." ,but it is really accurate when you are dealing with these cheap dots.....FWIW DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBF Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I just got one ordered right before I had my right shoulder worked on so it will be a while before it gets tested at the range. Seems sturdy enough for the price, the base looks to be aluminum and the mounting seems fairly solid and also aluminum . Kinda heavy and a little large for a pistol sight IMHO . Fits a Mechtech CCU fairly well height wise with room for a cushion on the " stock ". Center of glass sits somewhere around 1.85 inches above the top edge of the mounting rail . Needs access from the bottom to replace the battery ( the rearmost position on a Mechtech CCU gives just barely enough room to get the battery changed without dismounting ). The dot is not really round , or well defined , but is usable for $30 . Just .02 Travis F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
