Initial Review of Pinty Red Dot / Green Dot Sight
My initial unboxing impression is that this Pinty sight appears to be solidly built and very handsome in design and color - I chose flat dark earth. The sight is a bit heavy, owing to its rugged aluminum construction, which leads one to believe that the sight can take some abuse. This would be a desirable quality for a sight mounted on an AR-style rifle; however, since the Care and Maintenance section of the instruction leaflet states “Take care not to drop or knock the scope once it is zeroed,” prudence would suggest not putting that “ruggedness” quality to any severe tests. Prior to my purchase, I read one review that stated that the red and green dots visible in the aperture appeared to be like a “cloud” of unfocused pinpoints of light. After inserting the battery and turning on the unit, I got that same impression when looking through the scope; but then I put on my prescription glasses, and the image sharpened to fairly crisp dots - not the scope’s fault! Given the price I paid for this scope ($34.99), I’m sure that the optics and electronic internals may not be best in class, especially since this is a Chinese product; but as long as the scope can hold zero, I’ll consider the trade off acceptable. One thing I DO like is the spring-loaded flip-up aperture covers! They protect the lenses well when not in use, and they quickly flip up out of the way when you need to shoot. My Bushnell came with caps connected by elastic cords… easy to lose! The instructions could be a little more detailed, but at least they are written in grammatically correct and intelligible English, unlike many other “Made in China” products. I have yet to mount this scope to a rifle, but as of now I’m very pleased with this purchase.
