AdamO Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Well,... technically he's got until almost midnight tomorrow for someone to jump in here and save his a$$ assuming this FNG (me) understands "The Rule" correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) found it for 229 shipped. think there's a day left on the deal. I'm no amateur lol. could be pretty cool on my pistol build. was just wondering if my Benadryl fuled late night impulse buy was a mistake. http://www.dvor.com/armasight-red-dot-special-35-2014-09-02.html it's 229 and $10 shipping, but new accounts get a $10 credit. [sales pitch] pm me an email addy if you want to join and ill invite you. ill get a credit. rene...you saved me 10 bucks on this :) Edited September 3, 2014 by blue109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm interested in knowing the battery life. I have an unused $15 credit on DVOR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) yea..I didn't see battery life anywhere. Rollin the dice. my little PA reflex has the same battery and no off switch and it's still going strong almost 2 years later Edited September 3, 2014 by blue109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 got an answer from armasight (about 45 min after I emailed them). they said 200 hrs constant full brightness. 10,000 hrs constant NV mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue109 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 initial impressions... pretty cool. came with the sight, protective cover, and the "tunnel" cover. the sight feels pretty solid. the 3 moa dot has a little bleed but not bad. the 20 moa circle nice and sharp. the auto bright works really well and adjusts fast. buttons all seem solid. if you hold the on/off button for 2 seconds it overrides the auto bright and goes to full power. holding the ret button down switches it to NV mode. the electronics are good so far. the tunnel cover seems like a failure point. it feels tough, but not magpul tough. the paperwork says it has passed drop tests, but I don't plan on verifying that. it has little rubber arms that hold the tinted lens cover on. it feels solid, and it's not really under stress but I don't trust it 100%. to be honest, I don't even really see the point of the tunnel cover other than looking neat. suppose it keeps dirt out of the path of the dot. it looks like it zeros by moving the sight in relation to the base, so I assume the base is proprietary and wouldn't be able to swap with any other systems. overall, I'm happy at the price I paid. id be not so happy at the $400+ I've seen it advertised for. ill update this after I get a few rounds through it. ill get some more pics up asap.

blue109 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 also of note...I think it cowitness, but all my guns have raised rails so I can't be sure. maybe I'm spoiled by eotech, but you really need to be right behind the gun to find the dot. seems a little less forgiving than my PA reflex.
