  Nick W.'s Red-Dot Sight Guide
Probably anyone who has ever used a red dot sight has said, "I've got to have one." This page was created to assist you in finding the dot sight that is best for you and your budget.
There are red dot scopes that have optical power, as in traditional riflescopes, and use a red dot or illuminated crosshairs as a sight point.
This enables the sight to be mounted directly to the firearm or a custom made mount, allowing the sight to be applied to applications that may not provide standard mounting options.

  Red dot sight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Red dot sights use refractive or reflective optics to generate a collimated image of a luminous or reflective reticle.
Newer red dot sights may use a chevron or triangular light instead of a dot for precision in aiming and range estimation.
Since dot sights can be mounted at any distance from the shooter's eye with no issues of focus, military rifle mounts usually place the sight in any mechanically-convenient mounting position, such as the carrying handle of the M16 rifle, or on a rail system (typically a Picatinny rail) on top of the rifle.

 Red Dot Sight
Red Dot Sight, also known as reflex sights or infinity sight, are the technology-of-the-day.
Red Dot sights use a refractive or reflective lens to generate a collimated image of a luminous or reflective reticle.
Since dot sights can be mounted at any distance from the shooter's eye with no issues of focus, military rifle mounts usually place the sight over the forend, about 12 inches (30 cm) from the shooter's eyes.

Red dot sights are nice, but all suffer from the same problem: They're hard to use in sunlight.
Okay, the tubular body of an enclosed dot sight shades the optics, but the problem of looking at a dim red dot that's overpowered by sunlight and superimposed off of objects that are also washed in sunlight leaves you looking for your dot and not at the target.
For reasons unfathomable, green dot sights remain excitingly expensive, even though the only real difference between a given cheap red dot sight and its expensive green dot counterpart is the color of LED the manufacturer installs in the thing.

 Red Dot Sights: Night Vision Goggles & Scopes
Red Dot Sight is an optical aiming device with a see-through, non-magnifying lens on which a red dot reflects.
No matter where on the lens the dot is (whether on the right upper edge, in the centre or on the lower edge), where is the dot on the target seen through the lens, there is hit.
The reason is that the intensity of the reflection on the semi-permeable lens of red dot sights is constant, unlike the reflection of laser beam which changes on different objects in the field.

 Using Red Dot Sights 12/2002   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Red-dot sights are so overwhelmingly popular with the NRA "Bullseye" shooter (and also IPSC shooters) that a word or two about how to use them seems to be in order.
Using these sights seems almost like cheating to the International event shooter who is restricted by archaic rules to using "iron sights" with their Patridge configuration of square front sight and square notch.
Dot size is pretty subjective, but my experience has led me to choose a size that is approximately 1/2 the area of the fl aiming area of the target for bullseye pistol.

 Mr. Completely: Red Dot Sights - Parallax and Sight Error
To me, it means that because the sight is not on the same centerline as the barrel, when you are sighted in, you are actually shooting the bullet slightly upward towards the line of sight, so its path intersects the point of aim down range.
Look through the sight, and with the dot centered in the scope, move the scope around until the dot is directly on something on a nearby wall, maybe a light switch, door knob, or whatever is handy.
When you are sighting in a red dot sight, make sure you have the dot centered in the sight, and practice shooting with the dot in the same place every time.
