Primary arms red dot
« on: March 20, 2013, 01:09:39 PM »
Ive been waiting for these to get instock.  Theres pretty good reviews on them for a cheap $69 red dot instead of a walmart special.  Gonna put it on my 20ga shorty for turkey season.

I looked at those sights last night. It's fairly impressive to see over 100 positive reviews giving 5 stars. I have often thought about putting a red dot on one of my treestand/groundblind hunting Handis. At those prices there's not a good reason not to try one.

Thanks, Dinny

If either of y'all get one, please review it on here.  Id like to hear what you think.  Maybe I am just cynical, but I find myself getting more and more suspicious of internet reviews I read on sites with the products for sale.

I have killed numers of deer with a cheap Wally World red dot. It doesn't jump on my muzzleloader so I bought one and tried it on my Ruger SB.  Love em! It's like chucking rocks.

The 3 MOA dot, 200+ hour batteries and parallax free sounds pretty good.  The 5 MOA dots are just too large., and the CR2032 batteries you find in most red dots just don't last long.  It looks interesting.  It might be nice for a one rifle, close range dusk and dawn setup.  I've got three 5 MOAs sitting on a shelf.

Got it in the mail today.  Put it on my 20ga shorty.  Mounted it temp. With superglue to decide the location.  It's perfect in the "scout" setup.  Didnt plan on that but it was a little high in the normal spot.  Its nice and bright in full sun and now I gotta find out whats in season to test it out on.  Way worth $60!

Did you stick with the standard low ring mount or upgrade to the high?

It comes with its own specific mount.  Like I said my cheek weld on that stock is pretty low so I had to move it forward and down.  Im gonna try some slugs thru it.   Its so light and short...my USH might collect some safe dust next season.   They also have AR mounts for them...might buy another seeing Im starting an AR build soon.
