  1. I have questions. Like what sort of mounting options are there as in are they compatible with aimpoint mounts and risers? Are the adjustment turrets covered or able to be bumped out of zero being a non-covered turret? How long did you do testing for because many budget optics are good for an afternoon or couple of weeks then start showing signs of failures? What about brightness settings for each color of dot? Also what size of dot?

  2. Hell yea! New to ars and building, thanks for the video! Gonna scoop one of them just not sure. Which was your fav. I like the rigidity of the bushnell but I like having the red or green option.

  3. Great review. I already have a scope on my 6.5 Grendel, but was considering getting a red dot for more fast action fun and this helped narrow down the options.

  4. I’m building a budget AR pistol and I’m looking for a good optic but don’t want to go too cheap. Have you ever messed with anything from sightmark? I hear mixed about them.

  5. Hey, Dan just wondering if your going to do anything on night vision as my young bloke who's just become a licenced shooter and thinks he knows everything there is about everything might just learn something new? Cheers mate!

  6. I have sight #2, and it’s served me well for the past year and a half whilst mounted on my AR. Never had any zero shifts. I’m considering picking up the Bushnell for my AKs.

  7. A gun review, awesome! I'm really wanting to buy a steinberger spirit headless guitar copy kit as a Christmas gift to myself, do you think you could build one on the channel?
    (Edit) specifically the solo spk-1 unless you know of a better option
