BSA 30mm Red Dot Sight

I almost sent it back, thinking it would not fit a 3/8 rail. Shown on a Beeman P17.

Pros
It does fit a 3/8 rail, but

Cons
the instructions dont tell how. You have to take the rail bars off and turn them over so the 3/8 markings face out. Then it fits.

Pros
Its a decent sight for the price. You get what you pay for and the dot Is too big for my preference. I like a 3 moa dot this has to be 5 or 6 moa dot. Hey Edward, (the reviewer below) This sais It mounts to a 3/8" Dovetail. I know you got better things to do than read but even a 2 second google search would tell you some Fascinating Info. That 3/8" equals around 9.520mm which is 9-1/2mm dovetail. Furthermore, many dot sights and mounts have the Screws mounted permanently and have a retaining bracket plate with removable nuts on the other side. Also 99% of the time, with everything from scope rings, mounts, dot sights, adapters, etc the retaining bracket plate has 2 sizes, one on each end. You simply spin the plate Around. However, I dont believe this sight Is meant for 11mm dovetails

I put this on my Beeman P17 handgun because I need glasses to see the gun sights clearly which made the target very blurry, if I could see it at all, depending on the size of the bullseye. At 15 feet this allows me to have a clearer target with clear sights. It was easy to mount and easy to zero. It seems to be able to withstand the jolts and vibration form cocking the gun by holding zero.

Pros
May help if you use glasses to see near and or far. It helps me.

Cons
Instructions are in micro print.

For the money, this Red Dot is easy to sight and install. Just remember to turn it off or you will have dead batteries when you go to use it.

Unit itself is probably ok but unknown because it's impossible to mount. One of the 2 bolts won't even come out of the base. I'll need to return this item.

Pros
Delivered on time. Turns on.

Cons
Doesn't fit the 11mm dovetail. Hardware is badly machined.

I installed the red on my Benjamin Nitro Pistol. What a difference in shooting bullseye.

Pros
Easy to install and sight in.

Cons
None! It is red dot only with many brightness levels.

Very accurate, easy to use

Quality is very good. Holds on the dovetail very well. Great sight picture. Great for shooting at wood chucks.
Very clear vision and very easy to get sight picture.
Just wish it had a timer on the red dot. I keep for getting to turn it off. But thats just my stupidity.

Cons
None

Set up was easy, works very good. I like that it has an adjustable red dot.

You can't beat this for the price. I mounted it on my brand new Umarex Trevox .177cal monster of a gas piston pellet pistol. It already hits dead on without sighting it in! I was lucky on that count! It has a large (30mm) & clear sight picture. The red dot itself has 11 settings for brightness. So far, the lowest is fine for me. It also really looks wicked mounted on this particular pistol. Battery & lens covers are included too. It enables super quick target sighting, as opposed to using the iron sights for these 62yr old tired eyes. My only hassle was trying to mount it. The whole mounting assembly falls off if you don't hold it a certain way while trying to tighten it in place. It does however give you a choice of two sizes for the mounting rails you may have. I would've given a full 5 stars if it weren't for the mounting difficulties. The scope itself is a gem.

Pros
Great scope for the price.

Cons
A real hassle to mount.
