    Got mine yesterday. Go on YouTube and look up 704 tactical and his torture test of cheap Chinese red dots. On occasion the cheap ones are a good buy. This pinty is pretty good for the money. Good quality with the mount. Screws are good and take the required torque. Nothing gives or strips.

    Most red dots regardless of brand are made in China. Save yourself some money.

    Don’t let the price fool you. That 704 kid beats the crap out of em. I had cheap red dots before on a 7.62x39 build that never shifted or died.

    Thanks for the heads up. I'm in the market for a red dot. Might be able to convince wifey to buy this for me for Christmas.

    I have 2-3 of the Pinty Hologram sights. At least one on a 22/45 and one rifle. Might have a third spare somewhere IIRC.
    Anyway, I can see them in the daytime as long as the battery is good. Unless I spend a LOT more $, so far it is the only one I can see in daylight. And they hold zero. The ones I have are really pretty decent for the money.

    So who knows what a sig or bushnell really cost and how insane that margin really is? Possible that the cheaper red dots are more reasonable in margin? Obviously not the case with everything. A red dot is one thing. A scope is another. I will spend much more money on scopes.

    I've put about 6 of them through the ringer like pinty, CV life, ohuhu and natural life and only 1, an ohuhu red/green Dot crapped out on me. Ironically it had gone hundreds of rounds atop a 7.62x39 ar then died on a buckmark after maybe 100 rounds.

    I'd say primary arms and even the trs-25 are significantly better but for any range toy they are an awesome value.

    I want a primary arms. Those are nice.

    I have two sightmark wolverines. Those are great. Had em for a while. They are 308 rated.

    Got my pinty in the mail today. I'll take it out next weekend when pops is in town and get it sighted in.
