UTG 4.2" ITA Red/Green CQB Dot with QD Mount, Riser Adaptor

I purchased this sight to sit on top of my Aimsports Quad rail on my wood stock 10/22. After about 20 rounds I had it sighted in to 50 yards and it stayed dead on. The sight picture is clear and wide, and the dot is very visible. One of the great things is that this sight comes with red and green options. As I was shooting up to and past dusk, being able to switch the light over was great.This light IS very bright, but not distracting. Even the lowest setting is visible in daylight. The adjustment knobs are very easy to access, but can be a little tough to turn at first. I believe it came with a two-prong tool to adjust the clicks, but on my day to the range I forgot it and just used my Leatherman instead. The inside of the adjustment knob is only aluminum, and soft at that. It can gouge pretty easily if you do not us the tool to turn the dial. However, I found that gripping the outer edges of the knob with the Leatherman worked fine because the edges are harder metal.The QD mount is very solid and works great, and the flip up lens caps are very high quality (but are also removable if you want).BONUS: I bought this sight along with "Magpul PTS MBUS Front & Rear Back-Up Sight Set Black Color Polymer"...They are inexpensive but good quality flip up sights that co-witness with this sight perfectly.I absolutely recommend this sight. It's a great package for a great price.

This is my second UTG red-dot sight. I got the little brother to this one last time and paired it up with my Bushmaster for coyote duty. After initial sight-in (I used a laser bore-sight to get it close before firing the first round), I played around with the fine-tuning for about 10 rounds before I was satisfied that it was where I wanted it. Adjustments are fairly simple, nothing complicated, and the varying dot intensities and colors makes it easier to pick up the point in changing conditions. I set it for zero @ 100y with 55gr rounds, and my best bench group was 1.1" (and no, it was not the gun - when fitted with a magnifying scope, she has shot a .71" group at 100 with 62gr M855).Considering this is a 4 MOA scope with the role of fast-acquire sighting inside about 150 yards, this is more than good enough. In fact, I would have the three coyotes testify about how good it does its job, but they are all dead. Two were one-shot instant drops, the second one I rushed the squeeze and had to put a second one in them after it made it about ten yards. Closest one was inside 20 yards, the farthest one was over 140 yards. The dot was clear and easily picked up at all ranges, and the scope has held its zero through multiple handling and shooting cycles.Is it perfect or even as good as, say, and EOTech or AimPoint? No, not really. It is big for its size and heavy for its size compared to the others. The dot is more of a back-slash shape at lower power, and never makes an actual 'dot'. Bullet impact is toward the upper left tip of the 'slash', but is is consistent and steady, so a round 'dot' is irrelevant. The rail mounting configuration is not ideal, but it is also not the worst I have seen.Battery life is high-average to low-good in my experience. My first scope from them (the little brother to this one) has given me (so far!) over 12 hours of use. This one seems to be in the same groove, but I have not had it long enough to find out for sure. On a related note, I tend to use my scopes at medium to low intensity settings, usually green. I find it works better for me, for whatever reason, in quick acquisition of the target. I also make a point to turn the scope off and confirm it is fully switched off when I am done using it. YMMV.Considering the price point and what you get, this is a great deal. It isn't perfect, but the issues it does have are either not unique to this scope or are minor enough to ignore when factoring in price.

Don’t let the negative reviews push you away from this red dot. Great product for the 99% of us that aren’t in the service. Sure there are more expensive options like EOTECH and Vortex but you don’t need to spend that kind of cash to achieve the same thing. This product is just fine for a backyard shooter. If you plan on jumping out of planes and going into combat, pony up and buy the EOTECH or similar. This is my 4th UTG optic on 4 different weapon systems and I haven’t had an issue with a single one. This glass is clear, the dot is a dot, it’s small and bright enough for outdoor use (use green in bright light). I paired this with the UTG 3X Magnifier on my .300 blackout pistol build. Quick attach is awesome and holds firm. People that stated it’s difficult to attach must be brain dead. This is so easy to attach to a pic rail and lock down. Yes I’ve been to the range with it and yes it’s simple to zero and holds it’s zero. Easy to lock the adjustment knobs too. Right out of the box it was only 1” high at 50yds. Literally took 6 shots to dial this in. Nickel sized groups. Planning to get that out to 100yds + but it’s f’kn cold out and don’t feel like freezing at the outdoor range. I’ll wait until spring. If you’re on the fence about spending hundreds for a similar optic I’d recommend trying this out first. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the quality UTG provides at stupid affordable prices. If you hate it, you’re only out a few bucks. Only gets 4 stars from me because the adjustable light intensity seems to either only be bright or dim. Not much in between. Not a big deal though.

Nice red / green dot sight at a good price. First I did like that it was both a red and green dot sight just to have the dual functionality. The construction is of good quality with a good mount for a rail. This provides a clear sighting for the user and holds it zero very well after it has been sighted in. I have so far only used with 5.56 / .223 rifle and it holds up well and functions without issue. The finish on the sight is also good and it looks right in place on top of the rifle.Unlike some I am not going to go and compare a $50 red dot sight to a $500+ one, if your standards require the high end one you would likely never be happy with the lower cost version. From my perspective for the price of this and the quality of the materials / finish and functionality you are getting good value for your money and I know I am happy with the purchase.
