DaisyElectronic Point Sight

Revised 5-26-17This is a match made in heaven for a non recoiling gun such as my Beeman P17 pistol and my Crossman 1300 series pistols. Dead on accurate at 10 meters, hits a 5/8" square of electrical tape every time. I love it. The threads are a little course for adjusting the windage and elevation but if your gun can shoot this sight can put you on target every time.I bought 2 of these from my local farm supply store. I mounted one on a Hatsan 177 cal. springer air rifle. It does not matter how tight the mounting screws are, the unit "floats" on the windage and elevation adjusting screws, and wobbles a bit. Not a big deal, it should center itself like a plastic spring returning to its "relaxed" position. The choice of 2 brightness settings is great. At 10 meters the red dot covers the center of the target nicely and the first shot goes right there. The point of impact changes about 2 inches to the right for the second shot and another 2 inches for the third, and on and on until it cant move any more. It absolutely cannot handle the recoil of a break action air rifle. I am going to try to fix it, because it is just so perfect for that first shot, if I can just get things to stay put it would be a 5 star produce. It is cheap and feather weight and when it works it works great. I may have to epoxy something in place. The adjusting screws move with recoil. If you can stop them from moving this is great for plinking. A dab of silicone glue should work. The adjustments are very course so make sure you have things where you want them before fixing them in place. It is probably a 10 moa sighting device. The dot is large. Good for plinking, not for target shooting.

This is for air guns, not for any airsoft guns, they will not fit. This thing is pretty small and it's made out of a thin plastic, it's not that sturdy but the sight works well. For its quality the price is reasonable

I needed a replacement for my circa 90s Crosman COPPERHEAD red dot sight, that after years, finally crapped out . It was mounted on my early 2000s Crosman 760 Pumpmaster.Since I had such long and tried and true service with the vintage Crosman Copperhead Red dot sight I tried first the current Crosman 0290RD Wide View Red Dot Sight sold on Amazon . Unfortunately for some reason that sight could not elevate enough to center in the wide view lens and to co-witness with the 760 front sight , so I returned it.Despite being forewarned by reading the reviews about the red dot reticle being quite large,too bright to be usable in low light etc, I decided to go ahead and give this Daisy Electronic Red Dot Point Sight a try.At first impression , I loved the small compact size and secure 11mm dovetail base. The second I flipped the on switch & I saw a large red amorphous blob in the view finder instead of a "red dot". The red blob on this sight will easily cover a medium sized orange 10 feet away.It only gets worse the farther away you get from your target. The red blob completely obscures a 7 " shoot n see target at 30 feet. I returned it immediately.I was really hoping for the best due to the small footprint this makes on the bb gun . If daisy could just get their QC act together they might have a neat little plinker sight here for a decent price.Oh well, guess I might give the Crosman 0290RD Wide View Red Dot Sight another try........sigh....

This is by far the best affordable sight replacement for your iron sights. Easy to zero, holds it well and so far a good experience using it on any small caliber air rifle , pistol and even on a 22lr. If you're looking to hit the target on a budget, then this one's for you.

This is another one of those you get what you pay for reviews.I got this for an air pistol that was shooting way above the max adjustment for the irons.Right out of the box I could tell this thing would need some work to be usable. The dot gets larger and larger the further it is from your eye. Might not be a problem on air rifles, but on pistols the dot was so large that it was larger than a pop can 10 feet away. Also the brightness is an issue. I specifically picked this model over the crossman one due to it having 2 brightness settings. Both are so bright that it washes out the target. Additionally the thing sits pretty high over the bore. I understand that there are adjustment concerns that necessitate this height. But a little tweak to the mounting and adjustment plastic part could bring this down to a reasonable height over bore.So having blown 9 bucks on this thing and being unhappy, but not unhappy enough to return it, I modified it. The low power setting just uses a 100 ohm resistor and the high power setting is direct to the battery. I threw a 500 ohm potentiometer in series with the factory 100ohm resistor and that brought it down to a usable brightness in lower light situations. (I'll be upping this to a 1k trim pot) I replaced the plastic mount/adjustment piece with one that I designed in cad and 3d printed. It lowers the whole assembly almost half a centimeter and keeps it from hanging up on the exterior housing which was limiting the adjustment. I might throw the design up on thingiverse if anyone is interested.Adjustment and zeroing was difficult before and after the modifications. There are no instructions on the sight or in the instructions that say which way moves the POI in which direction. So you have to guess. This is compounded by the fact that the glass that the dot is projected isn't uniform across the surface. It is wavy. So depending on where you adjust the dot it can be a little or a lot of difference depending on how bad the window is warped.Maybe I got a bad one? I don't know. But I've owned and used red dots from cheapie knockoffs to sig and holosun to holographic models from eotech and I've never had as many issues getting any one of them to adjust for zero as I have had with this. But hey, it was 9 bucks.
