Bushnell Advance Micro Reflex Sight 1x5 MOA Dot, Black

This is the first experience I have ever had with a red dot sight mounted on a pistol. So far so good. Installation on my Glock 34 MOS was a breeze. Zeroing the sight was a bit more difficult but I attribute that to my inexperience as opposed to the actual product. It has held up and maintained its zero through hundreds of rounds of various grain weights. For an inexpensive sight it performs great. It's worth buying and trying for yourself.

Really nice Red Dot. Was really bummed when it wouldn't fit my Berreta APX A1 Carry. Bright in light and dark. Seemed to be well made. Just not the right pin pattern. Don't want a riser when using it for CC.

The reticle becomes very blurry as the brightness increases, but at low to moderate brightness it looks good. Overall built very well, looks really good. Low profile red dot, great for pistols, SBRs or SMGs. 4/5 Stars.

I installed this sight on a Bushmaster XM15. That is an AR with a fixed "carry handle" (old A2 style) so finding a red dot that still allowed me to have decent cheek weld while firing was hard. I needed something low profile (low rise) and this worked! Looks great and functions even better, I like the one push on, retains a memory of the last brightness setting with and easy adjustment up and down. Adjustable for windage and elevation as any sight would be. Battery compartment is mounted on the side allowing for easy battery changes without having to remove the sight like some red dots. Comes with a form fitted rubber cover to protect it while not in use. A+.

It felt sturdy and looked to be of good quality until I got to the range. Only fired 2 rounds and the dot disappeared. Apon inspection the led that projects the dot blew out and turned brown and black. I will be returning for a refund and getting the Burris fast fire or a holosun instead.

This review deals only with the unboxing and initial thoughts on the Advance Reflex Sight (5 MOA). First there are no instructions in the box, no QR code that takes you to a manual online...nothing. So they are saving money on paper, ok. The sight is completely assembled and will not turn on, ok. I unscrewed the battery cover and looked at the edge of the battery, expecting to see one of those plastic discs keeping the battery from making contact with the terminal, couldn't see anything. So I decided to remove the battery and take a look. After picking at it for a while I had to resort to using the tip of my knife to edge the battery out of the compartment. It was tight and didn't want to come out. Finally I got the battery out and no plastic disc or cover. I grabbed a flashlight and found the plastic cover still in the battery compartment. I got it out and all is well now. But still, who thought it was a good idea to force this plastic covered battery into the compartment, install the screws and NOT let the consumer know with a card in the box or maybe a sticker with instructions. Just leave the battery out and we will install it.

Super easy install on 22 LR ( AR chassis) with a .75inch riser I had to use to see the red dot. Once dialed in it’s complete cheat code for shooting with both eyes open.

Got this for my Ruger 22/45 Mark IV Lite. I have shot thousands of rounds using this red dot on this gun. After the first 1000 or so I did have to loctite the screws as they were loosening, but this was to be expected. Since then I haven't had to touch them. Once sighted in it seems to be holding it's zero well. I would highly recommend this for a good budget range dot. Not ideal for carry as there is no shake awake feature or anything like that. Would love to see this feature added.
