Cheers bud , I really like the look AND the idea behind it .?
View so far:
275grams for the red dot and 400 grams for the D-EVO, so not heavy at all. My SRS sight is 395grams, so whilst this is heavier, it’s not much more for a multi-mag scope.
An EOTech holosight, by comparison, varies from approx 350-400grams
You can use either on their own obviously, but the D-EVO is designed to be used with this red- dot so lines up well underneath the viewing window.
Setting up is straightforward, you have two sights to align, recomended by Leupold is set up the red dot first, then align the D-EVO. Personally, I found it easier to do the other way around, zero the D-EVO first, then as the red dot has no magnification it was easier for me to zero that, but I don’t think it really matters, as they are iindependant sights.
Using it is excellent, I quickly got used to flicking my view from the 1xmag red-dot to the 6xmag D-EVO, it’s a really natural feeling, so much so that I didn’t have to make any effort right from the off.
Build quality is pretty good, no real issues. Two separate solid screw mounts for Picatinny rails, nice dark grey hard finish with all trade marks. Using the zero adjusters with a big screw driver scratched them immediately, but only slightly. Next time I’ll tape it up.
Optic quality is great, recticles look good.
No idea on battery life, but as only the red-dot needs a battery, should be OK.
The only real drawbacks are the the price ($197) and the lack of available B.B. protection (not a prob for me target shooting)
