 Simply can't be beat May 31, 2009

I searched for many an hour on many an AR-15 forum for the best non-magnifying budget optics for my brand new AR-15 (DPMS Panther Lite 16"). I saw this mentioned repeatedly as a good sight, so I went ahead and bought it. Simply put, this is the best red-dot style sight I've ever used. The dot and "T" are super crisp, the brightess settings are actually noticeable (unlike the NcStar on my AK--still a good sight for the money), and the optics are fully multi-coated and fog-proof. Another bonus with this sight is that it has functional iron sights on top.
My only beef with it is that it looks too much like an ACOG, so people think you just bought some cheap piece of crap ACOG clone. It doesn't function like an ACOG, and it's not supposed to, so IMO, it shouldn't be made to resemble an ACOG. Also, the brightest setting produces bloom indoors, however it is very, very minimal. You'd never use the brightest setting indoors anyway, it's VERY bright.
I'm an experienced shooter. I've shot through Eotechs and Trijicons just to name a few. For a non-magnifying red-dot scope, you can't get quality like this without going above the 600$ mark. If you have an AR/AK, or any military style semi-auto rifle (NOT an assualt rifle, semi-autos cannot by definition be assault rifles), this is the sight for you.

I did quite a bit of searching for the perfect scope for my Bushmaster xm-15 when i ran across this bushnell! i was a little skepical at first not knowing if it would sit high enough on my flat top reciever to see over my front iron sight. i ordered anyways and couldnt be happier. the image is crisp and it is an excellent all around scope. i would recommend this product to anyone.
Great value for the money September 15, 2009

I wanted to put a red dot on my AR-15 but i couldnt justify the price of an Aimpoint or EOTech, and after much research i decided on this Bushnell unit.
It works great, holds zero well, and seems to be constructed very solidly. A bit large and heavy perhaps, but i suppose that is the price you pay for durability in this price range. Overall i am very pleased with it.
One issue that many people have complained about is the tilted reticle, however this seems to be a mounting issue and not a problem with the optic itself. JUST PRESS DOWN FIRMLY ON THE TOP OF THE SIGHT WHILE YOU TIGHTEN THE MOUNTING SCREWS! That leveled out the reticle on mine, and i would be willing to bet that it will work for others with the tilted reticle issue as well.
Outstanding sight - among the best for the $ November 1, 2009

I do not rate products on the "cool factor," what other people think since it's not an Acog, or opinions. I rate shooting products on what works and why........function and ergonomics are my two criteria for rating.
Great sight!! #1) The T-Dot is a very good for quick target acquisition. I've used dots, dots with in the circle, etc and I really like the T-Dot a lot. #2) The brightness control knob is large and easy to grasp. I prefer that since I have larger hands. #3) It's built like a tank. It does not have the "flimsy" feel that a lot of the dot optics do. #4) Excellent external coating......almost like a rubber type coating so it is not slippery if you have sweaty or wet hands. #5) Easy to adjust windage & elevation controls. #6) Well worth the $ for what you get. #7) Crisp and clear T-Dot at each brightness level for each color. #8) Dual color is the way to go for daylight shooting.....red for bright lit days and green for lower light times. #9) I use one for the 5.56mm/.223 caliber (AR-15) and 7.62x39mm caliber (AK/SKS). Both sites hold their zero. You won't regret buying this site.

Let's get the "bad" stuff out of the way first. Yes, the reticle is slightly out alignment. I'd call it about two degrees. Is it the end of the world? Well, since this device will not be used for an engineering project my answer is "no". I found this sight to be very usable.
The second "problem" is that I had no experience with red dot sights so I didn't know what style to get. Something like this, more like a traditional scope, or a more open style. When the Bushnell sight arrived my first thought was that it was too big to use with both eyes open so I also got an ADCO Solo sight (those who play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will know the shape) so I could compare and see which I felt more comfortable with.
I first sighted in the ADCO and thought that shooting couldn't get much better. Then I tried the Bushnell and found that, yes, it could. Not only was it just fine for closer shooting, it was also pretty terrific for targets farther out. It may be just a function of the reticle style but the center dot with the three lines (two horizontal on each side of the dot and one vertical below the dot) works very well with this style sight. With this sight you get the feel of a scope and the lines help put the target right on the dot so your target's perceived distance is not as far as it is, even with "only" 1x. This sight works well at any distance you can still see the target and can be effective with .223.
Note also that it pairs perfectly with a flat-top receiver and the standard iron front sight (the M4A3 style). I'm told by an armorer at ADCO that any sight with the word "tactical" in the name will co-witness the iron front sight. Beware, this is a great idea but may not be in use industry-wide; some merchandising wonk may think it's a cool word to use with any design. Seems to be true with ADCO and Bushnell, anyway.
So, the ADCO Solo will probably get put on my M590A1 as this Bushnell sight was the surprise winner for me. Note that I have not had it long enough to comment on battery life, my thought would be to always have a few 2032's with you no matter which red dot you buy. As I did with caliber and my rifle choices, I'm sticking with sights that use only one battery size (which may effect your choice; different manufacturers may use different batteries). Less stuff to carry. Also, sight and reticle style will be an intensely personal choice, I'm sure. Best to try out a few before buying any sight if you can.
Hope this helps!
