Have others had issues with the size of the Reticle in your line of sight? Ex: the single dot reticle covers your target..thoughts?

Unless your target is 1000 yds away, you won't cover it with the very tiny single dot reticle. The dot circle may obstruct you view a little at normal ranges but you still have 2 other choices and one of them will allow you to get on target fast without obscuring the target. I was just at the range a week ago and was very pleased with how well this sight performs. And yes, the single dot reticle is my first choice precisely because it doesn't obscure the target.

That is an inherent problem in ALL red dot style sights. The Lucid has other reticles to help with that, but if you are looking to go super long distance you should run a scope with crosshairs. If you're shooting a small target from long range and red dot scope may obscure the target. I use mine for 200 yards and less and haven't had a problem at all. For my long distance gun, I run a Nikon scope with crosshair reticle.

Try using one of the other settings or turn your brightness down low. If the dot covers the target and it is zeroed than it's a kill shot. End of problem! Douglas in Virginia

I'm shooting at a 100 yard outdoor range, so it's not a problem for me at that distance. Can't vouch for beyond that. Most shooters I know use a scope for beyond 100 yards, and a red-dot like Lucid's HD7 for CQC and less than 100 yard engagements.

Kyle I think that this is a multiple variable answer. First you must understand the weapon system that you are placing this on... Probably an M4 style system. Most of these systems range in accuracy from 1-3 MOA and probably closer to 3. These are generally not a precision weapon system and thus would not be used for competition shooting. This optic is designed for CQB and if the dot which at its brightest is maybe 3MOA, covering your target is highly improbable. Even at 100 to 200 meters which I think is the maximun range on red dot sights anyways it would cover perhps a 6 to 12 inch disc. Farther than that you are shooting in the "Neighborhood" of your target. So this optic is suited specifically for closer target acquisition where this should not be a concern. So I guess to answer your question it depends on what your intended use of your weapon system is... Defending your house or shooting small disc? I think that the answer should be simple and for that this optic is perfect. If you need anything else feel free to write me back.

If you want a scope with crosshairs. Buy a scope. As for the lucid, it has 2moa dot..tiny compared to vortex 5moa ormost others in the price range...its as good as it gets for a red dot. Shoot with both your eyes open. Your brain will fill in the blanks.

Well I haven't noticed any issue. At 2 mil it is half the size of most other red dots. If you use the magnifier it will be 4mil. How far out is the target? The further away your target the more the dot will cover it!

the scope was trouble for me as well, i bought a simple red dot holograph and put it on there. worked better.

Yep. However. The shot doesn 't go where the sights show on mine, both rifle & pistol. I finally stopped using mine. I'm back to taping a penny to the wall. I can see the hit as easily & the hit is where the sights show.

They are standard, you can choose crosshairs with dot in middle, eotech style, plain dot, or circle and crosshairs. If you have an astigmatism they may be blurry, like they are to me, but still no problems here. If you need the moa of the sights, the sightmark website states them. I used the crosshairs with dot in middle and it's easily accurate to 100+ yards

I have this scope on my 223. It is a 2nd focal plane reticle and the mil dots are only at the correct spacing when at 9x magnification. The 9x position is noted on the zoom dial with a small dot. I drew a 10cm grid on a board at 100 meters to verify. 3.9" at 328'.

There was a few bad ones in some of the batches they have gotten. Mine took around 100 rounds to get right. A3 Adams Arms upper was a bear to sight in. I can only tell you what I did. Sighted in at 25 yards. Then moved out to the 100 yard mark. I used a bench rest rifle holder to make sure I was STEADY!! only had the DOT reticle until it was zeroed at the 100. You can call them. The OWNER will work you through any problems. If he can't solve the issue. He will replace the bad one.

I also see an oblong dot, almost a set of dots that seem not round. I was diagnosed a few years back with a "mild astigmatism", and although I do have glasses, I generally do not wear them. I was unsure if it was the astigmatism or a faulty unit, so spoke with Trijicon on the phone and they said to exchange the unit with a new one. I did so through Amazon and found that the new unit did the exact same thing. I believe that its the astigmatism, and although mine is so mild that I don't have the need to wear glasses, it still makes the laser dot seem oblong.

Mine did need a small amount of calibration, my elevation line was too high. Fire at a fixed target from a padded flat surface.Mark your targets and check your calibration accordingly.

Well I don't know the actual size of the dot, but while sighting in my 300 BLK AR at 100 yrds for a wild boar hunt, I completely covered the bulls eye ring of my target. It had to be about a 4 to 6 inch ring, so if that helps to do the math. I also used the same setup to go deer hunting last year, the dot was about perfect, not huge like a BSA red dot for turkey guns, but not so small you have to use the t wings to assume where the dot is.

Did you install the rear sight? If so, how did everything turn out? Do the front and rear sights line up and provide accuracy? I have the 590A1 and am looking forward having this kit installed. thx for the feedback.

Hi-Yes- The reticle has mil-dots on the left and right horizontal and upper vertical. The lower vertical has BDC. Just to let you know that this is the only scope I have ever had that was dead on out of the box at 150 yards on an AR15 platform.. Love it

hi - i no longer have as i returned it within a week. i went with the vortex pst 6x24x50 ffp w ilum reticle - both are good for sure. what i do is go to the company website and identify the model i want with the options i want ex reticle, ffp or sfp, magnification etc and then shop. the model number drives all...atleast when i shop - hope this helps - drj

I have two. I only buy good quality optics and honestly I never had an optic that required more rounds fired to zero. It seems to me that after dialing a change in windage or elevation, it takes a few shots to get the change to take and then hold. After it "settles in" it seems to hold zero fine. Not a huge deal, but I don't care for this aspect on the sight.

When I first got mine I thought the reticle was moving around on me as I moved my head around but once I flipped up my iron sights that cowitness with the reticle I realized it wasn't moving all that much. In order for it to really affect me I'd need to shoot from an awkward position so I haven't had an issue with it yet

My reticle is a bit oblong, also. I can't answer if this is typical of this model it but doesn't bother me or my shooting.
2102705
Don't know if this helps, but it has a T reticle and the center dot is about the same size as every red dot I've ever used.

It sits great. Problem is mine came canted. Checked on my WASR and Arsenal on both canted to the right same angle . I bought it to use with red dot so was able to fix it with that. I saw some people were complaining about rail being canted. I guess just my luck. Otherwise it sits nice and snug , very low above dust cover and holds zero. I hope that was helpful
