Need help identifying a Tasco Red Dot

[peter2772000]

I bought this at Le Baron for $68. Only after getting home did I realize that the scope wasn't the one that belonged in this packaging.

According to the specs I pulled of the internet, the Red Dot bearing the model number BKRD42RGD has an overall length of 3.75" & a tube diameter of 42mm.


This is what I bought, packaged in the previously-shown & stapled/pre-opened plastic box.

It's clearly marked "Pro-Point", not Red Dot. The body diameter on what I bought is closer to 47mm, and the overall length is 4.16". It has an 11 position dial (5 red dots, 5 green dots plus "off"). The 2032 battery was missing as well, but I happened to have a spare lying around.

What the hell did I buy? I get the impression I made off with a great deal due to some nasty return mix-up, but I can't find any info on pricing or specs on what I have. It's driving me bonkers....

Yes, you lucked out. This model ProPoint is about double the price of a RedDot. For comparison, go here: http:// w w w.opticsplanet.net/tasco-red-dot-scopes.html On this webpage, you should have had the first model but received the last model shown in the section "Tasco Red Dot Sights". Well done!!

I dunno guys....

The PDTS133 is listed as a 30mm and has an 11 position, red-only dot. It also has "Red Dot" printed on the side. Mine says "Pro-Dot" and has a green & red dot set-up. Any chance this could be a discontinued model?

As well, what does the 30mm dimension stand for? Body diameter? I.D. or O.D.?

Bump!

Anyone? I think I'm developing OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) because this is driving me nuts.


I don't know for a fact what I have. As well, I'm now worried that if I were to use it on anything bigger than the 10/22 for which I purchased it, it might fall apart. Is it possible that this is a .22 only item?

I have scoured the internet looking for something with the same graphics & dimensions as my scope, can't find anything. New or used.
