Question about Crossman red dot sight

[nost]

I have a crossman red dot sight, the one you've probabally seen at Canadian tire. i had it on a bb gun and it says its made for bb guns...but will it be fine on a .22?

I opened the case and put a small blob of epoxy on the LED. This kept the LED from moving around and changing the point of impact. It worked fine on the 22 but the problem is the red dot is just a reflection and in full outdoor sun it is almost invisible. Repositioning the LED to make sure the brightest part of the beam is out the front and not too the side might help. Replacing the LED with one of those high output ones might be the way to go. Still not a bad deal for $20.

Trash it

Trash it

why?

why?

Because it's Crosman and it's from CanTire .

Use it, if it gets wrecked, your not out too much.

if it holds zero then why not. i'm sure the dot is big enough that you don't need to change the elevation for different yardages.

I use mine for paintball. I think my paintball gun had more kick then a .22 lol

I just think they're too junky to be reliable.

i tried it out today and it seemed to hold pretty decent, but after shooting about 50 rounds the ruger mount became loose so i had to tighten it back up before i could continue shooting
