This is Vortex's new compact reflex red dot sight and I can't find any reviews on it. Just unboxed my Vortex Venom 3moa reflex rds ($329 @ SFRC w/free shipping-now sold out, other retailers may have it) and plan of using it on my Mossberg 590A1 12g shotgun. Bought a rail on Amazon with good reviews, seems to be solid. Just picked it up at the PO and haven't sighted it in or shot with it yet, initial impression is good. I have a Bushnell First Strike w/hi-rise mount coming that I was going to slap on my Thureon Defense carbine. Will post a follow up when I shoot with it. Hope this helps someone, seems to be very little traffic in the Optic section for some reason.
Lowest setting, gets quite bright. Still have to take it to the farm and sight it in.
Initially was worried about my cheek weld, but after holding it - doesn't seem to be an issue.
Bottom is a bore sighter, top is the red dot (about 8yds). Unsure where I should zero it or if I should adjust anything at this short distance.
^ Wish the dots were that clear to my terrible eyes, my astigmatism plays with it... they look more like flares but it's still effective for me. Love my Vortex Strikefire on my JRC.

) but take my word for it. The dot was nice and bright, still very early on but it held up to the recoil.
