1000 hrs run time and no shake awake. You'd be better off grabbing a cyelee t3 or any of the well reviewed Romeo 5 clones on Amazon for the features
GayIsForHorses@reddit
Are people really using their guns so much that 1000 hours of use isn't enough?
don2171@reddit
When others offer 50k hrs why settle for less that and shake awake means not bothering any buttons

How good is the cyelee t3?
don2171@reddit
Survives a ks47 abuse just fine also got a agukexsa Romeo clone on a sds s12 holding up too
akrisd0@reddit
I don't have the T3 but I bought a wolf S2 for my TX22 and it's great. Does well on my Henry 357 too.

Terrible run time
ieatfrontbutts@reddit
I got this for $35 from PA on a flash sale in August. I've only left it on after a range trip twice, battery was dead next time i opened my safe both times. That said, quality and durability are def more than $50, and if you just want something on a safe queen that you don't want to move optics back and forth on it's fine for $50, but there will be better optics in the $50-$100 range in the next 2 weeks for sure. That said, skip Mcdonalds twice this month and you get the equivalent of a decent backup RDS for the same price. Also stop eating McDonalds you fat fuck.

That’s awful runtime

Actual cost on an old design that uses a laser instead of LED must be like $15/unit at 100,000 units.
But anything with a laser looks like a comet with my 'Tism.

Are you telling me the led fixes the astigmatism issue? I’ve just ignored anything but iron sights for years because it looks like I’m aiming into heavy storm trooper fire.
Dickasauras@reddit
I bought mine for a friend that never shoots his guns
ieatfrontbutts@reddit
Agreed, but if you're tired of moving optics back and forth and just want something on your cheap 10/22 that you only take out for the nephews, it doesn't suck.
good_man_once@reddit (OP)
This is true
technicalxtasy@reddit
I bought a few No regrets. They are fine for the intended firearms that are range use only.
Miklo4pf@reddit
Had this in my cart about today and decided to come to reddit for opinions. Thanks for saving me the 50.00 bucks
Sudden_Construction6@reddit
So this, or a Romeo 5? Seems like by the time you buy this and the mount to raise it up it'll be close in price?
good_man_once@reddit (OP)
Romeo 5. If you’re really strapped for cash check eBay. I’ve picked them up for $50.
Sudden_Construction6@reddit
Thanks man I haven't thought of eBay. I've seen them on GAFS for around $80 but they go quick even at that price
Winner_Pristine@reddit
Romeo 5. Battery life matters.
RichIT123@reddit
would this work as is (short mount) an offset Red dot for when you have those big scopes that dont' have a 1x? or an RMR footprint is better for this ?
IXVanity@reddit
Could you? Sure. Should you? Meh. 500-1000 hours on a CR2032 is abhorrent. Likely because it doesnt have an auto on/off like shake awake/motionlive. I'd just spend the extra $50 on a romeo5 (cheaper if used) and get a better quality dot with a better warranty and comes with a low and standard height mount.
good_man_once@reddit (OP)
Posting top level as several people have pointed out that the battery life is terrible, even for $50. Only a deal if you can live with it.
LiberalLamps@reddit
These were $30 a few months ago. I threw it on a UTG lower 1/3 mount. Works fine as a budget optic, no frills but the brightness dial is very stiff.
good_man_once@reddit (OP)
That would be a much better deal for the apparently terrible battery life
MagazineInTheSheets@reddit
Tempting. Should I hold out for a better deal on their other optics?
good_man_once@reddit (OP)
Wait for sure battery life is apparently terrible
