I could not get a false dot to show up using a flashlight. The same test with an sro results in a double dot every time. Will test outdoors with low sun angle to confirm.

Just ordered one for my game gun. And a Timney Alpha.
FYI Midway has some discounts if you buy a qualifying optic today. I just ordered a Bushnell red dot to fit my Shield Plus but there were several others available.
Looking forward to the end user reports. Bushnell optics are an unknown for me but somehow I’ve mentally equated them with Crimson Trace, Sightmark, Firefield (Fireforce? something like that), etc.
I’m going to try one at least until Aimpoint comes out with a compact option.
Mine arrived yesterday, and I briefly examined it when I got home from a trip.
It comes with 2 lengths of mounting screws - I suspect that the shorter ones will be best for my LTT RDO plate, but I’ll do some measuring to confirm today. I’ll be interested to try it, and will report back here on impressions.
Didn’t like how high it sat on the MOS slide so I switched it over to this AIM slide.

I put it on my B92 LTT RDO. The dot seems a similar night-over-bore to my (still in Michigan getting fixed) SRO.
It’s made it through one zero/practice session, and one IDPA Match – a total of about 300 rounds very well so far.
The 4 MOA dot seems quite a bit smaller than the SRO’S 6 MOA and more like my MRO 2 MOA dots.
The Bushnell dot seems more like a very bright “point of light” vs the SRO’s 6 MOA which is more like a disk.
That said, it works very well for me, and maybe even makes it easier to find and track. Just noticing the difference in appearance.
If the durability is there, it strikes me as a good bargain alternative to the SRO.
(Ha - talking about durability when my SRO went down with +/- 3200 rounds on it…)
Depends on what line of optic you’re looking at. The Elite Tactical line has proven itself to be quite robust in the precision realm. I run several older ET models and they work great. I’d definitely be interested in an ET RDS line based on their track record, but I also realize an RDS is a different animal than a variable magnified optic, so we’ll see.Quote:
