This review of the C-More RTS3 optic highlights its significant improvements over the RTS2, particularly for competition shooting. Key advantages include a larger, clearer lens, a wider usable brightness range for various lighting conditions, and the elimination of the 'ghost dot' effect when shooting into the sun. The redesigned battery tray with dual set screws addresses a notorious failure point of the previous model, enhancing reliability for high-round-count use.
The Holosun 507Comp is a large-window red dot sight designed for competition, offering multiple reticle options including 2 MOA dot, 8, 20, and 32 MOA rings, and combinations thereof. It features a significantly larger window than standard optics like the Trijicon RMR and Holosun 508T, providing a wider field of view and more room for error. While durable enough for recreational use and competition, its suitability for duty use is questioned compared to more robust options. The retail price is approximately $370.
The Vortex Defender XL is a new competition-focused red dot sight from Vortex Optics. It features a large, clear window, a durable build, and an innovative battery door design that uses a spring-loaded pin and a securing screw to prevent accidental opening. The optic offers crisp dot clarity, no blue tint, and is comparable in size to other premium red dots like the Holosun 507 Comp and Trijicon SRO, making it a strong contender for competitive shooting.
This video provides a detailed review of the Vortex Defender XL red dot sight, comparing it to the Holosun 507 Comp. The speaker, Ben Stoeger, discusses its performance in bright sunlight, noting its superior brightness but comparable glare to the 507 Comp. He also addresses concerns about the 5 MOA dot size, optic durability, and pricing, suggesting the $400 street price is more competitive than the $600 MSRP.
This review provides a 20,000-round update on the CH Precision Red Dot, colloquially termed the 'Walmart SRO'. While functional, the reviewer notes minor wear from holstering and a single instance of the dot walking, requiring a re-zero. The glass clarity is described as less premium than higher-end optics. The reviewer compares it unfavorably to the Trijicon SRO and strongly prefers the Holosun 507 Comp, even at a higher price point, citing button usability and overall quality.
