Review on Feyachi RDS-25 Red Dot Sight: 4 MOA Micro Rifle Scope With 1 Inch Riser Mount by Jerry Delic

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good customer service!

I was very excited by the reviews and price for this and the Feyachi flip up iron sights. Unfortunately, though they were both easy to install, I've found two issues. First, my red dot sight was not bright. Turning it up to 11 seemed to be the only way to get a real dot with it. It's visible on lower levels, but only if it's very dark in the environment. The second and more important issue: The red dot and iron sights simply do not co-witness. More than that, the red dot sight almost blocks the view of the iron sights. Without the riser, it's too low, and with the riser, it's too high. Using either individually might be fine, but having them both mounted makes both almost unusable. I'm not sure what the fix would be—maybe a 1/2 inch riser? Or I could move to canted iron sights. I bought both Feyachi thinking they'd work together. Slight bummer that they don't.Edit: This model is a lower 1/3 witness, not absolute co-witness. Feyachi reached out though and provided a fixed, brighter RDS. Very happy now!
