By Dominic from USA on 2011-01-09 23:50:24 Things I liked:Its lightweight, fairly easy to mount, and is very easy to adjust. I mounted it on my Crosman Pulse R76 and it has great accuracy.Things I would have changed:I cant think of anything to change. What others should know:This is a great, high quality red dot sight at an even better price. I was debating to purchase this red dot sight or the Aftermath RD30 Socom sight because there are no reviews for it, but i am very happy i chose to spend the extra $13 and get this sight. Also, the one cumtomer who gave this 1 star must have just gotten an already used and returned sight by accident because my sight had none of the defects that he said his had, i think it was just a fluke. Buy this sight! Great price, quality, accuracy, and value! |  |

By thomas from USA on 2013-02-28 02:32:30 Things I liked:nothingThings I would have changed:thought it was going to be a good buy - what a mistake.. i didn't take it out within the first 30 days so i'm past the pyramyd support time.. i thought it would work since it looked great indoors - big mistake- if there is any daylight out, you can forget about seeing the dot - even at the 11 (max) setting.... i'm only hoping BSA might do something for me or i'm going to have to find a sucker to sell this to...... anybody know anyone looking for a red dot ? :P |

Things I would have changed:The nuts on the mounting screws stripped, needs better quality mounting hardware. Needs a scope stop pin for spring or gas piston guns with 3/8" dovetail mount to keep it from moving.
What others should know:Had to go to the hardware store to replace the nuts that stripped off the mounting screws. I put this on a low velocity (695 fps)Benjamin Titan nitro piston rifle with a 3/8" dovetail mount. The scope slid back with every shot, after about 15 shots it was sliding off the back of the receiver. The mount is too low to use a separate scope stop block without striking the lens frame. This problem was solved by installation of a 3/8 to Weaver conversion rail with a scope stop pin and flipping the scope mount over. I don't recommend this scope on a hard hammering gas or spring piston gun with a 3/8" dovetail mount. If you must use it on that type of gun, convert it to a weaver mount. ...2 star rating due to the weak mounting hardware. - Things I liked:Mounts easily, hasn't moved at all since I mounted it. Accurate, easy to use, great value for the money
Things I would have changed:red dot a bit blurred, slight distortion in the optics
What others should know:I have been using on my Crosman 1377 and it works great, but gun got a lot heavier because it needed the steel breech as well. Looks cool, too. - Things I liked:Easy to mount.Easy to setup and zero in.Good directions. Well made.Great price.By it!
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:I mounted this Red Dot on my Crosman 1377/PC77.It took all of 9 shots and 3 small adjustments to zero it in.I am shooting a 1" group at 60 feet.This is without a doubt the best Red Dot I have ever purchased.And it was recommanded by the Live Chat Guys at Pyramyd Air.This is only $30.00 and the best 30.00 I ever spent.Need a good Red Dot sight? Buy this one,you won't regret it!!!! - Things I liked:Great look, size, easy to mount and adjust!
Things I would have changed:The dot is distorted, make it clear red dot!
What others should know:After reading reviews I decided to purchase this sight and was very disappointed that the dot was distorted and hazy looking! Would not recomend this product. - Things I liked:Good value for the money. Big optic window. I have this mounted on my Crosman 1077. Nice combo for squirrel and chipmunk eradication.It was a snap to sight in with my laser bore sighter. I like it.
Things I would have changed:The red dot in mine is not round. This has not totally spoiled it for me, but target acquisition would be better if it were really round, not an apostrophe.
What others should know:This appears to be exactly the same red dot as the Aftermath unit. I'll bet my lunch money they come out of the same factory. - Things I liked:Bought this for my Crossman 2240. Took about 10 minutes to set up along with the Crossman 3/8" dovetail mounts. Took outside to site in and after about 10 shots, was hitting the bullseye every shot at about 50'. First time ever using a red dot sight and it worked with or without my glasses on. For the price, very satisfied. Whole bunch of vermin around my campsite ain't too happy though!! Gotta stock up on CO2 cartridges now. Going to be a fun summer.
Things I would have changed:Needs instructions hoe to change the rails from 5/8" to 3/8". Had to figure this out ALL by myself. Whew!!
What others should know:If you don't bookmark anything else in your life, make sure you bookmark Pyramid Air. - Things I liked:Looks (yea I like the sun shade look), price
Things I would have changed:The red dot moves so the scope is useless. The lens covers are truly garbage. Mount might be OK, can't tell the scope dot moves so much.
What others should know:Red dot sights are supposed to be Paralex free.That means when you look through the scope the dot is supposed to stay in the same place (where the bullet or pellet will hit) regardless of head placement. This sight does not work. The dot moves. Even a positive review states that the dot moves (the reviewer clearly does not know how a red dot is supposed to work). I also picked up a UTG sight and was plesantly suprised. It has red and green dots and is working well on my M4 Airsoft KWA rifle. If you want to try an inexpensive red dot try the UTG. It's not perfect but it is useable. - Things I liked:Excellent sight for the money
Things I would have changed:These sights could use a little something in the center to help line up the red dot easier... it's difficult to keep your target centered... the slightest movement of your eye location moves the impact point too much.CommentsBy Martin from USA on 2012-07-03 0 
The dot moving is paralex. Red dots are not supposed to move. Your sight is broken. Try the UTG sight and see what a red dot is supposed to do. The dot moving makes the dot useless. - Things I liked:First BSA 30MM Red Dot sight purchased from Pyramyd Air Guns - awesome, well made with good quality materials. Works well in both day and night conditions. Mounted easily and zeroed in with no problems. Used it on a Crosman M4-177 pump action air rifle.
Things I would have changed:Nothing - nice BSA product
What others should know:Works well - nicely made and good design at a great Pyramyd Air price!! - Things I liked:Functional red dot scope. Relatively light and very accurate at the short ranges I am using it for. It is not as good as my Ultradot Matchdot red dots, but it is far less expensive. If would recommend this scope for sub 50' shooting.
Things I would have changed:I don't like the mounting base. It looks like a quick release, but it is cumbersome and does not re-register exactly after removing. If it stays permanently attached, then it is not a problem. - Things I liked:easy to adjust, acurate, works awesome day or night
Things I would have changed:mount could be better built. - Things I liked:this is the #2 I buy both work great one on a pistol and 1 on a rifle
- Things I liked:A nice size for the application. Clear and nice dot size. A good application for someone who wears bifocals.
Things I would have changed:Make it easier to mount to the rail. Too much futzing around. Quality control could be much better. On mine the elevation screw just would not turn. I do wish BSA would check these things out. Had to mark it down for the non working part.
What others should know:So I had to send it back to PA. Love their return policy. They sent me another. This one works great...so far. - Things I liked:3/8 or 5/8 mounting capability. It fits in front of the breach on my crosman custom shop pistol. makes it easy to load.
Things I would have changed:nothing, does what it's suppose to. - Things I liked:Easy to use and set up.
Things I would have changed:Better mounting screws. - Things I liked:Well made dot sight
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Pyramyd is a great place to do business with.They will satisfy your needs and stand behind what they sell. - Things I liked:Easy to set up and sight in.Plus it's 3/8 and weaver.
Things I would have changed:nothing.
What others should know:Great scope for the price. Should have bought two. - Things I liked:I like the small dot size. I do a lot of target shooting and like the small red dot size on setting number one. The dual mounting capability is nice. Very easy to set up and dial in. got in black with around 10 shots. All netal case.
Things I would have changed:I purchased it for a semi custom Crosman 1377 pistol. It fits nicely with room for you to feed the pellets. But It would be nice if it was a bit smaller diameter, Other than the size, it is great.
What others should know:Solid construction. Easy to set up and use. Good price. Go for it......Jim - 12

Things I would have changed:I would like to see this work better in sunlit situations. You need to basically set in on a max brightness in high light. The dot seems to get bigger than it needs to be like that.
What others should know:I did not like this mounted w/ Crosman intermounts on a Mac1 Benjamin 392. It sat up higher, the dot seamed to float around, and I couldn't seem to keep it zeroed. However, on a Mac1 Benjamin Discovery it was a different story. With the dovetail mount, it sat lower, the dot didn't seem to float around, and I could hold zero alot better. Maybe it all depends on how & what you mount this sight on. It seemed to do well on the Mac1 Discovery, but it still can't top a great scope for precision accuracy with that rifle.
