- Things I liked:I have this sight mounted on my Crosman 2289 Backpacker. I can consistently shoot 3 shot groups in an area the size of a penny at a distance of 5 meters and 3 shot groups in a area the size of a quarter at 10 to 15 meters. I do this without a rest. This has turned my 2289 in to a tack driver. I'm thinking about putting one on my 1377.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:This is a good sight for the money. The dot is a little bright, but it is not much of a hinderance. - Things I liked:Not much.
Things I would have changed:Red dot too bright for me.
What others should know:mounted it on a 1322 pistol.Did not like the way it sat on the breech. Red dot too bright. Easy to knock out of adjustment. - Things I liked:Price.
Things I would have changed:This Red Dot is junk.Out of the box broke.Would not even get close to zeroing in.
What others should know:Don't buy,a waste of money. - Things I liked:Only the price.
Things I would have changed:More metal, better clamping, windage screws that stay put.
What others should know:This is a cheap imitation of a red dot sight. No matter how hard I clamped things down it would not stay in position on a Browning 800 express. It is cheap and a decent value for the money spent, but really is a waste of time and effort. Spend 2 or 3 times as much and get something decent. - Things I liked:Not much to like, but it is cheap.
Things I would have changed:Make it out of metal, find a way to fix loose adjustment screws.
What others should know:This thing doesn't work very well on springers - I mounted it on a Browning 800 express springer pistol and can't get it to stay put. It is also cocked a bit when mounted (probably because of over-tightening) and looks bad. You get what you pay for in this case and this thing is pretty cheap! - Things I liked:I don`t like the materials. To much plastic
Things I would have changed:The adjusted for up and down / left and right
What others should know:It must be a better quality do not forget that is CROSMAN - Things I liked:nothing" This is one cheapo" Mine had would not work"
Things I would have changed:Every thing" The switch was bad" It was loose" I spent an hour fixing switch"It barely stays on"No sense in returning for exchange"It is that cheap"
What others should know:Don't expect this to help you shoot" It is junk" - Things I liked:I like that this thing gets the job done. I added this item to a Crosman 1322 Air Pistol and I must say it is accurate and helps you a lot when you fine tune it but...
Things I would have changed:The knobs are extremely loose which means you almost have to fine tune it every time you shoot if your pistol has some recoil and the Crosman 1322 surely has recoil. I had to get those knobs steady using duct tape which does not look good. With more firm knobs the item would be very good.
What others should know:Just be prepared to fine tune this red Dot Sight very often or fine tune it and use some crazy glue like I wind up doing. - Things I liked:Easy set up. Does the job putting me and shot on target. Adjustments good.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Ok by me. Kind of new to this. - Things I liked:It does work if you treat it with care. Worth the price.
Things I would have changed:Make the windage and elevation controls smoother. Right now, the windage especially, jumps and stops as you turn the knob. Requires lots of trial and error to get it on target. Also, PLEASE put locking screws on the controls. They move with a light touch even by accident.
What others should know:This sight is large for a pistol red-dot sight, is cheaply made but fair for the money. Not for serious use if you expect it to be pointing where you last left it. For plinking only. - Things I liked:There is really nothing I like about the Red Dot Sights. Made of cheap plastic. Every time I shot my rifle the dot would have to be reset. Its just another piece of junk sitting in my box of useless things that I purchased. BUT you get what you pay for.
Things I would have changed:Everything. Sights for a rifle should be made of metal, thats my feeling. Mostly because of the backlash of the rifle when fired.
What others should know:Dont buy. I know its a good price but like I said before , you get what you pay for. Spend a few dollars more and get a good one, and not made of plastic. - Things I liked:Work very well once you calibrate it to your gun. Easy!
- Things I liked:for the price--very good
Things I would have changed:at first i had it on backwards--all you see is your self auto off--always forget to turn off but battery last a long time
What others should know:dont forget to turn off - Things I liked:Inexpensive and looks good.
Things I would have changed:I have not been able to adjust for accuracy yet. Hits are all over the target, mostly high. Battery ran down and will need to find another one to continue sighting. Improve quality even if the price has to increase.
What others should know:Go for a better quality item, even if it costs more. - Things I liked:Has a nice big view screen
Things I would have changed:More accurate than shooting blindfolded. Unit tends to be rather hard to adjust and keep adjusted. I used electric tape to try and solve this.
What others should know:Fairly cheap. Might be good for airsoft but little else. - Things I liked:It was ready to go right out of the box, fit the Crosman 1377 with the adapter purchased separately.
Things I would have changed:The windage and height adjustments are just knobs, they do not lock into place but for the money, it's quite cool. The problem is they can change while carrying the gun to the range.
What others should know:I would make sure to test your pistol with the red dot, attached, before starting to shoot seriously in order to make sure the red dot is accurate. - Things I liked:it looked cool.
Things I would have changed:it didnt fit on my crossman gun.
What others should know:make shure it will fit on your gun. - Things I liked:It works fine.It fits all rail mounts
Things I would have changed:More acurate.
What others should know:The glass was broke when i got it out ouf the box. - Things I liked:Cheapest red dot sight on the market that looked useable. The red dot is adjustable left/right and up/down, and is clearly visible in most conditions. the included mounting system ensures a good fit on gun rails
What others should know:For 15$, this is a cheap and easy way to add a little flair and stop having to use included iron sights. As with all red dot sights, accuracy isn't going to be 100%, as there is only one "sight" in a red dot sight gun. But for quick sighting esp. in close quarters combat, you can't beat it - 123

Things I would have changed:Windage and elevation screws turn easily; make them more like micrometer sights where they click and sort of lock in place when you turn them. If you accidently touch the windage or elevation screws they can turn and you have to readjust them.
What others should know:I recommend getting the Crosman steel breech kit for mounting this sight.
