By Vincent from USA on 2008-06-11 09:25:28 Things I liked:Easy to mount, easy to use, pretty accurate and inexpensive too. Has 2 brightness settings (I always use the brightest).Things I would have changed:Other than making it tougher and more durable, nothing. What others should know:It FEELS light & cheap because frankly -------- it is! But more importantly it's simple and does what it's supposed to. |  |

By Chevota from USA on 2012-01-26 21:50:34 Things I liked:The price, at first that is because it isn't even worth 5 of the $10.Things I would have changed:Make the dot bright enough to see outdoors. Make it less ugly. Make it stronger. Basically you get what you pay for. What others should know:Skip it unless it's for an airsoft gun only to be shot indoors. |

- Things I liked:.... it has a dot. you get what you pay for
Things I would have changed:make it fit weaver rails
What others should know:doesn't fit standard airsoft rails. - Things I liked:The price, at first that is because it isn't even worth 5 of the $10.
Things I would have changed:Make the dot bright enough to see outdoors. Make it less ugly. Make it stronger. Basically you get what you pay for.
What others should know:Skip it unless it's for an airsoft gun only to be shot indoors. - Things I liked:It works very well with my Crosman 1377. The size was perfect. It kind of streamlined with the design of the gun and of course the price.
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:Remember to turn it off when not in use. - Things I liked:Works fine. A very simple gadget for simple rifle (Daisy 880). I can spit BB's threw a 1' hole at 20yds with it.
Things I would have changed:Brighter led, and a more accessable battery compartment.
What others should know:Be sure to allow access to the battery compartment when mounting unit. - Things I liked:Easy to attach (Crosman 357), bright dot, easy to zero, great price, perfect for plinking.
Things I would have changed:The dot can't be focused to accommodate far-sighted shooters, but that feature would probably triple the price.
What others should know:1. Be sure to turn off the sight after shooting is over for the day. 2. Buy extra batteries in case you forget to turn it off. They cost about $2. - Things I liked:zeros in nice at 5 feet
Things I would have changed:accuracy,,I had to go 5 feet from my target to get it halfway zeroed in on my .22 rifle went back to 10 feet and it was all over the place,it seems I need a second point of reference to aim but you cannot see the open sights through it and isnt a red dot suppose to only use the dot,,,,,,im sticking to tube red dots no more open ones for me
What others should know:shipping was fast ,,and I got what I payed for lol nice novelty - Things I liked:This came with a daisy gun so I own one. I like the fact it has two brightness levels and stays pretty much on target. The screen is a bit small which makes aquiring a target a bit tough.
Things I would have changed:Larger screen.
What others should know:I think I'd use something else if I need a sight. This one lives in a drawer now. - Things I liked:price
Things I would have changed:Better locking system for windage and eldevation screws. Sight loses zero after repeated use. Small amout of nail polish around screw heads solve the problem.
What others should know:use baby sock as dust cover for sight. - Things I liked:I lost under $10 on this mistake
Things I would have changed:make it work.
What others should know:Out of the box, it would not light when installed and turned on. It would work when the battery compartment was opened and pressure was applied to the battery. I folded a small piece of paper towel and placed it over the battery to try to provide that pressure when the cover was in place, but after two attempts at making the piece thicker, the parts inside the battery compartment broke. Had I not fiddled with it, I might have considered returning it for a refund, I'd not even consider a direct replacement, but after it was damaged, I didn't think postage would be free and it would likely up the cost of this lesson by at least 50%, so I'll use it as a target and get much more satisfaction from it that I did with it's intended purpose. Pyarmyd Air: Either don't carry this item or test each one to insure they will work when received. No doubt they won't survive a battery change, but at least your customers would get that much use out of them. Super Glue the battery compartment closed and advertise them as 'Throw Away". - Things I liked:The sight was pretty easy to site in, the adjusments needed were few. The price is great to, I like it out to about 40ft after that it's more miss than hit.
Things I would have changed:nothing really for the price you can replace easy enough
What others should know:The site is small so it may be a little hard to use on longer rifles I would stick to less than 40 inches. - Things I liked:simplicity of design and ease of setup. - I mounted 2 on a pair of SP-2 pistols and they made a great team.
Things I would have changed:On 1 of 3 ordered- the battery box hold down screw and battery broke off in shipment. The red dot (even with 2 settings is a little big.
What others should know:If your getting double dots- take off your glasses. Something about the reflective pane doesn't like glasses. - Things I liked:Small profile, lightweight, good variable eye relief, very economical, it does the job quite well.
Things I would have changed:The battery contact post inside the battery compartment is much too fragile and broke off when I opened the compartment in two of the three I've bought. I was as careful as I could be when opening the compartment but care didn't seem to make any difference. A simple, safe way to remove the cover would be nice.
What others should know:I fixed one of the two broken electrical contacts with super glue but the other one seems determined to stay broken regardless of attempts to glue it back in place. There is not much gluing area to work with and assuring electrical contact is tricky. - Things I liked:When set right seems to sight in well.
Things I would have changed:Stronger base for battery hold down set screw.
What others should know:Did not read directions for battery removal so don't know if i screwed up, but when removing battery by trying to slide it out the base for hold down set screw broke and this for two sights bought. So I would suggest to remove screw. Also may need locktight for the slight adjustment nuts it gets loose and sight wobbles.CommentsBy Ray from USA on 2011-06-04 0 
Don't feel like the Lone Ranger on the broken sights. I've bought three of them and two of them broke the center contact away from the base of the sight when I got the battery compartment open. - Things I liked:This device takes guns with mediocre sights and consequently poor accuracy and gives them a new life, making them fun to shoot and much more enjoyable for their owner. I really like the compactness and Pyramyd's price.
Things I would have changed:Nothing - Things I liked:About as good as you can get unless you spend upward of $30 for one. Easy to adjust and accurate for a pellet pistol (you only need to go out 30 feet or so). Probably would want something better if you have a rifle. I use it on a Crosman 1377.
Things I would have changed:marking for direction on adjusters.
What others should know:If you want a cheap useful sight for under 50 feet this one is great especially at $10. I have not had any problems but for the price I would replace it with another if I broke it. - Things I liked:Size and cost
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:It's very light and works exactly how it's supposed to. - Things I liked:Inexpensive and good enough for stopping rogue tin cans dead in their tracks.
Things I would have changed:Well, if Daisy is gonna keep this priced at around $10 or so they won't be able to make the changes I would like to see. But if I had my druthers, I'd like to see a smaller, sharper red dot and much improved windage and elevation adjustments.
What others should know:Two things, both of which have been mentioned by other reviewers. First, the red dot is honkin' big and will cover the entire bullseye of a standard target outside of a few yards. A soft drink can at 25 yards is pretty much obscured by it. My middle-aged eyes suck bad enough as it is - a smaller dot would do wonders for me. Second, the windage and elevation screws leave a lot to be desired in that you have to keep fiddling with tightening the TEENY little nut on each and then re-sighting until you get a zero. If you don't go through this, meaning if you don't go to the trouble of sighting and re-sighting in order to get the nuts good and tight, you won't hold a zero very long. Probably best to tighten them before sighting, then use a small wrench to hold the nut immobile when you turn the adjustment screw. Overall, for the price, it's pretty decent for just plinking around, but no serious shooter will want to give it a second glance. - Things I liked:Cheap
Things I would have changed:The screw and nut system for adjusting windage and elevation is really terrible. The red dot is large and not well defined and covers the entire bulls eye so don't expect pin point shooting.'
What others should know:Once you have sighted in you must tighten up the little nuts or else it will go out of wack after a few shots. The nuts are tiny and if you have a wrench of that size in your tool box you'll be lucky. The problem is that when you tighten the nuts you will be off target because the screw moves so you will have to re sight again. The trick is to hold the screw so that it doesn't move while you tighten the nut. You will need a vice or a friend to help you out for this to work.If you can afford something better go for it. I have one fitted to my Crosman 357 and am getting some fun out of it and will admit that its better for me because of my lousy eyesight. Not for serious shooters. - Things I liked:price is right ,easy to use sights quickly ,mounted to my phantom 1000 easily
Things I would have changed:red dot is far too large for small targeting ,covers entire target @20 yds ,had to go with old crossman red dot for accuracy - 12
