Page 4 - Crosman 0290 Red Dot Sight Reviews

Nothing this site was not even usable, I don't know if I got bad one or what.

I don't really know because I never got it sighted, the lazer was off to the right and I couldn't bring it to the center at all. The max turns still left it right about5 inches. I tried it both on a pistol and a rifle no luck

If you buy one keep the package and receipt because if it's like the one I got you will want to return it and get the $10 site it works well.

Cheap and works fine.

Do not buy this sight. The battery holder is an especially poor design. Have to unmount to change the battery. The small wires break in no time. Price is very cheap, but you'll get what you paid for.

Price

On the sight that I recieved, the elevation adjustment did not allow the gun to be sighted in. It was maxed out and still shot low. Also the optics are frosting not allowing a clear sight of the target.

Upgrade to a BSA Red Dot Scope if mounting is compatable.

Not much. This came in a package deal. Bought the Crosman 357W pistol. The dot is way off center, too far to the right. Mounted on the pistol it would miss the target by 2 or 3 feet shooting from approximately 28 feet away. This is with the adjustments completely used up.

Crosman needs to do a better job inspecting their products before sale. Reading other reviews, I'm not the only one that has had a problem with this item.

To be honest, nothing.

This thing is just cheap. Sight picture is vague, battery placement inconvenient and it's plastic. I bought it for a 12 year old neighbor and it's still on my workbench. Not worth the cost of sending back. Sorry.

I ordered off the internet and should have ordered by phone and asked about the sight,

Easy to set up. Clear windage and elevation settings. Easy battery install. large on off switch.

Auto off if left on.

This is an all plastic unit for a great price.

Mounted up real nice on my Steel Storm and dialed in quickly. Every shot is on target.

On/Off switch came loose from the housing. A spot of glue did the trick.

its easy to put on

everything its a cheesy peice of crap that i wasted my money on

not to buy this

small dot

this thing is a piece of crap cheap won't stay adjusted thumb adjusting screws so loose vibration from every shot throws the sight off (unless you use duck tape) or glue after its sighted and prat it don't move anymore.

stay away from cheap crap like this and get a good $60.00 dot sight

MOUNTING WAS EASY

THE CAP THAT COVERS THE BATTERY IS TOO CHEAP .IT'S JUST A DUST COVER .IT WILL BE LOST BY JUST POPPING OFF! THE SIGHTING ADJUSTMENT WILL ACCIDENTLY CHANGE JUST BY BRUSHING AGAINST THE KNOBS.THEY SHOULD LOCK IN PLACE. THEY SHOULD LOCK IN PLACE

IF YOU WANT THIS FOR IN HOME SHOOTING IT'S OK . BUT I WOULDN'T TAKE IT IN THE FIELD.

nothing

make a product that works

don't buy one, it fell apart within one week

Price

I would make it so it could be used as a sight

This thing DOES NOT hold a zero, take it out of the package and shake it, it flops around like a limp sail in a windstorm, there is no lockdown and the threads on the adjusting screws are so sloppy there isn't even a semblance of accuracy from shot to shot, unless you're shooting the proverbial side of a barn. Junk, junk, junk. A $15 dollar red dot sight really IS too good to be true.

Price, it's cheap.

Quality Control I had to solder on one of the battery leads when mine arrived. No way this was working when it left the factory!

You get what you pay for with this sight. It works, that's about all I can say.

Price- cheap

Make the red lite mount with the glass on it stable. mine wabbles a bit.

I know you get what you pay for but just tighten up the glass mount.

Purchased this for my Crossman 1377 Pistol and it works beautifully. It has turned that pistol into quite the accurate performer now (I now prefer taking it out over my air rifles for backyard plinking). HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The adjustment knobs are (as others have already pointed out) exposed and easily accidentally bumped (taking the sight out of alignment). The battery compartment is mounted below and can be awkward when changing the battery.

the dot is clear.

make it adjustable with a screwdriver or hex key, the large knobs are too bulky and easily bumped. The dot (or rather the frame holding the mirror) is not stable. When adjusting the knob for the horizontal the mirror will shift in the direction you are turning the knob (vertically). It doesn't stay on target and needs constant tweaking.

scrape together a few dollars and get a better model.

The price seemed right but you get what you pay for. This does work ok but, I opted for a better one.

Brighter dot, harder for older eyes to see that dot in bright sunlight. The adjustment knobs can accidentally be moved and the battery cover comes off easily.

I did not like much about this item and prefer not to use it.

The sight does not project a beam on to the target, it just has a red glow in the sight recticle and the red dot is blurred.

The price. That is the only thing I liked.

The red dot is somewhat unclear. It is isn't really round. You can see almost two dots on top of each other. Overall even though the sight is inexpensive (the most inexpensive on the market) it is cheaply built even for it's price range. If this had been selling for it's intended price it definitely would not be worth the price.

The windage adjustment is loose and has to be fixed to be usable. I had to dismantle the sight and put a shim on the screw. Otherwise the sight could be wiggled left to right almost 1 mm. There shouldn't be any play in a gunsight even a cheap one. It doesn't fit on any of the crosman top loading single shot CO2 air pistols. The sight blocks access to the bolt.
