Crosman 0290 Red Dot Sight

Low cost, for a first time red dot user it's an entry sight that shows the pros and cons of red dots, but it looks and feels like a low cost sight, if you like it you will want something better.

A locking mechanism for the sighting knobs. Maybe a smaller dot for easier targeting a bullseye ring better at 10 meters.

On a 1377 it looks a bit big, perhaps on a rifle it looks better. But no big deal.

Not much. Never worked.

Flimsy battery contact, poorly made switch.

Never worked, useless even as a paperweight. Spend another $20 and get a real Red Dot sight.

WHAT IS NOT TO LIKE?

NOW DON'T NESS UP A GOOD THING .

GET ONE YOU'LL SEE FOR THE MONEY YOU CAN'T GO WRONG

Not bad ok for short distance shooting 10 -30 feet

not much

good for the price

It worked for one day.

They need to change the whole thing. Its absolute garbage. The soldering on the cable under the battery came off somehow after one day of use.

Unbelievably poor quality, stay the heck away from this.

Nothing

I would take it off the market

Completely junk.. I read the reviews before I purchased it.. bought it anyway.. my fault

I put this sight on a Crosman 2240XL. I think it is a good fit for that gun. It is a decent sight for the price point.

The "on" "off" switch is in a bad location and does not have a detent of any kind so it is very easy to accidentally turn it on when storing the gun. It should be a button or in a different spot where it wouldn't get bumped. The adjustment turrets do not "click" either so it is kind of a guessing game as to how much to turn each one to get it sighted in.

sight picture, quick to find target, easy to adjust

on off switch, adjustment knob should be more lockable, size of red dot to large. At 50 yards red dot is larger then 4" bulls eye so its to large to use for shooting long distance. 10 meter might be ok. Should work great on shot-gun type PCP pellet gun.

Mine has a shooting star tail on the lower left side of the red dot. However, you don't notice it at close ranges unless you are looking for it. Guess the target at close ranges seems larger makes the dot seem smaller then it is.

Dot is bright, cheap.

Overall quality is poor. Elevation knob turns too easy and has to be taped to stay put. Battery cover needs to be taped down too or it will easily pop off and be lost in the woods.

It would be more worth it to spend another $15-20 to get something that will last longer.

Quick sight picture. I was able to use front sight to adjust for elevation on my rifle.

Better adjustment turrets Better switch

This is a beginner 's model for the price . Mine broke after a week of use . I am not returning it because it gained sentimental value.
