Crosman 0290 Red Dot Sight Reviews

I like everything it did it's purpose and is not expensive.

I would change the brightness of the dot.

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.

Easy to install and use.

Nothing.

If used on the steel breech assembly there is no need for additional mounts.

Nothing

The red dot is FAR too bright and "fuzzy", and it covers the entire bulls-eye at 10 yards. Unlike most other sights, the brightness cannot be adjusted. To make matters worse, the on/off switch stopped working.

My 2 Crosman pistols are fine guns. Why they put the Crosman name on this piece of junk is beyond me.

Easy installation, easy to sight in.

Red dot is too big and hides the bull's eye!

Inexpensive. Easy to install.

Location of the battery compartment.

You get what you pay for

Everything

Nothing

Good for the Bug out rifle incresases accuracy and makes it easier to shoot!

Great optics for this pistol.

A more positive and ridgid adjustment system.

I will tighten up adjustment screws with some rubber washers so it will hold adjustment when set.

It's in-expensive and works as long as you don't bump it.

Needs adjustable brightness only has on or off. It is not very sturdy and if you lay down the gun so that it 'rests' on the sight it will knock it out of alignment. The up/down adjustment is very touchy and loose.

You get what you pay for.

nothing at all. Very inaccurate. waste of time putting on the pistol

Price, mounts well, and for a cheaper pistol works very well

the up/down knob was very loose, but with screwing in the top Phillips screw it snugged up

This is a very inexpensive item, plastic. But with some fiddeling, it works. Also, there is but one size of RED DOT, which on small targets covers the whole target.
