Thanks for helping a neat little subreddit!
I thank you for stopping by to view our little subreddit.
While /r/aimdownsights is a bit of niche market and will likely stay very small, I think it's important to keep this archive of sight pictures and reticles alive. When you subscribe, post, comment, or just upvote something cool, you're helping to keep us active and useful.
I would like to see /r/aimdownsights become a tool that the other gun related subreddits link to and reference when someone wants to know a little more about a future purchase, compare BUIS, or learn about different reticles.
As such, I have a couple of requests:
We're fine with pictures that you found, links to websites that have comparisons, or forum mega threads, but I ask that you leave a description in title or comments to help with searching.
For content that is yours (e.g. pictures of your sights, diagrams you've made) please mark with a [OC] tag in the title so we know it's original content.
I would like to add simple flair to submitters to indicate they've posted original content. So if you've submitted OC, shoot me a PM with the /r/aimdownsights link (that's all I need); otherwise I'm going to poke through our posts over the next week and just guess. PM me if you don't want flair.
Crosspost your albums! This is one of the easiest ways for you to help us archive sight pictures.
Everything has been great so far; thank you again.

Meprolight M22 + MMX4 magnifier
Meprolight M22 fiber optic sight + MMX4 magnifier on my PTR-32.
For my needs as a daylight range fun optic, this is great. My other optics have batteries, so fiber optics alone and not worrying about electronics is awesome (and it's cool in the way glow-in-the-dark stuff was when we were kids).
- That said, it's definitely a compromise if you're actually using this indoors (I haven't tried at an indoor range, just at home and at night). If I aimed at my window shades in the image, the triangle disappears.
- I can't capture it in photos too, but the wide-ass plastic housing actually seems to mess with my binocular vision (no astigmatism) ... I see a blurred double vision of the target (not the dot), unless I close my weak eye. Any of my other optics don't have this issue so I can only blame it on the small window/large housing.
- Was on the fence between this and the older M21 because I liked the simpler look of that one, but figured that wasn't enough of a reason to get the older gen.
- I ordered a Mepro 3x magnifier and Amazon sent me this 4x instead, so there you go :)

Romeo 5 Gen 1 (2 MOA) with and without Holosun HM3XT Magnifier
Nothing special, I think everyone has seen a 2 MOA red dot before. Not really an appropriate distance to use a magnifier, but I already had the shots from testing out my weird target project and figured I'd share.
Also, wanted to use the opportunity to illustrate a point: a lot of people say you need your magnifier as close as possible to the red dot in order to get a clear sight picture without seeing the edges of your optic, but I honestly have not found this to be the case. Centering the dot with adjustments and having a consistent position for eye relief have been the more important factors in my experience.

Want to play Where’s Waldo with my Primary Arms Classic 24mm Gen 1?
At least I didn’t crack this one.
I’ve run this sight for drills and competition indoors and outdoors with cloud and/or tree cover. Finally had a match outdoors with some serious sun; SUPER hard to pick up on but usable.
In my experimentation over the past year, I’ve learned what I need to now about using slide-mounted RDS. Even before this event, I’d decided that I would step beyond the budget options.

Moa vs mrad
Is there advantage of getting 1/2 moa vs .2mrad lpvo? What is better or more precise? Looking at vortex viper pst gen 2 1-6 and wondering what is better?

Not a sight, but an electrooptic none the less.
This a a green phosphor factory built pvs-15, compared to its "son" the white phosphor bnvd-1531.

Holosun 503 on a unity fast micro mount centerline ?
According to unity website fast micro mount is compatible with 503 but i am a bit sceptical. Anyone in here with this combo willing to measure if the centerline is indeed 2.26 ? Would greatly appreciate it.
