It was too low to use comfortably for more than a few shots at a time. My only complaint and this was my fault, was the height of the sight. With the Venom, my groups at a hundred yards tightened up very quickly and were very consistent. Using a laser bore sight, I was quickly able to adjust the windage and elevation to superimpose on the boresight at a hundred yards. Small, compact, and a superior design to the cheapos, I was amazed at the superior coated lens and the first site I'd tried with a Dot that really was a Dot, not a fuzzy and imperfect dots that were anything but a dot. Once I opened it and mounted to my AR, the differences between the Venom and the cheaper optics I'd purchased.
VORTEX VENOM RED DOT 3 MOA VS 6 MOA FREE
The Venom arrived within a few days with Midway's frequent Free Shipping offers. I was fortunate that when I decided to take the plunge, Midway had the Venom on sale (saving me close to $40 off the usual price Midway sells it for), although I would have been content with their udually competitive price. After many discussions and a lot of research, and numerous product recommendations from owners, I decided upon the Vortex Venom 3MOA Red Dot. All of them had various flaws, that proved the old adage of "You get what you pay for," as every single one was poor for numerous reasons and all showed poor quality workmanship, design, and sub-standard components. None of these various sights were adequate or effective. Between 20, I spent nearly $500 on various Red Dot and Holo sights of dubious quality and manufacturer's economic sights (yes, you can read that as "cheap," I freely admit it).
