About Vortex Optics Venom Red Dot Sights
Overall Feedback:
85% positive
79% liked the mounting compatibility, but 21% didn't
The screws that come with the Venom are too long and won't tighten all the way down. I'm not sure how they fit with other firearm brands.
When I mount the optic properly, the rear of the site almost hits the G45 dovetailed rear site, making it impossible to access the optics rear screws with the optic installed.
72% highlighted the field of view
I aligned the sight in both the elevation and windage directions using a boresight laser spot 10 yards away, with one caveat.
I mounted the sight on my shotgun and quickly lined it up to find the target without seeing the shroud around the lens.
67% appreciated the adjustment mechanism, while 33% disagreed
I managed to zero my sight by placing 3 thin plastic sheets between the sight and my gun to compensate for the lack of height adjustment.
The best feature of the gun-sight is that the battery can be easily changed without dismounting the optic as it is placed on top.
I have noticed that the elevation adjustment is nonfunctional and the site won't adjust the dot up and down.
