Red dot sights offer fast, intuitive targeting thanks to their parallax-free optical design. There's no need to perfectly align your eye or adjust eye relief - simply look through the sight and place the dot on your target. This speed and convenience makes red dots extremely popular for rapid shooting when targets appear. But with so many brands like Vortex, Leupold, Nightforce, Nkon, Burris, AimPoint and Bushnell and models on the market, people may have such question: which one should I choose? Don't worry, Pinty will give you the answer right away - Pinty 1×20 Red Dot Sight.

1. Unboxing the product
- 1 red dot sight
- A 0.83 in riser mount, so that the optic can get absolute co-witness together with iron sights.
- 1 battery (CR2032)
- 2 lens caps, help the lens to prevent dust and scratches when not in use, prolong the service life of the scope
- 1 double-slotted screw and 1 hex wrench, making air resistance and height adjustment and battery replacement a breeze
- 1 cleaning cloth
- 1 instruction manual
2. Product design and parameters
2.1 Design
- Fully enclosed design for waterproof, fogproof, and anti-condensation protection. This will be demonstrated through testing later.
- Constructed from durable, lightweight aluminum with a black anodized finish, this sight is built to withstand the rigors of field use.
- Multi-layer coatings are applied to the objective and eyepiece lenses, providing scratch resistance to the optics.
2.2 Parameters
- Fixed 1x magnification, meaning no zoom capability. Here we want to correct a misunderstanding: for rifle scope and red dot sight, it is not that the higher the magnification, the better as it can make finding close-distant targets more difficult. With red dots primarily used at close-to-medium ranges, the non-magnified 1x power provides ample accuracy for most applications.
- 11 brightness levels, allowing the user to increase dot intensity when needed to maintain visibility under adverse or dark environments.
- 4.5 MOA red dot reticle. MOA stands for minutes of angle, an angular measurement representing a 1-inch circle at 100 yards. The MOA dot size correlates to the area your bullet can land when aimed at a target. For example, a 3 MOA dot appears as a 3-inch circle at 100 yards.Some may think the 4.5 MOA dot seems less precise than 1-2 MOA models. However, larger MOA dots have benefits, especially for shorter range use. The bigger dot is more visible and easier to locate quickly during defensive or fast-action situations. Larger MOA also aids acquisition in bad weather. Most quality sights today are 3-6 MOA. At 4.5 MOA, this Pinty dot combines the strengths of visibility and precision for versatile performance.
- Featuring a standard 20mm mount, the Pinty 1x20 is compatible with Picatinny or Weaver rails to fit all types of firearms.
- Dimensions of 2.7 x 1.6 x 1.9 inches and weighing only 149 grams, the Pinty 1x20 maintains a lightweight, low-profile footprint to minimize added bulk when in the field.
