MOTION ACTIVATION PROBLEM

Hey, y’all. I have the Vector Frenzy. I love it. However motion activation doesn’t work. Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to shut it on or program motion activation some way?

Hi friend, some of our basic models do not have motion sensor function. To use the motion activation you need to leave the optic on and set it down and it will go to sleep after a while then reactivate when moved. It's going to be on if it's moving even only a little bit.


Does XASR-3010 maintain the zero setting of removing and mounting the scope on the rifle?

Vector Optics Frenzy Plus product could be a problem for fast acquisition and also a problem for night vision use. What do you think ?

Hello, I have a question about the new Vector Optics Frenzy Plus product. I really like the design and the fact that it's a closed red dot but there is one thing that bothers me. I practice airsoft mainly in CQB. This red dot has very thick edges and I think it could be a problem for fast acquisition and also a problem for night vision use. What do you think ?

Hi friend, the Frenzy Plus red dot can work on airsoft guns, but its better to use it for real guns as its designed for real firearms. The thick edges are for harsh shooting environment.

Difference between Vector Optics Continental 5-30x56 34mm FFP and Luneta Vector Optics Taurus 5-30x56 FFP

Hi, I would like to ask if there is really a huge difference between Vector Optics Continental 5-30x56 34mm FFP and Luneta Vector Optics Taurus 5-30x56 FFP?

There is already an immense leap in quality, the biggest difference is the glass quality and the tube of the Continental is 34mm, the taurus is only 30mm, so you have more light transmission.

How come the reflex sight does not hold a group of hits?

ØThe reflex sight does not hold a group of hits at the first time shooting

Please examine the factors below:

lBe sure that all screws on the rifle’s action are properly tightened.

lBe sure the rifle barrel and action are clean and free of excessive oil or copper fouling.

lMaintain a good shooting technique and use a solid rest.

lSome rifles and ammunition don’t work well together—try different ammunition and see if accuracy improves.

lBe careful, the reflex sight may be with a “parallax issue” if not adjusted well.

 

ØThe reflex sight does not hold a group of hits after using for a while

Please check:

lYour rifle and caliber (whether the rifles caliber is too large and the rifle has too much recoil )

lYour shooting distance (whether the shooting distance is too far away from the set hit point)

 

P.S. whether its at first-time shooting or not, you should always check the point of impact’s spread deviation, and make adjustments accordingly.

 

Please check the upper factors and make some adjustments, if the reflex sight still cant hold a group of hits, please contact service@vectoroptics.com for support.


Is the new solar power red dot sight absolute co-witness or lower 1/3 co-witness?

Scrapper solar power red dot sights include two models: SCRD-SM45 and SCRD-SM46. SCRD-SM45 is lower 1/3 co-witness, which means that the red dot is over the iron sight; SCRD-SM46 is absolute co-witness, which means that the red dot coincides with the iron sight. (Please check the picture below for reference)

For maverick gen3 model or scrapper model. Can I use these reddots two eyes open? Are they true 1x?

Yes, both red dots for two eyes open, they are non-magnification sights, and scrapper with bigger lens and it is free parallax in high quality level.


2.Could the vector optics mavarick gen III stands the recoil of a 12 guage shotgun?

Hi friend, yes our Maverick series can stand the recoil of a 12 gauage shotgun


Do you happen to know if the Maverick has the same footprint as the T1-style red-dot?

Hi friend, yes our Maverick red dot can be used on the mount model


Does SCRD-D26 have motion sensor? Will it automatically shut off and turn on when I move the gun?

Hi friend, this model does have motion sensor, 30 min OFF if without any operation, any slight movement will light up immediately.


Pros and cons of absolute co-witness and lower 1/3 co-witness

Using Absolute co-witness, the red dot is always aligned with iron sight so you can react faster and more accurate when the target appears in your field of view, but the iron sight will block part of the field of view; Using Lower 1/3 co-witness can provide wider field of view and less interference ,but you need to change the line of sight when you need both red dot sight and iron sight. 

Absolute co-witness

Lower 1/3 co-witness

Pros:

² Shooters can react faster

² More accurate

Cons:

² the iron sight will block part of the field of view

Pros:

² Wider field of view

² Less interference

Cons

² you need to change the line of sight to coincide the red dot with the iron sight

lTry with the camera to catch the real visual representation

1. Put the red dot in front of the Box in a close distance

2. Camera focus on the “Lens”

3. Camera focus on the “Box”

(Please check picture “B” for reference)

Also,there are many issues that can cause poor bullet grouping.

 Be sure that all screws on rifle’s action are

properly tightened.

 Be sure rifle barrel and action are clean and free of

excessive oil or copper fouling.

 Maintain a good shooting technique and use a solid rest.

 Some rifles and ammunition don’t work well together—

Hi, does SCRD-D26 have motion sensor? Will it automatically shut off and turn on when I move the gun?

Hi friend, this model does have motion sensor, 30 min OFF if without any operation, any slight movement will light up immediately.


For what purpose people are putting this on the scope? For driven hunt?

上传000.png

The fact of having the red dot on the scope, in my case of high magnification (x5-30), is to make it easier to be able to shoot a hunting animal if it comes very close to me. It is true that I have to raise my face a little, but I have the reference of where to rest it. So for close and fast shots, it does the job.

There are also other mounts that attach it directly to the tube, and it is not as high as in the picture.


Which red dot is easier to put on and take off for Springfield XD-M Elite OSP Tactical 5.25

it's always 2 screws I guess? SCRD-40
