Vortex Venom Red Dot Top Load 3 MOA Dot by Vortex

Product Information

In both cases, the dot could wash out as the light sensor sees a low level of light and adjust the brightness down. It is a good idea, but getting it perfect in all situations is tough. Another nice feature is the device shuts off after fourteen hours when in auto mode. Alternatively, you can set the brightness manually. One thing to note is that the Vortex Red Dot Sight is “parallax-free.” Both the Burris Fastfire 3 and Vortex Venom are excellent red dot sights that offer a 3 MOA dot reticle and are durable enough to withstand heavy recoil. The Vortex Venom has a longer battery life than the Burris Fastfire 3, but it is also slightly more expensive. The Burris Fastfire 3 is smaller and more compact than the Venom, but it does have a shorter battery life. Ultimately, the decision between these two sights comes down to personal preference. Conclusion However, there have been complaints of the dot not actually being a dot! Rather, the “dots” would actually be thin bright lines.

XD Lens elements - extra-low dispersion (XD) glass increases resolution and colour fidelity, resulting in crisp, sharp images. The Burris Fastfire 3 is smaller and more compact, while the Vortex Venom is slightly larger but still maintains a lightweight design. Battery Life It has many basic features for a red dot sight, such as unlimited eye relief, windage/elevation adjustment dial, and a wide field of view.Viper: The unlimited eye relief offered by the vortex viper may or may not be beneficial, depending on the circumstances. I concluded that I kept reaching for the high-rise mount because of this optic’s low-profile design (which is perfect for cut-out slides and handguns). Its eye relief depends on the mount being used, but it can also be flexible based on the user’s preferences. The optics dot is available in two different sizes, a 3MOAvariant, and a 6MOAvariant. MOAstands for MinutesOf Angle which is how big the dot will look at 100 yards, 3 covering 3 minutes of angle at 100yards, and 6 minutes of angle at 100 yards. The smaller dot is more suited for outdoors and ranged shooting, with the 6MOAversion designed for more closer range shooting up to 100 yards. ArmorTek: Ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating protects exterior lenses from scratches, oil and dirt. The Vortex Venom is a slightly larger sight than the Burris Fastfire 3, but it still maintains a lightweight design. It has a 3 MOA dot reticle that is easy to acquire and is perfect for precision shooting. The Venom also has a longer battery life than the Fastfire 3. However, it is slightly more expensive than the Burris Fastfire 3. Burris Fastfire 3 Vs Vortex Venom: What’s the Difference? The optic is also fully adjustable, in addition to the brightness settings the windage and elevation can also be finely tuned, with 130 MOA max elevation adjustment, and 100 degrees ofMOA windage adjustment, the optic can be adjusted to be used on a wide variety of rifles, pistols and more for a wide range of distances.

First Focal Plane Reticle Scale of reticle remains in proportion to the zoomed image. Constant subtensions allow accurate holdover and ranging at all magnifications. One of the factor to discard Vortex Viper is its battery compartment design. Viper’s battery compartment is located at the base and you have to unmount the red dot to change batteries. Thus you may have the hassle of re-zeroing every time your battery runs out. It’s O-ring sealed, making it waterproof and fogproof. It even has an ArmorTek coating to protect the lens. Not only that, but it’s super easy to change out with its top-load system. I didn’t even have to take it off my pistol to replace battery loads. Elevation & Windage Knobs You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information in the following ways:

If I were to compare it to red dot from another company like Burris’ Fastfire 3, it also offers similar features. Venom: Generally speaking, the Viper and Venom are better suited for pistols and rifles, respectively, because the two kinds of weapons are typically used at different ranges. The Venom might be a good choice if you shoot highly competitively with a handgun and are shooting from 50 yards and beyond. While this isn’t much of an issue for me in terms of quality, the Vortex Venom red dot sight isn’t the best choice if you want to support the local economy. Red dots on your shotgun provides you with fast target acquisition and a wide field of view to assist you in your hunts. Does the Vortex Venom Red Dot Sight Have an Auto Shut Off?

ArmorTek ® Ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating protects exterior lenses from scratches, oil and dirt. XD Lens Elements: Extra-low dispersion (XD) glass increases resolution and color fidelity, resulting in crisp, sharp images. However, this isn’t recommended for those looking for high-performance red dot sights, especially if you want a single shot group when shooting. Tactical-Style Turrets: Exposed turrets provide fast, accurate and easily read elevation and windage adjustments. It also has an auto-dot intensity feature that’ll control dot intensity for you based on the surrounding light conditions using an ambient light sensor. Eye Relief & Eye Box

It only took me five to ten minutes max to get the Venom red dot sight 3 MOA reticle zeroed. I didn’t have any issues at all during the process.
