Has anyone got an opinion on this red dot? Kinda interesting, but I know next to zero about them..

Supposed to be quality - US made sight by Vortex, apparently to take some market share from Eotech with a similar form factor and reticle.

I've seen one in person at SHOT, it was nice but it's big - not especially heavy mind you, but long.

Personally for the $ I'd just get another Aimpoint Pro. I know that is a boring choice but they just work IMO.

I’ve only used an MRO personally, but due to astigmatism and bad eye sight... something about the holographic image helps me see better. I’ve never considered Eotech after their debacle, but I much prefer that type of sight picture over just a dot.

“new paradigm in Holographic Weapon Sights. The UH-1™ uses our revolutionary Fusion Hologram with Quantum Well Light Control”

I know nothing more about the sight than that, but what more could I possibly need to know?

The true decision-makers at some of these companies should really sit down and read what their advertising departments are putting out.

I've played with several examples of this sight, and I liked it a lot.
After all is said and done it is the only other true holographic (not reflex) sight on the market other than Eotech.
Showing my age here, but I'm still running 2 of the original 400 series Bushnell Holosights with build dates of 1998 on them, but when one of them dies (if that ever happens!) I'll replace it with a UH1.

My LGS is a stocking Vortex dealer. I looked through one last weekend. I liked it a lot.

Interesting, thanks for the replies. I have yet to see one in person.
