Predator V3 Compact Red Dot Sight

I can’t stop loving this setup between the quality to the appearance it is absolutely fantastic. Sturdy build quality and a well thought and tested design makes it a strong contender in the affordable red dot market and I would say the top of my list. Absolutely love this product

After some rigorous use for almost a year, I can honestly say this is currently my favorite optic. Period. Accurate, bright, tough, crisp sight picture, and easy to zero and holds it too. I, and everyone else I've let use this can safely say, this is a solid purchase. If you're still not convinced, please continue reading.Now, I've not used it on a plethora of different platforms and calibers. However, this thing has been on my PSA AR9 for about 9 months. I tend to take it to the range once every 2-4 weeks. Each trip, my buddies and I rattle off a a few hundred rounds with this particular optic alone. At that rate, we are at about 3-4 cases of 9mm in total for this specific firearm and optic. That is with both FMJ and JHP, both brass and steel, 115 grain as well as 124, precision shots plus mag dumps, mil-spec trigger and aftermarket alike.The first trip to the range with this, I zero'd for 25 yards, then 50, then 25 again just to test it out. Each zero was precise to the very center of the silhouette within an average of 3 shots per zero. Click adjustments are crisp and accurate to the displayed MOA scale. It has since stayed at 25 yards. Each subsequent trip back to the range has steadily made this optic my favorite to shoot with. Every time I pull this out in lane, I send the silhouette out to 25 yards, give her the ole' tap-rack-n-ready, then bullseye the center dot with the first shot every time. Then follow up with a mag dump or three. It's become a sort of ritual or tradition, if you will.The glass and sight picture is very clear, no fogginess or blurriness to speak of. The dot is always visible and crisp on any setting with none of that halo/ glow/ bloom affect most tend to find on budget optics. Its build is solid, with high quality materials, both on the optic itself and its accompanying risers plus protective cover. Battery consumption is very minimal, even on 11. The only things that could make this better would be an alternate solar panel, and auto off with wake on motion.The day I purchased this, I believe it had about 200 or less reviews. Mostly positive but I didn't look too deep into it. I paid $35 for it on an impulse purchase and buyers remorse almost immediately set in. Were the positive reviews fake? What if I just wasted 35 bucks? Eh, it was only 35, if it's trash, I probably won't miss it. What will I do if it only seems good at first but breaks quickly? Then what will customer service be like, if it even exists? What if Tacticon are a bunch of Tacti-CON ARTISTS?All of those negative thoughts faded away upon utilizing it. I can now whole-heartedly and honestly say, this has definitely been my best optic purchase to date. If I had known then what I know now, I'd gladly pay the current asking price of $50, likely more. My experience with this one product from Tacticon has convinced me to line up purchases of their other products for my other calibers of firearms. I could go on and on about this optic. The bottom line is this: get one.

Picked this up as it looked very similar to the Bushnell red Dot but for about 20-30 bucks less so I figured id take a gamble and see if it was any good.Once it showed up I was overly impressed by the just overall all feel and quality of its build. All the detents for the brightness dial, windage and elevation dials have a very positive and audible click to them which is super nice feeling and also allows you to know the tolerances are tight.I have it mounted on my SKS and having it come with the riser mount allows it to sit at the perfect height for my eyes and allows me to use the OEM front sight if needed. The 11 brightness settings is nice as you can really dial in what you need based on outside light and keeps it from being to bright for no reason and killing the battery.It also comes with rubber lens caps which keeps the glass protected which honestly due to the price I would have assumed wouldn't come with the sight so that was a nice feature.Only things I would like to see as improvements would be some laser etching by the windage and elevation dials to let you know what way to turn them when adjusting them when sighting it in for the first time. or maybe on the actual dials themselves, either or would be a good addition.Id also like to see two batteries come in the box with it instead of just one, batteries are cheap and a small thing like that would just make more happy customers .All in all, this is a great product and the seller seems to care about making sure you are taken care of once the sight arrives.

The first few pictures are the packaging. As you can see, the owner sent his hand written note thanking me for my purchase, the optic actually came in about 4 days early if you go buy the tracking info. It comes with comprehensive instructions, although you don’t really need them. It’s pretty cut and dry installation and operation. It’s in very nice packaging, so it would make a great gift or something. Everything was packaged secure. It comes with the optic, a regular mount as pictured on my build, and a 45 degree mount that is also of great quality.I tried to get my camera to focus better on the red dot and how it correlates with the flip up sights, but the picture I’m posting was the best my phone wanted to do. The actual red dot is super crisp, and bright, but not overbearing. It sits literally at the base of the front sight post on the pictured MBUS flip ups. The good thing is, you can both zero your irons with this optic still on, or if your optic fails, you can use the back ups without removing the red dot or compromising field of vision.The last picture is of the sight mounted on my build. For reference I’m using a 7” barrel 9” hand rail set up. It is light and balances perfectly with my build and where I have it positioned. At the time of this review I have put 300 +/- rounds of 5.56 FMJ’s down range, and it held zero and handles the shock like it doesn’t even exist.As I’m writing this; it is currently sold out, but I do plan on buying more of these specific optics, as well trying them on different builds. The type of reticle and the versatility would also make this a viable option for shotguns.It comes with a lifetime warranty as well.* If I don’t edit this review, assume that everything is still crisp and functioning as it should. I highly recommend this product and this seller.

Great little red dot sight for a great price. Tough and accurate. Good glass quality. This company has a lot of tactical gear for a very reasonable price.
