A great optic but with vision issues you may not be able to use all the features the reticle offers. On the plus side, the large red horseshoe makes a great red dot for close range shooting. Consider an LVPO with a FFP as a possible option. Adding a magnifier to your rifle is also a possible solution to vision issues with this optic.
@@WoodsDog I got a 503G on the 4th of July and took it out today for the first time. I test fired it at 50 yards and it printed a foot low and a foot right. More to the point, the horseshoe worked fine. My vision is such that I couldn’t use the rest of the reticle. I had not focused the optic for my vision. I have a 3X magnifier and hope it will be an improvement. Then I fired another rifle with a 1X10 LVPO. It is larger and heavier but seems well suited to folks needing visual correction. I fired a 3 round group, 2 were touching, the third an inch and a quarter out. Not bad considering I shot from a truck window. Red dots and vision issues just don’t seem to work together.
@@WoodsDog1) couldn't tell too well with the video, there was a weird angle used 2) I'm trying to see what it would look like with a lower 1/3 and front sights up, could you please make an updated video with lower 1/3 instead? Or at least show me a video with a lower 1/3 cowitness shown?

LVPO's are awesome. I love how they don't need batteries to work and once you train enough they're fast to aim with.

I'd like to see a review with a magnifier on this. Have you tried one?
I haven't. Someone I know might borrow me one with a magnifier in the future but don't know when yet.
Definitely try a magnifier, with your astigmatism the fuzzy reticle should come into sharp focus like a prism scope!
@@WoodsDog the mount in this video, is it absolute cowitness or lower 1/3?
@@TheGunNerd absolute co-witness. They also sell a spacer to make it lower third. It's called "510C spacer."
