How many rounds to the end of a cheap red dot?

Postby Shipyard on Tue Mar 02, 2010 4:48 pm

Mister Owl - how many rounds does it take to put an end to a cheap red dot scope?

Well - Let's find out!

One....

Two....

Three...

CRUNCH!

Three.


So - i've had a cheap truglo red dot sitting here forever with no use so i decided for fun to see how many rounds out of the 44 mag it could handle before the end. as you can tell from my incredibly clever toosie pop parody above, it wasn't long until the results you see below.

ha ha ha! sometimes i have fun (man am i bored today...)

I love it! Thanks for sharing.
May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?

you know, If you were shooting at it, it wouldn't have lasted nearly as long as it did :D

Doesn't it have a lifetime warranty?

[resurrect] Are you sure you didn't just mistake it for a chrony and shoot it? [/resurrect]

So, the glass is broken. Is the dot still zeroed?

I guess you never know.... I had (still have) a cheap NCStar 2-7X scope that survived a 44 Desert Eagle and a 308 Lone Eagle pistol.
