Sports reviews of Leapers Golden Image 30mm Red/Green Dot Sight, Integral Weaver Mount
Customer Review: Leapers does it yet again
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this red dot sight, largely on the strength of the reviews and upon my long and positive experience with using Leapers/Centerpoint scopes on spring piston air rifles, which are (believe it or not) the most abusive type of gun to scopes due to the severe whiplash recoil from the piston slamming forward.
Unlike many of the reviewers here and elsewhere, the intended purpose for this was not for airsoft or paintball, and instead of mounting it on a rifle or shotgun, I mounted it on my very heavy recoiling Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt revolver with my heavy handloads rated safe only in the Ruger revolvers or the Thompson/Center Contender pistol.
This sight has a stout integral mounting clamp with two strong screws, only one of which (the front one) engages the forward recoil slot in the Weaver mount, which makes it trouble free to mount on any Weaver mount rail.
I mounted it on this excellent no-gunsmithing Weaver rail mount - Weaver 301 1 Piece Base Gloss Rug BlkHwk, then sighted it in for 25 yards.
I discovered during sighting in that the click adjustments are 1/2 MOA @ 100 yards.
Just a note to anyone sighting this in for the first time is that you rotate the windage/elevation turrets the direction in which you intend your projectile to go.
In other words, if you are shooting two inches high and one inch left, you will need to turn the elevation turret four clicks down and the windage turret two clicks right if you are shooting at 100 yards, or 16 clicks down and eight clicks right if you are shooting at 25 yards.
Once I had it sighted in, I was easily able to get 1" groups at 25 yards with my Barnes XPB full power hunting loads.
I was impressed with how the Weaver mounting rail, the integral mounting clamp on this sight, and the sight itself all held up flawlessly to the extreme punishment from my Blackhawk, with over thirty rounds fired in one session.
Some details about the sight:
It is constructed of rugged aircraft aluminum and comes with nice flip-up spring loaded lens caps.
It takes a CR2032 lithium battery to power the dot, and the box contains two of them, and this battery is widely available, plus operates in extreme cold well below zero fahrenheit.
The dot color is selectable between red and green, each with five levels of brightness.
As described in the instructions, the red is best for shooting in brightly lit environments, while the green is best for low light, and my own tests support that.
I found that it is best to use the lowest level of illumination necessary to ease sighting precision.
The box also contains a specialized lens cleaning cloth, which I would strongly recommend be the only thing that comes in contact with the lenses to prevent scratching.
I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the instructions were written in proper English instead of poorly translated "Chinglish," as is so often the case with other products.
This sight does not magnify at all, which may annoy some people, but the reason for that is to allow unlimited eye relief, provides the widest field of view possible, and minimizes parallax aiming errors.
I am very impressed that this reasonably priced red dot sight held up perfectly to severe recoil, and it has significantly improved my accuracy and rapidity of aiming over the stock iron sights with my Blackhawk.
Highly recommended.
