Product Description
Product Overview - MD-RBGII (810011)
The Classic Series proves that entry-level optics don’t have to be poor quality optics. Unlike some other brands, we don’t use the word “value” as a euphemism for “junk”. CLx scopes are perfect for the budget conscious and the new shooter. We take the time to 100% inspect every product in our facility here in Houston to ensure you are receiving the best quality product as our other three tiers.
This Primary Arms Microdot sight is our second-generation model that are affordable while retaining excellent quality and durability. We have included a MIL-STD-1913 picatinny rail mount with this red dot sight, so you can attach it to your rifle right out of the box in a matter of seconds and head to the range to get it sighted in. Alternatively, the mount is removable and features mounting options for other standard microdot riser mounts, so you can customize the height and co-witness with your iron sights. Adjusting the zero of the dot is made easy with the ½ MOA audible click adjustments that are protected by aluminum caps. Also included with this optic is a bikini lens cover to protect the glass when not in use. If you are in the market for a red dot sight for hunting, target shooting, or competition, you can’t go wrong with the Primary Arms Microdot.
This micro red dot sight features 1,000 hours of battery life on a single CR2032 battery with 11 different illumination settings that can be quickly cycled through for use at night or on a bright day. This red dot sight is even compatible with night vision equipment to further extend its range of uses. The 2 MOA red dot is extremely crisp and allows you to take quickly aimed shots at short range while still giving you the ability to make effective shots at medium ranges. The glass that the red dot is projected on is fully multi-coated to reduce reflection and provide a clear sight picture. The glass and electronic internals are covered by a durable, black hardcoat anodized, 6061 aluminum housing with O-rings providing protection from water and fog.

Reticle
2 MOA Dot
The angled front lens is designed so that the projected dot is always the same distance from the LED that is off to the side. This allows the red dot to stay on target as the user's head moves.
The reticle emitter is housed inside the tube of the sight at the 4:30 position. It is fastened to the tube using engineering grade adhesive that will be visible inside the tube. Use the both-eyes-open technique when looking through the optic to tube of everything but the target and red dot.
- Crisp 2 MOA red dot
- 11 Illumination settings for bright days and night vision compatible
- Approx. 1,000 hour battery life at medium setting

-----------------
These are my initial impressions... I will update once I've used it some. I got this to use on a .22 Marlin rifle to protect my chickens from predators. For comparison, I have an Aimpoint Pro on my self-defense rifle. The Aimpoint is built like a tank, has a battery life of years while left on and ready to go at all times, and I have absolute confidence in it. But it is heavier and costs 4X what this small sight does. For this particular usage on the .22, I didn't want to spend much and was willing to have to turn it on and off in exchange for low weight and a much cheaper price. So I thought I'd try the Primary Arms micro red dot.
Pros:
- Cost
- Dot looks fine on mine, crisp with no blur or comma or anything like some have experienced.
- I was concerned about emitter blocking view, and it does block a small amount, but is not really noticeable in actual usage.
- Seems well made and sturdy, except for brightness knob.
Cons:
- Brightness selector knob is plastic and doesn't give well-defined clicks. It works, but feels fragile and cheap.
- Brightness levels are not ideal. The first few are dim, as you'd expect, but then there's a big jump at the 3rd or 4th level to too bright. So the level I'm looking for under some lighting conditions isn't there. Not a huge problem, but it would have been nice if there was a more gradual increase in brightness of each click.
- You have to remember to turn it on and off to preserve battery rather than leave it on all the time, but you're also paying a lot less.
Yes, it would be nice to have 50,000 hours of battery life while leaving the dot on all the time like with the new model (and for a self-defense application I would require that). But this one is half the price and has a knob for adjusting brightness (instead of push-buttons which I'm leery of). For my particular application this one seems a good balance between price, quality, and capability.
This sight allows me to shoot with both eyes open, wearing street glasses, with my focus on the target. The resulting functional accuracy improvements are impressive.
For less than $100 this is a high quality sight that I would not be ashamed of. Easy to use, plenty of brightness settings (3 or 4 works fine for an indoor range), no eye relief issues, seems to be holding its zero well. Quality is better than its price point would suggest. Certainly not as small and unobtrusive as the current crop of RMRs, but a lot smaller than my 20 year old Aimpoints! Little things, like the rubber bikini cover and thread locking juice that's included, are a plus. For those using the included picatinny mount, be sure to remove the screws and put Loc-Tite on them before you mount it.
My only really minor disappointment thus far is that the control knob is not bi-directional - from the OFF (0) position, you cannot rotate it clockwise to go directly to the higher brightness settings.
Overall, I am quite pleased with this little beauty. Buy it - Buy it now.
the brightness adjustments have nice little clicks for each setting
it appears to have 3 settings for NV
it feels and functions like a quality product
the reason i dont like it? is there are better optics that do the same for less money.
the Bushnell TRS-25 does everything this sight does, and some things it does even better.
first i will say this, i cant tell a difference between this sights 2moa and Bushnell 3moa.
this sight boasts 1,000 hours of battery life, the Bushnell advertises 3x that
this sight costs more than the Bushnell and doesn't co-witness as well as the Bushnell.
for the price i payed for this sight, i could have gotten the TRS-25 and a medium riser, or the TRS-25 that comes with its own high riser.
because this sight has changeable plated like the aimpoint, its always gonna sit a little higher, unless you purchase a riser made for it to screw into.
im not trying to come off as a Bushnell fanboy here, i haven't ever tried their scopes and their barrel bore sighter sucked big time, i just constantly hunt deals, cause i'm not rich enough to buy the really nice optics that cost as much as guns lol.
my biggest problem is this....to me this red dot seems to have the same size dot as my TRS, it has similar build quality and boasts, it costs more, it has a shorter battery life, and it needs more expensive specialty risers to co-witness as well as the TRS.
I guess the NV option is cool, but if you have the money for NVG or a NV monocle, youre probably not going to break the bank buying an eotech or aimpoint.
its hard for me to personally recommend this sight over the TRS, considering that for the same price you'll spend on this, you can get the TRS, some extra batteries and a medium riser.
