Me and nomenclature are not friends... yes un-staked. I just want it to stretch a little before I tighten it down again and then do the staking. If I shot it more I would have made that a priority.

After shooting a steel challenge match today I decided to stop by the pasture to confirm zero on with a red dot mounted on one of my truck rifles from a manufacturer discussed in this thread (the low cost one), and it was dead. I had iron sights so the trip wasn't wasted. After getting it home it appears to be a connection issue and is working again for now. Imo backups are a must on any rifle if it is to be used for defense, however its a free world do what you want.
So you pulled out your truck gun and the red dot was dead. Sounds like you should check your truck gun more often...as well as think about upgrading to a better red dot.

We could do with a lot less snark in this thread. Starting to feel like I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque and ended up in a purse fight on TOS.

We could do with a lot less anecdotal evidence offered as circular proof that all red dot sights are unreliable and prone to failure.
I check it every time it comes out of the safe and goes to the truck, it died during the drive. Things can happen that fast. Its from the same company that might just change your mind about $150 rds. Don't hate just giving you a counter point, of an Instance that happened to me.

Yeah this is why I don't put much stock in any one singular review. A sample size of one is no sample at all.
It's hard to get a truly signifgant sample size to determine if optic x is actually more reliable than optic y .... Sampling many reviews can help but that becomes much more anecdotal than actual hard data, as not everyone does the same testing. I'm sure the manufacturer has the hard data nessecarry, but they are unlikely to share raw data.

I'm not really sure where you're getting this stuff. Nobody said all red dots are unreliable and prone to failure. Aimpoint and a few other manufacturers have a proven track record. Chicom stuff has a tendency to malf. That's why it cost less. Cheap parts, cheap labor, lax QC.
He has the same brand red dot you have apparently.
I'm confused. Isn't it anecdotal evidence when you say that your $150 is as reliable as an Aimpoint?
"If force can take away liberty, force is necessary to preserve it. It is the hatred of violence alongside the willingness to use violence that preserves liberty. In order for us to live as free men, we have to hate the violence that takes away liberty, yet at the same time, we must embrace the violence that preserves it. That is the paradox our founders appreciated and made work for over 200 years."
