    Well I bought a RRA and Bushnell Holo. Holo issues

    I have been researching for awhile. I know not everyone is a fan of RRA but this is just a toy for me. Got the A4 with colapsable (spelling) stock. I put a flip up rear and purchased a Bushnell Holo. When I turn the holo on it is not a super sharp image, and seems to get less defined the lower I turn it down. Is this normal or is the circle and dot supose to be super sharp with no pixelation? Did I get a defective unit? Is there a focus? or..... do I just need to spend the extra 150 for the EO-tech to get the sharp image? Plan to go shoot next weekend and need to know if I should try to swap it out before I shoot it.

    Thanks

    That is normal. Its not going to be real sharp. It will be pixelated. Just the nature of the beast and its the same with the Eotech.

    Any chance you have astigmatism?

    The dot in the middle should still be pretty clear though, 1 moa.

    Okay, think I got it figured out. I am trying to focus on the graphic and then the target. If I look at the target first and then put the dot on the target, it appears to be way sharper...... Like I said It's new, it's my first and guess it will take trial and error, and a little help for the experiance on this forum......

    Thanks

    That would explain it... red dots (from what I've read) are designed for you to focus on the target (versus the front sight with irons)...

    It's not a halo, it's a HOLOsight. Halo is a video game.

    Yep, that would make more since, holographic sight, so I guess it would be HOLO. As time goes on I'll quit sounding like the rookie I am...........
