Predator V3 Micro Red Dot Sight Review

The first thing that we will do is have a look at the basic features that you get and then we will go through each one in turn and explain the pros and cons.

Tacticon is a combat veteran owned company. They claim this is the sturdiest and most accurate red dot optic on Amazon with incredibly fast target acquisition thanks to the parallax free design. Incredibly easy to sight-in. Holds zero even after thousands of shots.

The V3 has 11 adjustable brightness settings. Whether you are shooting at dawn, dusk, night, or the middle of the day it has been engineered to allow for 11 different brightness levels with a 2 MOA red dot.

The red dot scope includes a .83-inch riser which was engineered to co-witness perfectly with iron sights. A 45-degree offset mount is also included. Tacticon brand iron sights work the best with this optic.

The sight is waterproof, fog-proof, and has reflective protection. Sealed with O-rings to prevent moisture or dust from getting inside and nitrogen purged to prevent fogging inside the glass optic. Reflection proof lens coating to effectively shoot in the sun.

Lifetime warranty and battery included. A no hassle 100% satisfaction guarantee with every sight. 1 lithium-ion battery is included.

Standout Features

As this is a V3 and we also reviewed the V2 of this gunsight we would highly recommend going for this one just because it is the latest and that means that it is more likely to improve on any problems that came with the second version. The truth is the V2 will give you a very good gunsight but if you are looking for the latest one, we highly recommend checking out the Predator V3 Micro Red Dot Sight.

Quality

Even though this is relatively cheap for a gunsight it is made with a high-quality aluminium alloy. The sight itself is waterproof and fog proof and they also claim that it will never take on water or fog up the lens when you are shooting. This is an absolute must have and even though the V2 of this gunsight included that feature we are sure that they have improved on it for this version.

You will want to make sure that you have a waterproof gunsight no matter where you are shooting and the fog proof feature as well as the antiglare will make it an absolute must have if you are using this outside. Whether you are shooting professionally, or you are just shooting targets it will definitely improve your shot.

The optic can also be adjusted to 11 unique brightness settings depending on what level of lighting you are shooting at, this means that it will not fog up, it is waterproof and you will also have the correct brightness no matter what time of day you are shooting.

Warranty

When you look at the price of the Predator V3 Micro Red Dot Sight it is fantastic to get a very good warranty. The red dot sight is fully refundable if you are not satisfied with it and they also offer a lifetime warranty on the sight, so you don’t need to worry about this breaking.

Flexible

This is also very flexible whether you are using this with a hunting rifle you will not have to worry about it not fitting. It is compatible with most gun makes including Winchester, Remington, Colt and they also claim that it will fit any rifle platform and will fit any Picatinny rail and Weaver rail sections.

Adjustable

This is also very easy to adjust as the elevation and windage are both easily accessible and allow you to zero the sight quickly.
