    Sounds like a pile of crap to me, I'd send it back!

    Are the Doctor holosights any good? I thought about getting
    one as I assumed quality was assured given the fisting my wallet would have taken!

    I suppose it all depend on what you are attaching it to and what level of recoil is envolved. What make are you buying ?

    Chris,
    They are a copy of a ZOS copy of a Haako Panorama and they are very good.
    I've been using one on my HW45, if you're coming to the meet then I'll have several you can look at,
    Regards,

    AirArms David also uses a ZOS copy of a hako and his seems to be very good too. The only reasons I went for the one I bought was that it was from an English supplier (JSR) and it was about the same price as the ones on Evil Bay. Obviously I was wrong

    I have a ZOS on my Brocock Aim-X

    It's OK but at arms length the red dot gets less sharp and more parallel error creeps in. I need to visually check the dot is in the centre of the lens and that the dot is on target before releasing a shot.
    I plink therefore I am

    Here's an aiming picture.

    Red dot is kind of on target but not centre of the sight screen from the camera's point of view.

    Superb, it even looks like an Alecto!

    I have a genuine Hakko Panorama Mk 3 on my LP10 and it's very good. I also have a Barska branded copy which is pretty good too. The only issue with the latter is the brightness of the ret. Even at max setting it can be tricky to see the dot, although the larger reticles are more visible.

    Thanks for that. Well, in that case the lens on mine is on the correct way round. :-)
