works very good and cost 3 to 4 times less than the big name red dots
this is the ade rd3-012 red dot sight. I am using it on a 12 gauge shot gun. I installed a rail on the gun to mount the red dot on, mount comes already on the red dot. It sighted in easily and precise. I have to wear glasses to see up close, out to about 4 ft. but for some reason that i don't know i see this red dot perfect and sharp without the glasses. I don't know if it will be that way for anybody else but for me it was amazing. I've shot slugs, buckshot and number 4 rabbit loads so far [ 36 rounds total ] and the sight has handled it. I don't know how long a battery will last yet but you have to remember to turn it off when your done it does not shut it's self off. I can't say if it will hold up long term but it looks well made and is aluminum not plastic and i am going to buy another one for my lever action 3030.

Red dot optic
Worth the price works great

ADE optic well woth the price
This is a great optic. I mounted the RD3-012 on my Ruger Mark IV 22/45 without issue. I used the Ruger factory picatinny rail and all fit well. Zeroing in was easy as the sight was close out of the box. I had to go up 1 inch and left 2 inches to get zero. I zeroed in at 30 feet. Once I locked in the dot the unit held zero just fine. Product is well made. I would highly recommend this optic.

Inexpensive but not cheap
Buying the ADE RD3-012 Red Dot was ano brainer. Mounted on my Taurus G3C T.O.R.O, is exactly what I needed and completed my EDC pistol. You hear stories of people spending up to 1,000.00 to have a great CCW. Well eith the addition of my ADE Red Dot I have less 600.00 into a great CCW package. The ADE ADE RD3-012, is super bright, easy to mount and very accurate right out of the box. Comes with everything including a mount for picaninny rails for carbine. I put a lot of research into this and the ADE RD3-012 Delta cane our #1.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT Bang for the Buck!!!!
I had a Leupold Delta Point w/7.5 moa. It kept shutting down so I had to send it back for repairs. I wanted something to tide me over until the Delta Point came back so I bought this with the 6 moa and put it on. That was 4 months ago. I still haven't switched back even though my Leupold is back. This thing holds zero with no problem. The dot is bright, doesn't star and is easy to see. The glass is easy to see thru without any distortion. I probably put 600 -1000 rounds per month thru the gun (Walther PPQ Tac 4) at the range. Have not had to do anything to the sight after zeroing it in other than replacing the battery once. However, for the money I could replace the battery monthly and be well ahead of the game. The only (and it's very slight) drawback is zeroing it in. With the lock down screws having to be tightened every time then loosened every time you make a change it gets tiresome. However, once it's zeroed it stays zeroed so it's not that big of a deal. If you are just thinking about getting a RMR/Red Dot this is a great way to get started without having to break the bank. I'm going to order another one for my wife's gun.

Amazing quality
As a retired gunsmith and gunshop owner, I've had my hands on a LOT of optics over the past 34 years. I read a bunch of reviews before deciding to try the Ade Micro Red Dot Site. I had used their mounts in the past and was impressed with their precision and quality. The site did not disappoint and was simple to mount on a Beretta M-92FS (using the appropriate Ade mount). The lens is nicely coated, the dot is clear and fully adjustable and the thing just looks awesome...and at a price that is half that of comparable sites. I am so impressed that I just ordered another one to attach to a custom M-1911 "Race Gun".

Works great for price!
Works great, easy install

Optics sight 6mca.
The ADVANCED OPTIC tactical reflex dot sight was more then I expected. Easy to follow instructions easy installation. Just everything about the sight was above my expectation. Adjustment Accuracy was dead on after I adjusted everything. Highly recommend this product.

Awesome for the price
I like almost everthing about this product. Easy to install, accurate and looks good (love the American flag on the side). The only small drawback will be replacing the batteries; not easy to get to.

Great sight, quality as good as every other $400 sight.
I installed this on a Canik TP9SFX and it was really simple to install. The red dot brightness adjustment gets super bright and sighting to zero was as simple as turning 2 screws, also still holding zero after 300 shots. Will be buying more for my other guns.

Good look...
I wanted an optic that I felt was affordable, this being the first one I've purchased. I found it easy to install and looks great on my Canik tp9sfx. I am looking forward to going to the range tomorrow! If all goes as anticipated, I would put one on my rifle...

Good to get started with.
Have not put any rounds down range with it yet. However, was easy to install with D1 Glock plate. Shipped very fast and arrived early. Appears and feels sturdy. Has a lower profile than what I originally thought. Great red dot to get started with if you’re not sure about them. Also good for those who are not wanting to have work done to the slide to install an optic.
