VENOM REFLEX SIGHT Reviews & Ratings

Make your AR, pistol, or shotgun even more poisonous with the Venom Red Dot sight. A 3 MOA dot promotes rapid target acquisition, while providing a precise point of aim—getting shots down range and on target fast. The durable, machined aluminum housing ensures the unit will stand up to whatever you throw at it. High-quality, fully multi-coated lens offers a clean, wide field of view. Our top-load system makes changing the CR 1632 battery a snap and alleviates the need to remove the sight when switching the power source. The power and dot intensity controls are conveniently located on the left side of the unit. Flush 1 MOA windage and elevation adjustments are super sleek and make sighting in a breeze. The Venom comes with a Picatinny mount—weighs 1.6 ounces with mount.

Great Sight, Once You Get One Working...

I've had two of these for several years, and they work great. I tried to buy two more recently. One was DOA, and one the elevation didn't work. I talked to Vortex Tech Support and sent them back for repair. In the meantime, I figured it would be good to have a spare, so I bought another. No elevation adjust... I exchanged that one, same problem. I bought one from Brownells to try to get one from a different Lot, same problem, back it went. I sent a nastygram to Vortex Customer Service. They apologized and told me that you can often fix the elevation problem by running the windage all the way left, then all the way right and then centering it. The two I had sent them arrived. The one with the elevation problem had been fixed, and the DOA was replaced with a new one. That one had no elevation adjust. I applied their trick, and now they both work fine. Why they couldn't have told me about the trick when I first talked to Tech Support is beyond me...
