Part One and Two: Lucid HD7 RDS review is up.

[willardcw4]

The reticles are in alignment with the optic itself. There were variances between the optic mounted on the weapon sitting in my maintenance stand, and the angle of the tripod and camera.

Given the equipment I have on hand to work with, providing a perfectly aligned video representation of the optic from the shooters view point is impossible. My sole intent with the video is to demonstrate the various reticles and features of the HD7.

If the reticle of the HD7 was internally off axis, I certainly wouldn’t have went forth with reviewing the optic, but would have promptly returned it to the mfgr.

Just checking :) It looks like a good quality optic... nice review =D

Thanks.

Again, if I found the HD7 not worthy of review, I certainly would not have invested the time I have to date, culminating photos and data in an attempt to bring the readers of Weapon Evolution a quality unbiased review of a new product.

I would be personally bothered if you wasted your time reviewing something that you didn't feel was worth it. We don't all need top of the line equipment that maxes out the price limit, but none of us here need bottom of the line equipment either.

I am very interested to see how this ends up working out after you have spent a month or three with it. I have mentioned more than once that I thought the optic world would start catching up with decent medium priced optics. Hopefully this will be one of those that does. I think the idea of running the optic off a single AAA battery is fantastic. They are easy to find, and easy to pick out of a drawer, unlike their smaller watch or photo battery counterparts.

Stick,

I concur with your comments. I am especially excited about the idea of using very common batteries.

Great review, this was the most info. I could find on this optic. Thanks.

Yes Sir, I agree.



I’m looking forward to the upcoming range time with the HD7. My test bed for Part Two of the review will be the Spike’s 16” Piston Upper Receiver Assembly.

Quib,

Good Part Two Review. I know I am, as others probably are, really curious to find out how the Lucid holds up to a more "vigorous" course of fire. Nonetheless, I still am very curious about this sight.

Received my HD7 today, so far i'm impressed. Clear glass, nice reticles, crisp dot, solid mount. The part I was most concerned with, the turrets, don't seem to be easily moved out of zero. Heading to the range monday to zero.

Understandable, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t be the guy for that task. In this case, someone more in that “line of work” would have to step in.

Excellent.

Please keep us all informed. I look forward to your report.
