Red Dot sights ... very, very small dot.

Here she is mounted on my 2240 bulk fill. For the money it's a great Red Dot.

That's lookin' good! 

Would you take a little time and tell us about the trigger assembly?  Does it work as good as it looks?

Thanks ! The trigger group is from Crosmods and it works great, it's adjustable and has a nice crisp smooth pull. I really like it the only thing i don't like is it don't have a safety so this is for target shooting only.

Mike ... Does that trigger group assembly just replace the Crosman trigger frame with no mods to any other parts of the gun?  It looks like the trigger group wants to have their grip, right?

I think I may have to look into that ...

I spent about an hour reading everything I could find on your Ultradot sight.  I have decided that when I think about $200+ it seems like a lot of money.  But, I also know that there are very similar sights that go up to $1500 and $2000.  Now its not so expensive.  I also decided that I have already wasted nearly $150 buying stuff for $35 to $50 each that just doesn't cut the mustard. So, I think it is time to clear off the shelf, unload some of the stuff I never even use any more, and convert that into something nice.  If I can make this work, I'll get one.  I really like what I saw and read.  Sometimes it is better to drop back and punt.

Ooooo, I like it. What is the eye relief like on it? Can you shoot through it with arms extended?

[Washbush]

The Pyramyd Air web site says that it has "flexible eye relief". 

Does anyone know what that is?  It doesn't say "adjustable", it doesn't say unlimited ... it says "flexible".  I guess that means it can't make up its mind.

Yep you can shoot it pistol style no problem.

[Tater]

Very cool. Thank you, the "flexible" part threw me off too.

[Washbush]

Gents ... I found out what "flexible" means in this case.  With a rifle scope, your eye has to be in pretty much the exactly right spot or the image in the scope is either blurry, if you are too close, or surrounded by a big thick black ring if you are too far away. "Flexible eye relief" is something that is designed into the sights and lets the shooter see a good, clear image over a broad range of distances between his eye and the eyebell.  I am thinking that the eye might be able to start looking for the target even before the gun is in a position to shoot and then, moving his head does not break the shooters ability to keep an eye on the target if he moves.  I thought it was some kind of advertising malarkey trying to make something out of nothing. But, it turns out, we all want it.  That's neat.  They said it really helps a shooter who wears glasses, especially no line bifocals, to find his target faster as he doesn't need to move his head into the perfect spot for both the sight and the glasses in order to see.

I think flexible eye relief is just another term for unlimited eye relief. You can aim a dot sight 4" from your eye or 16". That difference could be construed as being 'flexible'.

I have an aftermath red dot on my 2250. Its the same one as the bsa dot sight but $15 cheaper and over by the paintball stuff.

[zoneofenders]

i'm not sure if you already found one but this used to be my setup.

It's the Hawke sport dot. It has 4 levels of light and it keeps centerd quite wel, i'd have to adjust the elevation a little bit every 60 shots or so.
It cost me about 35bucks. Not sure if the dot is still to large for your liking?
I liked it but i'm going back to peep sights.
