Great Optic for price I have two, but my damn astigmatism

I must have the same thing...My StrikeFire II looks like a sideways arrow...
Ironically, a CheapO $20 Tasco red dot looks perfect...

Where's the beef?

My dad helped me put a Tasco on my BB gun. I think I was 11.
Wanna trade?

For me all red dots have the same effect, even my inexpensive trs25.

All red dot look like Starburst to me. Unless I'm outside. Then they're a perfect circle. It's weird

It isn't you. I have recently checked 20/10 vision with no problems whatsoever. I haven't found a strikefire II that looks halfway decent. Just an Aimpoint knockoff. I'm keeping mine until I eventually get an Aimpoint. Right now it just sits in its box until I decide to put it on the M1A again.

Troubleshooting when the dot is not a dot by Vortex
If the dot of your riflescope doesn't look perfectly round, the distortion may be caused by the way your eye perceives the dot—making the dot appear misshapen. This is called astigmatism. Most everyone has some degree of natural astigmatism. Here are a few ways to tell if the distortion you are seeing is caused by your eyes or is a problem with the scope:
Look through the scope with your other eye. If the dot changes shape from one eye to the other, the misshapen dot is likely caused by astigmatism.
Look through the scope and rotate the scope on its optical axis. If the irregular shape maintains its position, it's probably because of how your eyes are seeing the dot. If the irregular shape of the dot rotates with the scope, there may be a problem with the scope.
Try photographing the dot. Close the objective flip cover of the scope, place the lens of a digital camera up against the eyepiece of the scope, and take a photo of the dot. Compare the photo with what you are seeing through the scope. If the shape is the same as what you are seeing through the scope, the scope may be defective.

I took a shot, nice reviews on them.
Going to try these suggestions out.
Thanks.
FWIW, my co-worker has an Aimpoint that he got (on sale) for about 4X what I got my StrikeFireII for, and looks the same exact way, to me...
I keep my on the lowest brightness setting, but turning it up, does indeed, make it worse, for me.

Same here. I see a raspberry that does not rotate with the optic. I guess I have astigmatism, too.
