The Water's Fine
Thanks for the replies. Wow, so this is normal, it seems. I feel it's a major design flaw. I just don't like the obstruction...
With both eyes open, it really doesn't bother me at all. I could certainly be wrong, but it seems like any micro red dot design I've seen has this emitter obstruction. Not all are that large.
If I have any qualms at all, it's whether I could depend on it after rough usage, where I know an Aimpoint will hold. Its price point indicates likely no.
But if you don't like it, resell it and spend more for what you want.
