Tasco propoint red dot

[Wingnut]

Just installed the tasco on my MP25.22 and it seemed fine. Batteries good red light came on, red dot was visible and adjustable. Closed her up and the next day I went to the range to sight her in.
No red dot. Wtf? I could see the red light was on inside the tube but was not projecting to were it will be seen as a red dot. I'm stumped. Rifle was not dropped, batteries are good , red light is on inside. I do not have a manual....
What should I look for?

 

[lx1x]

a new red dot. lol

google the model, bet youll find the manual.

 

[Wingnut]

...a new red dot... You're right. Wtf was I thinking buying a tasco.

Did you leave it on overnight? Also, check the battery and the spring holding the battery cap on. And are you sure you're looking in the right lens?

 

[Wingnut]

Checked all that. I was looking through it at home when I mounted and the dot was there, just when I got to the range- no dot. I can look in from the firing end and see the red light is operating. I'm stumped.

Did you put in on backwards?

Does it have a broghtness adjustment?
I have a different brand but need to turn the brightness up when outside compared to inside.
Also if left on overnight,battery could go dead.

 

[Wingnut]

Not on backwards (I'm a wingnut not a f&@Knut LOL) and I ran through all the brightness levels...

I have one. Very accurate. Battery has lasted a few years and I once left it on all night.

Id call up tasco, i have had horrible luck with them. Blew the insides of one their scopes up on my shotgun(now has a leupold on it and its wayy more accurate) and i have their pro varmint on my 17 hmr that the cross hairs keep going fuzzy on and cant adjust it right, its about to come off also

You pretty much covered all the bases.
Time to return it to Tasco.
If ou decide to go with a different brand.
Look sat Primary Arms red dots.
Well under 100 bucks with mount.
Been useing mine on a AR and AK for a year now with no problems other then manual battery on/off

 

[Wingnut]

Alright back to Tasco it goes.
Thanks everybody.

I have a PA Aimpoint knockoff on my PLR-16 (not exactly a hard kicking gun) and it did well for the 60 rounds or so I put through it.

After a hour i bore sighted it on a real M4 and it still was gimped up. Tasco and airsoft can kiss my right butt cheek.
