Meprolight makes the optics for the IDF, and organization that used their gear, and uses it hard. I have used optics, stuff from trijicon, aimpoint, eotech, vortex, and cheap stuff as well. You get what you pay for, but in this case, I feel like you get a bit more. If you need a truly go to war capable sight, but don't want to spend the money for a trijicon (the only optics I like more than this) it will serve you well.Long battery life, coupled with an easily obtainable battery (AA) means it can be kept ready to go for months on end, or turned off to save the batteries if you won't need it an a moment's notice. Controls are easy to use and soldier friendly stupid simple.Tough as nails, it has withstood being dropped, banged up against things, and (literally) being thrown in the back of a truck with nothing other than cosmetic damage and maintained zero through hours of training and 1000s of rounds through my rifle.I'm not sure if it's as tough as an Eotech (which I have seen continue to work even when the glass has been broken) as I suspect the polymer hood makes it more susceptible to cracking, but I have not had it break yet to find out. The batteries last far longer and only takes a single AA.Compared to the Trijicon Reflex (which is my favorite reflex sight and what I carried on my rifle when I was in the Army) it's roughly half the price. And while the trijicon doesn't take batteries at all, for normal usage, the Meprolight is a better value for stateside usage IMHO.I really like this sight, and would recommend it highly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great optic, especially if you have an astigmatism *by J***J on May 31, 2015* I could not be happier with this optic.I own and regularly use a wide variety of reflex and holographic sights (Aimpont H1, Eotech, Trijicon RMS, Vortex, Etc.).The fit and finish is solid. I would have liked to get one of the early release aluminum hood versions, but the polymer is fine. The integral mount is well designed and pre-adjusted tensioned for just the right fit on a pic rail out of the box.I have an astigmatism so most reflex type optics will "bloom" on me. I see very little blooming on the Tru-Dot both with the naked eye and with the Aimpoint 3x mag I am running with with.I can't report on battery life yet. However, the instant on feature is key for me. Unless it is Aimpoint H1 where my batteries will last years, I always carry extra batteries if I forget to leave an optic on. Don't need to worry about that with the Tru-Dot's delayed off and instant on.I like that the field of few is larger than my Eotech but the height of the optic is shorter.I would summarize the Tru-Dot as having many of the features I appreciate with my Aimpoint H1 and Eotech EXPS2 with not as many cons (such as price, size and field of view).(Please note I have not run this thru an extensive day of shooting. Just install and range shooting. I don't expect my opinion to change much after.) ### ⭐ Battery leaked and now sight is shutting off *by W***G on August 21, 2015* 4/1/2017Has worked perfectly for several range trips. Has a larger, clearer field of view than all red dot sights I've seen. Dot seems as crisp as possible. The one piece glass prism is super clear. The brightness settings are perfectly adequate even in bright daylight. I don't need ten to twenty brightness settings. Very rugged and solid.Updated 2/9/2018:After about two and a half years of use and a few battery changes, my battery leaked and caused a bunch of gunk and corrosion in the battery compartment. I've read this has happened to quite a few people.I was using a high quality AA battery too; not the cheap "heavy duty" AA battery that came with the sight. Luckily I was able to clean it all out and didn't damage the sight. If it leaks again I'll probably knock off another star.Update 8/26/2018The RDS has started shutting off intermentently during shooting. I've made sure the battery cap is tight. It's a shame because this sight has so much potential. I'm lowering my review from 3 to 1 star. I bought another Aimpoint PRO on sale for less than the RDS cost and can depend on it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/8575633-mepro-rds](https://www.desertcart.be/products/8575633-mepro-rds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
