Sorry, I hit the wrong button and posted my inquiry before I was finished! I'm interested in the Valdada 1X Edge Tactical red dot sight for my Ruger Mini 14. Any comments would be appreciated.

It seems kinda goofy to have target-type knobs on a red dot sight...that belongs more on a riflescope that has at least some magnification. It is difficult to hit targets past 300 yards without magnification...and you don't need any adjustments with your Ruger Mini-14 at that range, just very slight hold over.
The 5 MOA red dot would limit your range as well....covering about 10.5" of target at 200 yards.
I think the guys using Aimpoints with a 2 MOA dot have the right idea...the whole "aim small, miss small thing". For more speed close up they just turn up the brightness and it appears as a 4-6 MOA dot.
If you ask this in Rifle Scopes or Tactical Scopes you will have a good shot at getting some good answers and direction from the guys who have much experience with different red dot sights.
Good luck

This is probably a wrong part of the forum to post your question in.
Here, you would typically post your own review of a particular product, so I will move this thread to a better place. As far as Valdada Red Dot sight goes, it is pretty new, so not a lot of people have seen it. I have talked to a couple of guys who have it and they say it is a well-made sight. To me it looks eerily similar to Burris XTS-135, so if you find reviews on that red dot sight, they will probably also be applicable to Valdada. ILya

Oh, and I removed the other thread you started, since you reposted it here.
