I strapped on the Feyachi V30 2MOA Red Dot Sight for a few range trips, and here’s what I discovered. Let’s break it down.
Best Features & Pros:
- Auto On/Off: This is a huge plus. No more fiddling to turn it on or off at the range. Picks up movement and activates instantly, shuts down after an hour of inactivity. Battery life is excellent.
- Clear Optics & Crisp Dot: The sight picture is clear, and the 2 MOA red dot is sharp. Makes for fast target acquisition, especially with both-eyes-open shooting.
- Mounting Options: Comes with both a low profile and absolute co-witness mount, giving you flexibility depending on your setup.
- Built Tough: Seems well-built. The aluminum housing feels solid, and it’s rated for up to 800G’s recoil.
- Extras: Includes flip-up lens covers and an anti-reflection device, which are nice touches at this price point.
Cons & User Experience:
While it’s a great budget option, there are a few drawbacks:
- Durability Concerns: Some online reviews mention concerns about long-term durability, particularly after heavy use or drops.
- Shake-Awake: A few users reported issues with the auto on/off function not working consistently. Mine seemed fine, but it’s something to be aware of.
- Not Top-Tier Glass: The glass clarity isn’t mind-blowing, but perfectly functional for recreational shooting. Don’t expect the same level of clarity as high-end red dots.
Overall, for the price, the Feyachi V30 punches above its weight. It’s a solid choice for plinking, recreational shooting, or even a budget AR build.
What Others Are Saying:
- Online reviews generally reflect my experience. Users appreciate the features and value but mention similar concerns about durability and the occasional auto on/off hiccup.
- Some reviews rave about the customer service, with Feyachi quickly resolving issues.
Alternatives:
- If budget isn’t a major concern, consider a higher-end red dot like a Primary Arms SLx or a Holosun. They offer superior glass clarity and potentially better durability.
- TruGlo makes some interesting red dot options at a similar price point to the Feyachi. They might be worth checking out.
What Fits?
The Feyachi V30 mounts on any Picatinny rail, so it’ll fit on AR-15s, shotguns, pistols with rails (with appropriate mount), and even some rimfire rifles.
The Verdict:
The Feyachi V30 2MOA Red Dot Sight is a good value for budget-minded shooters. It’s easy to use, has some great features, and seems plenty tough for recreational use. However, if you need a bomb-proof red dot for serious applications, you might want to look elsewhere.
