Tasco PDP1 Red Dot Scope





How does it work?

I bought my scope from a place on the inter net called E. Arthur Brown Company, Inc. for $43.95 shipped. The place I ordered mine from gave me the standard weaver mounting rails, a sun shade, lens covers, battery, cleaning cloth, and tool all for $39.95, $43.95 shipped. Well most reddot scopes use lithium batteries and so does this one. You put a coin style lithium battery in the top dial. Now your ready to go. This model has 11 different brightness's. All you do to change between off and the 11 different brightness's, is turn the big dial on the top between 1 to 11 and 0 is off. there is also windadge adjustment on both sides. It is also a 20mm objective (Witch means 20mm viewable). A reddot also allows you to do both eyes open shooting, Because, you don't need to focus on 3 things at once like Iron sights (when you use Iron sights, you have to focus on the rear and front sights, then you have to focus all that on the target). In case your not familiar with reddots, a reddot scope is basically a scope with low magnification, if there is any at all, with a dot that looks like a laser but only you can see it through the scope. When you look through it , looks exactly like the picture to the left. With this reddot on my M4 I can tighten my group up about 3 to 4 inches at 50 feet, witch is not bad at all.


In conclusion, I would say this is an excellent red dot to buy. If you have the money I would go with the PDP5, because, you have more control out of the winduge adjustment than the PDP1, but if you don't have the money or you would like to spend the money on some thing else that has to do with airsoft, and you still want to get better accuracy than your Iron sights, then buy the PDP1. It's worth it.
