Osight X Review, Budget Red Dot Powerhouse! My Thoughts After First Range Trip.

[Brandon Breeze]

Just wrapped up testing the Osight X red dot on my Shadow Systems DR920P and wanted to share results for anyone curious about this new budget optic.

Price: under $200
Build: proprietary aluminum blend (OAL)
Battery System: rechargeable hood w/ USB-C, recharges the optic up to 3x
Reticles: dot, circle-dot, or circle only
Brightness Modes: auto, manual, or lock
Glass: very clear, minimal tint
Reticle: crisp, sharper than my Holosun 507 Comp (to my eyes)
Rounds Fired: 300+ (reloads, factory, +P Gold Dots)
Zero: held without issue

Cons: finish scratches easily,
Minor reticle fade near top of glass,
Unknown long-term durability (desk pop destroyed easily)

Final Thoughts: The Osight X is an impressive budget optic. It’s clear, feature-rich, and reliable so far. The rechargeable system is surprisingly practical, especially with a USB-C setup. Think about the ability to recharge with a small solar setup anywhere any time. Not sure if it’s "battle-tough", but for range or EDC use, it’s a solid performer at this price point. I've seen a few other folks put them through decent beatings so far and they did fine.

I have two of these and they are amazing for the features and value.

Also O-Sight recently released a green version of this and it is on sale for Black Friday.

Yeah, great call out, it's the SE, IIRC, but only comes in 6 MOA dot, so I'll be waiting for if they come out with their standard 3 reticle configuration.

They have green versions for both the X and SE.

I ordered the green SE for my HCP. I never tried a 6 MOA dot before. I have moderate astigmatism and the reviews for the SE so far indicate the green color helps with that.

I have astigmatism in both eyes (did a video on this as well), and the green dot or reticles have done zero to help with the fuzziness I see in optics. The larger dots have definitely helped from at dot clarity perspective though. I have some 8 MOA dots and they look like a nice round dot. 2 MOA dots on the other hand look like a splotch. That said, a 2 MOA splotch still is much smaller than an 8 MOA dot (to me), so I've opted to stick with the smaller size dots since I find I shoot more accurately with them, especially at 25 yards and beyond. YMMV, just sharing my experience.

I ran one on a G22 at the last match I shot.
It’s absolutely a strong contender against the big names and I plan to pick one up during the sale.
