Lucid sent me two new optics to review. The first is the Third generation of the HD7 red dot. This one in Flat Dark Earth. Initial impression is good. I love the original HD7, and I am seeing an improvement in the Gen 3. The new other optic is the new L5 rifle scope. This …
I like it. I want one. Anyone trade me one for a slightly used EoTech?
I replaced my Rock River AR with another rifle. Another AR-15 type gun. Having just upgraded it. Again. Oh well. The new rifle is lighter, which is good, and what I was looking for. So all is good, yes? Well, the new rifle has a couple flaws. It has all the recoil that 5.56mm can …
Don’t get me wrong… when it comes to shooting, I’m all about Cheating. I’ll take any advantage I can. Such as this… The Zeiss Diarange rifle scope. It may not be cheap… but it’s like an FPS Cheat Code for real life. It’s got a very solid mounting system, one like none other I’ve seen …
I’ve seen scope failures from every scope maker. Zeiss, Swarovski, Leupold, Trijicon, Huskama, Nikon… Everyone. A Rifle Scope is a precision instrument mounted on something that recoils and gets knocked around. Every scope, no matter what, will eventually fail. That’s just a fact. Death and Taxes. So just because someone on the internet bitches and …
Crusader Weaponry has teamed up with Lucid to provide a very good optical gunsight for our rifles. When I first tested the Lucid HD7, it impressed the hell out of me. It was clear, solid, and did everything I wanted an optic to do. In fact, it did better than I had hoped. I put …

All the new scopes and Binos I’ve been seeing from Weaver has really been impressing me. Their quality for the prices they are offered at Retail… Very impressive. ATK has done very well to make Weaver a serious optics brand again. Kudos! I can say that Weaver has a couple good scopes and a Bino …
I was asked about options for Illuminated scopes. There are a lot of them out there… Burris, Leupold, Vortex. And they are all just fine. The Vortex Crossfire Illuminated with a MilDot, can be had for only 200 bucks. But it’s not my favorite by any means. The one I really like is the Trijicon …
I just did the Scope Dance. Normally I give my buddy Fenris hell for always moving his scopes around… and now here I did it. I pulled my EOtech off my M4, my Bushnell Holosight off (one of) my 870 Tactical, and my Lucid HD7 of my Sterling. I never liked the thing on the …
Had a question about the Lucid HD7. Would I take it over a Vortex. (Strikefire or SPARC) Hands down I’d buy the Lucid. Again. Not a lot of people really know much about the Lucid. It’s pretty new in the market still, but it’s a good solid unit that’s given no problems and shoots with …
