Holosun HS503G Red Dot Sight - ACSS Reticle

I just took delivery of this sight and the reticle is completely fuzzy at all brightness levels.  The horseshoe looks like it has three lines and the chevron is not distinguishable at all...it looks like a blurry dot!  I'm thinking this has to be a completely defective sight!  I'll be contacting them to send back tomorrow. 

Anyone else have any experience with one of these?  I know it's not an Aimpoint or Eotech but after some research it looked like a decent optic for the price point~

Sure its not your eyes? Do you wear glasses? If not, you have a cheap pair of reading glasses or someone else's to experiment with?

Not to defend holosun or accuse your eyesight but as others have hinted at, it could possibly be an issue with your eyes and from what I gather blurry red dot reticle has mostly to do with astigmatism in the eyes. I also find red dot reticles much fuzzier/mishapen to me when indoors as opposed to outdoors. Quick little test I learned from the interwebz, use a camera to take a picture of the reticle, view the photo and if its still deformed then i'd say you would need to rma your optic as it has issues.

I don't wear glasses and have no astigmatism.  I'm pretty sure the optic has issues but I'll try the camera test just to see what happens.  Thanks Flank.

FWIW

I had a $700 Aimpoint that looked like a burning red comet.. switched to Eotech.. no problems.. it was my eyes..

      Red Dot moving the bullet? :)
      By MichaelDiggs
      I have my Aimpoint red dot zeroed in perfectly at 25 yards. I finally got the chance to shoot my second rifle outside at 50 yards. Red dot easily seen, but EVERY hole was a few inches above where the red dot was at. I know there must be a technical explanation on this and if I set my red dot below where I want the bullet to go it will go into the bulls eye. Is there a good site I can read on the technical aspects on how all that works? I didn't think a difference of 25 yards would be so great, and I certainly do not nor expect everyone zeroes their red dot all the time if they change distances. Just looking to learn and understand better.

      Magnifier with Red Dot?
      By MichaelDiggs
      It is me again!
      Anyone here use a magnifier with their red dot? Is the whole idea to let you see further out or just more in your face with the red dot? How do you hit a 12 x 24 target at 100 yards? Will a magnifier let you take that task? I know for sure a nice scope would do it, but I wanted the red dot for those shorter outings and I would be shooting < 100 yards most of the time. So I picked out a 3x magnifier that isn't very expensive but has a good name behind it. They also make a 6x model. Comes with a mount where you can just push the magnifier to the side when you don't want to use it or QD right off the rail. Is it something to eventually look at? 
       
      Thanks.

      Little Modification To My Model 64
      By M4BGRINGO
      I couldn't stand the sights on this revolver. Had to paint them just to see them. I still stink-up the place with it. I could have thrown it better than I shot with it. So............Much to the dismay of revolver and iron sights shooters like Ray Ray and Alec, here is what she looks like now, and I was hitting a 3" group at 25 yards!
       

       
       
      Took about 1/2 hour to drill and tap the revolver. Now I'll take it out once in awhile and try to hit some steel again with it.
