Feyachi RDS-22 2 MOA Red Dot Sight Compact Red Dot Scope 1 x 22mm，Selectable with 5 Slots 0.83”Riser Mount

The media could not be loaded. Obviously, with the price point there was a certain stereotype that came with this red dot. It came in a plain black box but was neatly packaged in styrofoam. There was a small pamphlet with directions, a lens wipe, and two allen wrenches (one hex and one torx). Everything had a tight cutout in the styrofoam and came undamaged. The weight of the Red Dot was typical to the others in its class and felt more robust than anticipated. Considering the optic was only $50, we had little faith in its capability, but they sent it to us and by golly we were going to review it.As you can see in our video review we put it through a few rounds, zeroed the little guy and then commenced with playing with it. Attaching it was simple, but our first issue reared it’s ugly head and we thought it was the first failure of many. The hex screw stripped when tightened and it just made the entire process just a little annoying. However, it went on the weapon and functioned just fine. Zeroing was super easy, just take the covers off and get a flat head and turn in the desired direction. Took about 9 rounds to zero and we were in business. From our video you can see that we threw it around, dropped it on itself, and literally beat it and to our surprise, the optic not only continued to function, but it also held its zero!!! We were pleasantly surprised at this little guy’s performance. We put about 1,000 rounds through it and there were no issues. We will continue to review this little guy with more rounds and update this review as we progress. However, if you’re on the fence about getting this red dot, go ahead and get it. It’s affordable, but by no means is it cheap. This is and actual red dot and can hold a zero for a 5.56. It’s absolutely well worth the money and it won’t disappoint.

Optic packaging seems to be of less quality than how Feyachi package their off-set flashlight (Feyachi FL11), which is curious or they have that much confidence of the durability of this unit. You decide.Package contents include:Optic UnitP-rail Riser BlockSeparate rubber-band style dust cover. This optic does not have attached flip-up style covers.Cleaning clothEXTRA Battery (for when you forget to turn this unit off after utilizing)Instructions Pamphlet (that you will probably not need for anything other than dialing this unit in at the range)Torx and Allen key for mounting and adjusting. end.Overall construction appears durable and solid. Mine had a small chip out of the black coating by the battery/case/on-off dial as seen in the photos but nothing that impacted overall functionality or aesthetic.Mounting process was intuitive and took a couple of minutes to mate the optic to the riser block and then to the P-rail. For this particular review, I paired the Feyachi RDS-22 optic with a Tacticon Falcon V1 Magnifier and they paired quite well with the magnifier unit having its riser shim installed. See photos for alignment. Figured budget with budget for an apples to apples comparison as someone out there might use that combo for their budget build.Red Dot settings are clear and bright considering the price/value realm that we are dealing with. Again, for a budget build, this optic would be tough to beat. As others have mentioned, there is a manufacturing item that creates a strange "bump"at the 5 0-clock position inside of the rear lens. It DOES NOT impair the line of sight or functionality of this unit. Simply some side-effect of the build process. I cannot say what it is or if it can be corrected next build cycle OR if it has any long-term impacts.In short, this red dot optic functions as intended for a great price point out of the box. Clear line-of-sight with an off-set flashlight. Partially questionable packaging. Some noted manufacturing items (2) that do not impact functionality and are just fine tuning for future build cycles. For a budget build or knock-around weapon you could buy multiple of this unit and get the same end-result as much, much more expensive optics.Note: To clarify two points before I end up answering a bunch of buyer questions...: The pic of the optic and yellow background with the red dot illuminated has a red slash through the lens created by the Camera Flash...not something to do with the Feyachi unit. Next, the pic of the mounted optic with the red dot and yellow background...the red dot is off-center due to the angle of the camera. The red dot is centered as with just about every red dot optic out there. It also easily clears the flashlight mounted canted to the right.

This is the second Fayachi RDS-22 I’ve purchased on Amazon in as many years. Both mounted on inertia actioned 12ga semiautomatic shotguns, both being 18” tactical style scatterguns, they produce a moderate amount of recoil as I typically shoot mostly slug, 00, #1 and 2 buckshot. With the firing impulse and recoil these little inexpensive red dots have yet to fail and so far they have retained their zero.It is a small red dot and fits nicely on my M2 (as pictured) and is not overly intrusive to impede weapon manipulation yet it’s large enough to quickly acquire during snap drills. The RDS-22 sets low enough with its integral pic rail (no riser) clamp base to allow for a 1/3 lower co-witness of the irons.It was quite intuitive to mount (use blue lock-tight) and zero with 1 MOA adjustments that were positive and audible. The illuminated red dot is graduated into 12 setting (0-11) and they to were both positive, tactile and audible adjustments. The dot is clear, round but at its higher adjustments slightly washed out as setting 8,9,10 and 11took on a slight “star” glazing of the glass.Overall, for 36 bucks and change it’s a good little beater red dot that gets the job done without breaking the bank. I wouldn’t recommend it for duty use but for my bedside shotty and my range day tactical scattergun, it’s good to go.

Very happy with it. Bought over a year ago for a Diana Airbug CO2 pistol. Holds zero well for over 20,000 shots. Used at 10 meters exclusively. There is a bit of parallax error but centering the dot in the tube cancels this. I find that on setting "1" indoors, the dot is a bit too bright. Then again my 60 yr. old eyes may play a part. Outside is no problem. For the price, this is a good bargain
