Title: Weaver Micro Dot
Post by: Kates on February 16, 2013, 11:05:38 PM
Had a chance to look at the Weaver Micro dot today and really liked it.  I believe it retails for around $90.  Does anyone have any experience with them?

I ask the same in a earlier post, I believe this dot is new and came out after turkey season started.

I have one and they are ok. Seems to hold zero so far but the adjustment screws will not stay tight. They turn freely with no solid clicks. That is my biggest complaint about the sight

I just finished the season with mine and was well pleased.  I have not used any other of the sights so I could not give an accurate comparison. 

The pros: Held zero perfect, battery never went bad and has a great price point.

The cons: I lost one of my set screws while getting it zeroed.  Weaver's customer service STINKS!   I own three other Weaver scopes on my rifles and seriously considered putting them on E-bay. I sent five different e-mails begging for a response and it took nearly three weeks for them to get back with me.  The numbers on the package will just send you to voice mail.  I even called Midway, who I purchased it from and all they had was the same number.  When I did get a response, I couldn't get a set screw because they said they could not send out that part.  I sent my sight back in, and the replace it with a new one.

All that said, I think the only thing wrong with this product is the folks who manufacture it.
