Re: ATM BB Gun Reflex Site vs. Orion EZFinder

[Jeff Crilly <jeff@communities.com>]

Fyi...

There was a thread a while ago on the using a BB Gun "Red Dot Sight"
as a finder.

At the local Big 5 sporting goods shop I noticed a red dot finder
that looked suspiciously like the Orion EZ Finder.  $16.  (no mounting
flange like the one you get with the orion, of course.)

This unit is labeled "Copperhead".  It has the longer tube
like the orion, and a two setting brightness switch.  I dunno
for sure, but the dim setting may be acceptable -- or I might
need to add a resistor, which looks doable in the battery
compartment.  I'm not sure if the minuscus window is as dark as
the Daisy unit.  I've seen the daisy unit at the wall-mart, and
it looked pretty dark.  This unit's minuscus window is slightly
tinted, but doesn't appear to be tinted much against daylight.
