Help identifying red dot sight

#1 Post by jmc67 »

I have a request for help please folks. I have a red dot sight which came with a rifle I bought a while back. Having replaced it with a standard scope, I'm looking to sell this on. But, I cannot find any makers marks on it. All it says is 'Japan'. It has 11 brightness settings, and on the back a selector to select between 4 different dot styles. It seems very well made, and doesn't feel like a cheap knock off.

I think it may be an older version of an Ultradot Pan AV, but am not sure. Anyone recognise it and care to comment please?

It looks very much like a Hakko Panorama series red dot. (possibly a BED-24)

I sold one with a rifle to someone on here a while back. (Possibly my SGC lever-release) Very nice red dot!

Yes, thanks guys, it does indeed look like the Bed-24. Happy to stand corrected and good to know what it is. Looks like it's a bit of history, so a bit torn now about getting rid of it. Time for a think....
