Leupold DeltaPoint Reflex Sight (All Mounts) 7.5 MOA Delta Review

I was prepared to love this device but I've had to curb my enthusiasm. I've got the 3.5 MOA dot model with a cross-slot mount on my Ruger MKIII.

First the good news:

- The sight is extremely light, but very solidly and robustly built.
- The lens is completely clear, none of that greenish or yellowish cast that some red dots have.
- It turns off by itself after five minutes of inactivity, but springs instantly to life when you pick it up.
- The intensity of the dot varies according to light conditions, though I have yet to notice much difference
- Settings are retained by a pair of set screws, so they presumably will not change due to recoil and handling.

Now the less good news:

- Elevation and windage are adjusted by turning tiny little screws (wrench provided.) The recesses are so shallow it's often difficult to tell when the wrench has purchase.
- There are no adjustment clicks. You have to eyeball the adjustment using the little lines radiating away from the screw recesses. Since each line moves the dot 7.5 MOA, it is difficult to adjust it precisely and easy to overcompensate. A further difficulty is that the screws provide very little resistance and you sometimes can't tell if the wrench is gripping, as noted above.
- The set screws, though theoretically an advantage, have to be loosened then tightened after each adjustment, which makes for a pretty tedious sight in procedure.

At 25 yds the 3.5 MOA dot basically covers the 10 ring of a 5" target. Using a pistol rest I carefully fired 3-shot groups, then adjusted the sight accordingly. Several times I thought I had it nearly zeroed, but found after adjusting the windage or elevation the other parameter mysteriously changed too. (At this point you may suspect the gun, the ammo or the shooter. All I can say is with the same setup and the $18 Chinese knock off I was replacing I could easily punch out the 10 ring all day.) When it seemed like I was getting close I switched to 3" Shoot 'n C targets (for quicker feedback) and 5-shot groups. I could not consistently get all five shots on target, or even on the same place on the target. The 3.5 MOA dot is a bit large for great precision, but I expected at least two inch groups. After two sessions of an hour or more each I managed to burn through 300 rounds of ammunition and am still not satisfied the the accuracy or consistency of the results. (I hate to think of doing this with center fire ammo.)

Despite these poor results I haven't quite given up on the sight. I'm going to contact Leupold and see if they have any suggestions. I did wonder if it was necessary, as I have been doing, to loosen both set screws when adjusting just windage or elevation. Could the other dial go out of adjustment by itself? Seems unlikely, but maybe possible. The scanty manual provided is silent on this point.

Overall, this would be a perfect red dot sight for many purposes if it can be accurately and permanently zeroed. I would recommend anyone interested in it to proceed cautiously.
