What I saw caught me off guard.
Glimmering, glittering and standing out in stunning fashion through the coated glass was a brilliant gold reticle.
Green may offer marginally better battery life in daylight than red since it doesnt have to be as bright.
Also, gold may be more difficult to see during daylight particularly when placed on lighter backgrounds or targets.
All of them are 2 MOA dots with a lower 13 co-witness mount and low profile mount.
I was also looking out for blooming, or dot distortion and flaring based on factors of brightness.
First up was the red dot.
It was crisp, easy to pick up, bright enough at 12 brightness and had no bloom.
I had zero issues and it made shot placement very intuitive and easy.
Then moving on to the green dot, I really liked the controls on the HE403C unit.
They were easy to manipulate, and the green dot was rich, saturated, bright and just popped.
They both worked excellently.
Then, it was time to test out the gold HE403R.
My initial impression was… honestly, excitement.
The opposite was the case.
I will say that brightness for me was most comfortable and easiest to see turned all the way up.
Maybe but it also may not be for everyone.
