Osight X Red Dot Sight: A Hard-Hitting, No-Nonsense Review

February 13, 2025

Listen up, folks. The Osight X isn’t some run-of-the-mill red dot that you slap onto your gun and hope for the best. This thing is built for serious shooters, the kind that demand reliability, durability, and a no-fuss design that actually works. If you’re in the market for a battle-ready optic that can take a beating and keep running, you might want to pay attention.

Mounting Options: Versatile, Solid, and Ready to Roll

Right out of the gate, the Osight X uses the RMR standard footprint, meaning it fits onto a ton of optics-ready pistols without you needing to bust out the Dremel or custom plates. But let’s say you’re the kind of shooter who wants to slap this thing onto a rifle or shotgun—that’s where the OLIGHT RMA-OSP091 Low Profile Picatinny Mount comes in clutch.

The Box Contains the Flush Mount, OSight tool, Extra Screws, and The Allen Key for The Cross Bolts.

Saddle height: 0.476 inches

Optical center height with Osight X: 0.91 inches

Construction: 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum with a steel-reinforced base

Lockdown power: Two beefy cross-bolts to keep this sucker from shifting

In plain English? This mount isn’t going anywhere once you bolt it down. It sits low, keeps your sight picture clean, and won’t rattle loose under fire. Also available is the Picatinny Mount, which offers 1.57 inch optical center height compatible with AR style iron sights.

OAL™ Aluminum Alloy: Light, Tough, and Ready for Abuse

The Osight X is built with OAL™ aluminum alloy, which is supposed to be the next best thing in lightweight yet rugged construction. It’s not just another fancy marketing term—this stuff is the real deal.

What’s the Big Deal? Strength Testing & Durability

The OAL™ alloy has been put through hell and back with:

Tensile Strength Testing: Measures how much force it takes before snapping (spoiler: a lot, I’ve seen the 3rd party testing video).

Fatigue Testing: Simulates years of recoil and abuse to ensure it won’t wear out.

Drop & Impact Tests: The kind of testing that makes lesser optics cry.

What it gives you: A thinner, (but stronger), frame allowing room for a larger lens and better field of view.

Bottom line? This thing isn’t going to fail you when you need it most.

Designed To Fit Only One Way, It’s Fast And Simple to Put Together

Optical Features: Clear, Fast, and Dead-On Accurate

What good is a red dot if the glass sucks? Fortunately, the Osight X delivers in this department with a 24 mm × 21.5 mm multi-coated lens that gives you a wide, crystal-clear field of view.

Reticle Options:

3 MOA Dot (fast and precise)

32 MOA Circle (great for close-range speed)

Combination of Both (best of both worlds)

Brightness Settings: 10 daytime levels / 2 night vision-compatible levels

Auto Light Adjust: Adapts to ambient light conditions so you don’t have to mess with it mid-mission

The glass is parallax-free, meaning you can stay on target with both eyes open, and you won’t get that annoying distortion when shifting your head. It’s fast, clean, and gets the job done.

Battery & Charging: Magnetic Power That Won’t Quit

Let’s be honest—batteries are the Achilles’ heel of most red dots. The last thing you need is a dead sight when it matters. Osight fixes that problem with a built-in 170 mAh Li-Po battery that lasts forever (well, almost):

Up to 57,000 hours of runtime at the third brightness level

Motion Sensor Auto Shut-Off after 10 minutes of inactivity

But here’s where it gets really cool: the magnetic charging cover. Not only does it protect your optic, but it doubles as a wireless power bank—fully charging the sight up to three times before you even need to plug it in. That’s a game-changer.

What’s in That Awesome Box? EVERYTHING You’ll Need To Get Up and Running Including Extra Screws

Additional Features: Battle-Ready and Built for Real-World Use

If you’re buying a cheap, flimsy red dot, this isn’t for you. The Osight X was made to take abuse and keep going.

Motion Activation: Turns on the moment it senses movement—zero lag when you need it.

IPX6 Waterproofing: Because rain and dirt shouldn’t be a death sentence for your gear.

Shock Resistance: Can handle high-caliber recoil and still hold zero.

Final Verdict: Is the Osight X Worth It?

If you want a gimmicky toy, keep looking. If you need a serious red dot that works when it matters most, the Osight X is one of the best new optics on the market.

Rock-solid construction? Check.

Insane battery life? Yep.

Mounting flexibility? Absolutely.

Glass clarity and multiple reticles? Hell yes.

The Osight X is built for shooters who demand reliability and performance—not fluff. Get one, mount it up, and run it hard.

I can’t wait to get this out on the range!
