Feyachi V30 2MOA review
A few weeks back I obtained a Feyachi V30 2MOA red dot sight to review. The advertising suggested that it was good for those who enjoy Airsoft. It took a bit but I did manage to test it on not only airsoft but some other platforms. All I really needed was a Picatinny rail and I was good to go. (Since it fits a standard 1913 Picatinny it should also fit the Weaver rail (20mm)). Having never used a red dot before I’ll go through it here much the way I did when I received the initial package.
Where I expected a mostly plastic item when I opened the box I was very happy to discover that it was made of a well machined heavy Aluminum. The black coating is perfect on the one I have. Everything is nice and tight when mounted and all I had to do to mount it was tighten a single screw with the supplied Allen wrench. The included instructions are clear and easy to follow. Nice.
Like all sights needed to be checked for accuracy and the Feyachi V30 2MOA comes with both elevation and windage adjustments. The adjusting screws are capped and Feyachi has built in a screwdriver for each cap. The adjustment range is stated to be ± 40 MOA. Each click of the adjustment is = to 1 MOA @ 50 yards.
The red dot that is reflected up into your field of view is fully adjustable over a range of 10 brightness factors – this should allow for ease of use regardless of lighting conditions or eyesight issues – I had no problem seeing the dot under my conditions in Florida. All the optics I can access are coated glass.
The low profile mount comes attached but the box also includes a .83 riser mound (mounts are held securely to the sight body by four screws) which aligns nicely with various options. (Including the Feyachi M36/37 red dot magnifier). Using the riser also gave a clear line of sight to my iron sights.
Besides the extra mount the box also contains two small wrenches, a spare battery and a couple of spare screws. Lens cleaning cloth, dust caps and an anti reflection cover to reduce glare and reflection. The dust caps are worth a special mention as they stayed open when the Airsoft was in use, no ‘surprise’ closing at the wrong moment. Everything you need to get started included. Very nice.
The light has on/off and up/down buttons that allow you to adjust the intensity of the dot with the last setting being held as default when the unit is turned off. There is also Motion Activated Illumination which will power up or down as needed but I rarely used this preferring to turn the unit on or off as needed and experienced no inconvenience doing so. Use the method you prefer.
Testing was both mounted and unmounted. We are in a foggy area and I left the unit exposed for a couple of nights with no signs of moisture intrusion – same for working in a light rain. Every thing is sealed nice and tightly – no leaks. Besides normal bumps and bangs (and recoil) I gave the V30 2MOA some really abusive drops and bangs to see if it would stay where set – it did every time. There were limits to my testing though, I did not toss the V30 2MOA off the roof or drive over it with my van. Still, the abuse I gave it was more than average and it not only survived but continues to perform well.
Besides Airsoft I tried it mounted on other platforms, including a .22 and with a friend up to a .223. No problems although I cannot say how many weeks a V30 2MOA can withstand such abuse. As long as the rail was secure and the V30 2MOA tightened to it properly there were no problems in use or maintaining settings. The Feyachi V30 2MOA is certified up to 800 g’s recoil impact.
Feyachi guarantees the Feyachi V30 2MOA for 3 years. So, the Feyachi V30 2MOA is tough, well made, accurate, fun and inexpensive. Very, very nice.
