This is a review of Review of Frenzy Flex 1x24x29 Multi-Reticle Red Dot Sight (SCRD-M76) from Jani Nordman.

Finally, we have more options than just the 6 MOA version, for us who don't like the 6 MOA dot size! But there are some weird decisions made with this model that I can't figure out who asked for them or needs them. So, you get a 2MOA Dot, 64MOA Circle, and 82MOA Crosshair, the latter I have no idea why it was added or who would use it and for what? If you know, let me know in the comments!

The 2 MOA dot works well for me as I prefer a smaller dot that doesn't distract me from my targets, as the big dot does, but this is, of course, a personal preference, and if you prefer the 6 MOA, see the link below for that model!

The circle + dot works well for PCC shooters as you get the 2 MOA dot in the middle for accuracy and the 64 MOA circle around for better target acquisition. This is preferred for PCC as the lower part of the 64 MOA circle is used for close-range targeting.

The circle-only reticle is good for shotgun shooters; it has no other real usage, at least I can't see it being used for anything else. But this is good, as shotgun competitions are becoming more popular, at least here, I know it's already been popular in countries where shotguns are the only weapon civilians are allowed to own, so there is now a small red dot with a big window and reticle for this use case!

Lastly, the 82 MOA cross, with no middle dot, is the oddball. Who asked for this? And who would use it? I've shown it to over 30 sport shooters, including a world champion shotgun shooter, and none of them like it or wouldn't use it on anything, so I have no idea. As before, if you know, let me know!

As the other parts are similar to the 6 MOA model, I'll use parts of that review here:

The glass

The window is BIG! I mean 24mm x 29mm big, which is bigger than some competitors. Now, do you need a window this big? Like almost all my reviews now, the answer is: It depends. Do you need it if you just go to the range to shoot 50 rounds a month and never shoot anything other than static shooting? No. Are you planning to shoot competitively and need all the advantages, and weight and size are not a factor, then yes. Like with the other new models, the window is aspheric, so you get less blue(ish) tint, there is a tiny bit of distortion at the edges, but not enough to be too noticeable when shooting.

Housing

Nice that the new norm is the 7075-T6 aluminum; this is good news for those fearing that if they drop their gun, the optic will surely be destroyed, but as 7075-T6 is almost twice as strong as the previous models made from 6061-T6, the chances of the optic being damaged are much lower. I like that this model removes any extra bulk, there is enough to be strong and rigid, but it's not bulky, but you can't have a dot this big, without some drawback, and the weight can be one, at 50 grams you might have to make some changes to the recoil spring so that your pistol runs and continues to run without any issues, contact the manufacturer of your gun if you have doubts about this.

This model doesn't come with a rubber cover for the dot. Why not? I have no idea; they must not cost more than a few cents to make, and every other smaller open dot comes with one. Why is the cover important, not just to protect the red dot while transporting but for any competitive shooter who waits for their turn to shoot and it's raining, the red dot in a holster becomes a spoon for collecting water, and when it's their turn to shoot, you'll have a starburst of dots in the glass. Also, the cover is very useful when cleaning the gun, so you don't get dirt, oil, or any other material in the emitter or glass. Also good to have the dot covered in the gun safe, so the dot doesn't just collect dust. I've raised this point to Vector Optics, so let's see if we get one in the future. For now, I suggest you use something else to cover the dot in the meantime with a DIY solution.

Key features

There are, as expected, the usual features that we now take as granted: big buttons for brightness control, and the brightness being bright enough for outside use in sunlight. Auto shutoff with shake awake. Battery compartment (that looks like a frog) on the side, taking a CR1632 battery, for those not too familiar with red dots, why is this important, well not the frog part, but the side compartment, it means that when you need to change the battery, you don't have to remove the red dot from the gun to change the battery at the bottom like you used to have to do with many models, this would be a really bad thing if you'd have to do it during competition as the dot never returns to zero this could cost you the whole competition.

Final words

This model, I believe, will be a big seller in the competition scene. It offers great value for money, robust build quality, a lifetime warranty, and a big window.
