Reflex Sight/Red Dot Sight, whatever you prefer to call it, I ordered one from DealExtreme HERE, I ordered and paid for it on Tuesday, the 5th of April and arrived today, Monday the 18th, not bad as I took their Free Air Mail option over another $20 for Express post.
The Photos, taken with my HTC Desire HD (not bad Image quality I thought).
The Stampede, to the keen few, you'll notice a 9KG spring, a 4xAA Battery Sled and my Flashlight attachment, using Duct tape, later this week I'll properly fasten the flashlight to the Recon Flip-up sight base using a clamp. Just waiting on my 14500 unprotected Li-on's to come in from DX to mod the insides according to SGNerf's guide.
One issue with the Reflex sight is mounting it, whilst in the photos it looks to mount nicely, unfortunately the rail mount is a little too wide and as such, is a little loose, however this is better than finding it's too small to fit the rail forcing me to file/cut the rail apart, at this stage I think I might try and put a little glue under the rail and let it set, to "fatten" the rail, I would rather not glue the sight to the rail because I would like the sight to be removable for storage and transport. Ideas on what else I could do?
Other than this small issue, the sight works great, even in the bright sunshine, it's a very sunny and fine day in Sydney today and I took it out *almost* aimed at the sun and I could see the red dot clearly, contrary to the reviews on DX. For ~$30 plus ~$20 shipping if you want it in a couple of days, I highly recommend this sight for Nerf weapons, just as long as you have a bit more ingenuity than I do and can figure out a way to snugly mount the sight so it won't fall off in the heat of battle.

| The package and the box | Unboxing | The sight with cover on and tools in the background | First look- front view | Rear View, the switch | Aiming down the sight, switched off | Physical size of the sight, not very big | Aiming down the sight, switched on, don't let the dot position fool you, when aiming down an RDS, you need to look at it straight on and the dot positions in the centre |

| Overall, thanks to the very nice abstract painting Mum made for me, it's hard to make out the Reflex sight, just look a little closer | Flashlight & Reflex Sight | Reflex Sight mounted, close-up |
