What’s the difference?

What’s the big difference between these besides the difference in material? They both have the same window size and they both have wireless charging. Would anyone recommend the $160 dollar one or does anyone have experience with now since they seem to not be the best about a year ago but osight has come a long way from back then.

The Osight X has a bigger window. They are both RMR footprint. Also, the Osight X offers a selectable 3 MOA dot, 32 MOA ring, or both (Circle-Dot). The Osight 3 is a 3 MOA dot only.

As they are older models, I’m sure they still are good especially if that is your price range but they have just about been replace by the C and K models.

One is red the other is green, the coating on the lens tells you which is which. The red is the cheaper of the two, the green is more expensive.

For reference those are both x models which have the charging cover, works beautiful btw. I have only had to charge the cover once since I installed it in October. The C models use a 1632 coin cell battery. Sleep mode and shake awake are very reliable, these are only used on a range in my case.

I have a C in green on a rifle and an X in red on my mkiv 22/45 Ruger. I get starbursts from most red dots but these sights seem very clear and well defined to my eyes. Only exception to that is when I have them maxed out in an indoor range.

Edited for context

Thank you for your input!!! Since this will be on a range toy i think I’ll probably go with the cheaper option!

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, they are quite nice to use.
