Rifles
I placed a scope on my remington 760 and feel it looks ungainly. I use this gun in moderate to thick woods in PA. Now I'm rethinking my decision. Has anyone out there used the newer Red Dot sights? I have a brochure from Trijcon that advertises a very small red dot sight and it looks small and efficient. A buddy purchased an inexpensive red dot scope sight from Bariska(?) and mounted it on his Ruger .22 pistol. We took it out and shot better than ever with that pistol. I assume it will work well on a woods rifle too.
What do you guys think?
Red dot scopes are the best, hands down. I've used scopes, I've done 7 months of iron sights in Iraq, and I've used a red dot on my ol' Ruger Mini-14 Ranch now for about a year, and it's the most versatile! Acquiring the target is hands down the fastest. On a brush gun, it's all there is. My best shot so far: possum in the chicken coop at zero-dark-thirty a few months ago, flashlight in the left hand where I gripped the forestock and red dot site on. The pullet was in his teeth and I drilled him with the Ruger! One shot, one kill! And this is a CHEAP BSA site, doesn't even lose its zero! Semper Fi.
on a brush gun it probably is the best way to go. A lot of brush gun like mini 14 and sks don't have the best accuracy with open sights if you have to make a quick follow up shot because of recoil but with a red dot it is easy to get back on target for that 2nd shot.
Pep Sights not a good idea but Red Dot great for low light provided your batteries don’t die!!! My Leopold and Sightron 3x9x40ish works fantastic!!!!!!!!!
Fiber optics may be a choice?
I like the infinite eye relief of the red dot sight.
very true. also a good red dot scope is not nearly as expensive as a highend rifle scope.
I put a Tasco red dot sight on a Ruger 10/22, and that was the very best squirrel combination I've ever owned. I gave my son the rifle as a gift, and he opted for a telescopic sight because the requirement of switching the dot on and off was inconvenient for him. Each to their own taste, but it really was the best combo I'd found for the standing offhand shots on small game. I've no doubt it would be an excellent choice on a more powerful rifle in thick growth for deer.
Thanks guys! Based upon the votes from the crowd it seems like a no-brainer.
Can any one please tell me if you can use any Tasco Red Dot scope on a air rifel
