I couldnt shoot that well with one on a rifle or shotgun when I was shooting. I even managed too loose a one, out the door while shooting Went bare with the shotty and used a low power scope (german 4 reticule was my fav) on the rifle. A lot of the blokes I worked with or know, swear by aim point/red dot scopes for machine work. Greyghost would have wrecked a heap of them in his day.

I do have a wee cheap Bushnell red dot for my rifle. It is fast and plenty good enough to a 100 However deer look pretty small thru the thing beyond 50

I dunno mate. I did watch a mate of mine shoot clays quite well with our work gun which had one mounted, in Haast once. However he also would have wrecked a few of those sights in his time but. Hes done nearly 40 yrs on machines.

Would love to try one on the birds , but they look so fragile and what your saying ,would stop me buying one .

My one I got from Sinclairs was cheap but I had the same on a venny gun and its still going after 5 yrs as far as I know.
You would also possibly have to ruin a good gun by mounting one as well Munsey. Not worth it just for a play. Trust me shotguns used for aerial targets are not meant to have scopes.

Mines done a lot of pretty hard work now Munsey and still going fine.
The main use of the one I used on a shotgun was rabbits, whether that makes a difference I have no idea.
