Thread: 1x or reddot on a budget

Having issues shooting treebears foutside my front door with the 3-9 currently on my JW15 shorty. Any recommendations for an elcheapo shortrange ooptric for very low light conditions?

even a pure laser will do.

12gauge.....

ha i wish, right on the edge of urbania so rather stick to very slow heavy .22s

i have a red dot for sale, 1X power still in box and unused . ranger brand. fits a weaver base. retail 249, sell 150
i am going to sell a dove-weaver adapter in the next few days

Is the dovetail to weaver an 11mm dovetail? If so, and if Konev isn't interested. I'll buy that and the red-dot off you.

.....whose bullets will travel further than shot after passing through the wee beastie?

Maybe a subsonic .22 Short with its lighter bullet is safer for some furtive urban pest control. Main thing either way, don't be seen, and don't miss.

Arms Act 1983 extract - they can do you over at a very low threshold:

48 Discharging firearm, airgun, pistol, or restricted weapon in or near dwellinghouse or public place
Every person commits an offence and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 months or to a fine not exceeding $3,000 or to both who, without reasonable cause, discharges a firearm, airgun, pistol, or restricted weapon in or near—
(a) a dwellinghouse; or
(b) a public place,—
so as to endanger property or to endanger, annoy, or frighten any person.

Note the word ANY person - including any mad hysterical nutter. You still carry the can.

22 birdshot??

for the record becaus epeopple are reading into one comment to much, shooting into a large unoccupied hill with no stock from the edge of urbania.

Have a Bushnell trs-25 red dot if you want it, the gold label one, $170 tyd. Comes with a riser mount adapter if you ever want to use it on a .22AR or a Troy Par.
They are a nice sight for the money.
