Thread: AIMPOINT MICRO HI RED DOT.

All these RD's and Holographic are no good if you in the ageing or poor eyesight group
They do not have Dioptre adjustments
Correct me if wrong - but all I have seen - Docter - Holosun - Burris do not

But I reckon they are excellent with the right person for the suited application (close bush/snap shooting

If you need glasses for distance you need to wear those when using a red dot. Not really a problem as you are wise wearing something for eye protection. Optician can also correct for astigmatism which takes care of the starburst effect. I have slight astigmatism myself @Phil_H but so slight it's not worth correcting for. I just use the same area/corner of the astigmatism starburst as my aim.

Wearing glasses and using scopes is a PITA. I have to lift the glasses up to look through, I know you can adjust the focus on the scope but that never worked like I wanted. Now I use an Intermediate Eye Relief scope. Eye relief on these scopes is between a conventional and a scout scope, about 6in. For me they combine the best features of scout and conventional scopes. The downside is that they can be difficult to mount compared to a conventional scope.

I have no problem shooting with glasses on and looking over the top of them with normal Scopes
But I had to change my brand of Scope to ones that had better Diopter +

Cheers there sarvo..yeah I'm sure on the wrong side of the age fence but touch wood I do not have the need for glasses....yet?..
when it comes to hunting and lining up on whatever. Peering through the phone book is a different story lol.
If Phil's offer turns out then that would most certainly tell me one way or the other whether or not I would want to pursue the idea.

I could still use a Red Dot etc
But it looked like a shattered Star
So snap shooting on a Pig was no problem
Sighting in was more the issue
