Thread: Red dot for hunting

A couple of thoughts on red dots. I've tried both the tube type and holographic and keep going back to a 1-4x20mm scope some wit an illuminated dot in them. With them on 1x and both eyes open it is like shooting a red dot but when needed you can crank them up to 4x and do some pretty exact work with them. on 1x the FOV is so large that shooting flushing birds/rabbits is quite possible. I use the 1-4x20mm scopes on all my drillings and combination guns. Most red dot are quite high and you need to build up the comb of the stock.

After the experiences I've had with them it's good to see they work well for others.

If you have an illuminated reticle in your scope turn the illumination to maximum fit the objective lens cover so you cant see through the scope.
Now aim the rifle with both eyes open you have a red dot scope for the tight stuff.
Its witchcraft and black magic.

That is something I am going to have to try, thanks I would never have thought of that.

You can thank SOCOM for the idea, probably has a sophisticated acronym to go with it.

I have an Armson OEG that I used on a paintball gun. They're actually very handy. Very quick target acquisition and shooting with both eyes open, from either shoulder, since there's no left or right eye dominance to compete with. Precise enough with practice.
