Thread: Red dots pros and cons

Bought an Aimpoint years ago when they were the best part of $1000, still got it but broken, best unit ever on a .375 Win lever gun for stags in heavy bush...shot a sika stag two hours after chopper landed with it...shot many since. You can hold dot on animal with your peripheral vision while searching straight ahead...had this happen once when younger stag approached me from the side while I was looking for another stag straight ahead, put the dot on him and kept looking ahead, as soon as he spotted me I decked him. Moving from clearing to bush, light to dark and back again one needs to continually keep rotating intensity of dot. On a pump shotgun shooting possums, nothing is as quick to drop them from a perch.
