I've got a vortex spitfire Gen 2 prism on my .223 at the moment. It seems the perfect compromise for my use. 3x magnification, 1moa etched/illuminated dot, and the entire optic is smaller and lighter...

I run a red dot on my .357 lever action. Wicked for what I use it for but have had to let the odd mob go that I would have comfortably shot with my scoped 223

I find them alright out to maybe a couple hundred metres - though it depends on how good your eyesight is. Beyond 200m, I don't feel comfortable that I'm getting a precise enough point of aim. ...

If you're hunting open country forger it mate, they're great for bush and small clearings.

I've used one a bit. Had no issues wth it, all shots within 50 metres tho. Then we changed to a holographic and that was even nicer to use. Dont ask me the difference, cos I dont really know. And my...
