I've got one of those fibre optic sights on the front of a shotgun - bright orange dot wherever you look, works great. Think I got it from Reloaders, comes in different lengths to fit various sight...

I have a mate with a Grendel and i have something very close to one (same calibre and similar velocities) both kill deer well inside 350m. Having said that bigger is always more better

If its not in the bore, I wouldnt worry too much about it. If its covered by the supressor, I would steel wool the rust off, and then just paint it.

With all the interest in night vision, I thought it might be worth while posting a video showing the performance when shooting in mid-day sun. This video was shot using a PARD 008 at native 6x power...
