Because of where & how we hunt Red Dots are about all we use. Have 2 of the new Micros, one on a .35 Rem and one on a O/U 45-70, also have 2 Bushnell Trophys, one on a .243 Win Single shot and one on a rifled 20 ga barrel for the same action. And there are 2 old Tasco Pro Points, one on a TC Contender .44 mag and one that is on a SXS Rifled 20ga.

We hunt thick woods & swamps, both sitting in portable stands and stalking. Almost everything we shoot is closer than 50 yards, the great proportion under 25 yards.

One really nice thing about a Red Dot, beyond the fact that you shoot it with both eyes open just as you would a peep sight which makes for quick target aquisition, is the UNLIMITED EYE RELIEF. You can literally twist around in almost any direction with the gun any distance from you and so long as the dot is on the target you're good to go.

That is a very useful thing at times..........
