multigun/3 gun competition

just wondering what sights you use. i see most guys using a 1-4x but the ranges seem so short that a reflex would do fine.

The 1-4X is slower up close but nice for longer shots. I like both.

A dot is great, until you get to the 350yd stage. A lot of shooters like a 4MOA dot, and at 350 yards, that would completely subtend a 12" target. I use iron sights.

yea i've seen that docter side mounted like that a couple times. not too bad if i say so myself. never done a 3 gun so i'm just not sure what the average dist for the rifle is. i'd assume anywhere from 10-350m?

Many club matches are short range, basically pistol matches with a long gun. Those are ok with 1x. Stick with those, fine. However, I just shot the Larue match - out to 440 yds. Set the 1.1-4x to 4x for that one.

Just a note - Having a scope and a dot will put you in Open division. It is possible to add open sights on an angle mount, and stay in Tactical.

hey jmorris, where did you get that mount?

There is no mount it's just a cmore off one of my open pistols bolted directly to the FF tube.

I intended to put it on a rail but that would have put it too high. As it is you just rotate the rifle with the same cheek weld to go from one to the other.
