I have astigmatism, which is worst in my shooting eye. As such, I don't care much for optics, but recently I came across this... thing:

It's a sight system that uses a block of fiber optic with a crosshair or triangle blacked out and a glass magnifier to enhance the image of the crosshair/triangle.

I've been looking at getting something for a few guns I have, but the issues people who have astigmatism have had with red dots has turned me off from that. I like that it doesn't require batteries and is small and looks quite robust.

Guns I'm looking to use this on are a shotgun and possibly a .308 bolt rifle (Savage Scout or Ruger Predator.) Cost is about $100 and there's a tritium option that I don't have any interest in.

Does anybody have any experience with this?
