What is the best accuracy you have achieved on a rifle ( not pistol), traditional or pcp, using just a red dot sight, at ranges 20 yards and beyond? What were your best groups and at what distance?
Short answer. Given a perfect hold and weapon, 1" at 50 yards. 2" at 100 yards.What is the best accuracy you have achieved on a rifle ( not pistol), traditional or pcp, using just a red dot sight, at ranges 20 yards and beyond? What were your best groups and at what distance?
Shot sparrows at 15 yards and got a starling at 30. I'd say accurate to 50 maxWhat is the best accuracy you have achieved on a rifle ( not pistol), traditional or pcp, using just a red dot sight, at ranges 20 yards and beyond? What were your best groups and at what distance?
I am perfectly aware. I might have worded my question wrong, I am mostly interested to see what kind of groups are possible, what is an average for most people so that I can compare them with mine.The accuracy of the rifle doesn't depend on what type of aiming device is mounted on it so not sure what you're really asking. This is more of a "how far can you SEE to aim accurately" question I guess. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, the 2 moa red dot will probably go on a heavy springer and hoping for 1 inch groups at 40 yards, 1/4 " at 25 yards. Pigeons and iguanas will be my pray. I know the rifle can do close to 1/4 inch at 43 yards with a scope.Short answer. Given a perfect hold and weapon, 1" at 50 yards. 2" at 100 yards.
Are you shooting moving targets? Seems a waste to put one on otherwise.
Curious.

If you have an astigmatism you can also place a peep sight behind the red dot and peer at it through there and cure the starburst. You also benefit from knowing your head is in the same spot from shot to shotYeah, as noted, buy a dot sight with a 2moa dot...no matter what brand you buy. A 50yrd., 1" group pretty easily is possible...depending on...you and your gun.
I'm a fan of Holosun. I have a few brands, and different models of each brand...Holosun, Vortex, Sig Sauer, Trijicon, Meprolight, Burris, Aimpoint .
So yeah, I have some experience with a few different brands.
Also note, if you have an astigmatism, the dot will..."not be round". It's NOT...the sights fault !
And, you can easily make a non-round dot work...by paying attention to the target, NOT the dot !!
Also...don't forget the "prism" scopes. Eye problems do NOT hinder Prism scopes. Well maybe if you have the ol coke bottle lenses !!
