Hi -
I'm Shooting an Umarex Notos .22 - I already own a MidTen scope/red dot/laser combo optic - and I'm alright with it, just while in the process of upgrades of the barrel & plenum in search of the usual goals we all 'shoot' for, I'm thinking ahead to when I'll be hopefully stretching the distance into something that may require more precision & capabilities, just still within a reasonable price range - I'm not shooting .50 cal. sniper rifle at high value targets, by any means. I'm really impressed with the reviews & specs of the UTG BugBuster scope & looks like that'd be a great fit for my purposes - but I'd hate to lose the fast-targeting red dot as I've found it to be super quick and easy for closer range shots.
My question is, aside from the very inexpensive combos like the MidTen or even Pinty with both in one (or laser also), I never see higher end scopes made as combos, which to me, implies it isn't a common thing. Probably for accuracy/weight reasons, just my guess. Given that, does anyone have the same preference of utilizing red dot for 10-20 yd shots in the field for the quick aim & fire it allows, and a reticle scope for more precise longer-range shots? If so, how would you combine the two, either via scope rings with a short pic rail, adapters, etc? Or are my thoughts based on a lack of experience with other optics? I'm doing most of my mods for the very purpose of precision to a distance while opting for lighter, shorter length barrel so it's also capable of the spur of the moment shot in the woods. Any help is greatly appreciated & hope everyone is well. Thank you -
