This gives you a more complicated and versatile reticle. These more versatile reticles can make shooting at longer distances easier and allow for better close quarters combat shooting.
Reflex sights are simple devices that are both more accurate and faster to use than iron sights. Unlike a standard variable scope they feature 0 magnification. These 1x optics are typically shorter and lighter than a standard optic. A reflex sight can serve a variety of roles, as long as those roles involve close quarters shooting. Most reflex sights are limited to yards or so in the standing position.
Some reflexive sights can be combined with magnifying devices to increase their effective range. What guns are best used with a reflex sight? On a modern carbine like the AR 15 a reflexive sight can be used for quite efficiently. On close range weapons like a shotgun a red dot is the best possible optic choice. When you picture a reflex sight you are likely picturing a full sized model.
They are roughly the same height and width as a standard variable scope just a lot shorter. A miniature red dot can be mounted to almost any firearm , including a handgun.
These optics are so small that when mounted to a handgun they can still be carried concealed. Miniature red dots can also be used as a backup option with a standard variable optic. Meaning you can be rocking a x optic for long range shooting and have a miniature red dot mounted to the optic or on an offset mount for close quarters shooting. MOA is important to consider when you choose a weapons platform or have a particular intention in mind.
The larger the MOA the better suited the optic is for shooting at fast at close ranges. The larger the reticle the faster it is for you to pick it up with your eyes.
Smaller reticles are used for longer range shooting because they cover less of the target. Batteries — Whenever we talk tactical electronics we have to consider the battery type. Ruggedness — Depending on your end goal you really need to consider just how reliable and rugged your optic is. Can it take a place of water? Can it be fully submerged? How does it deal with shock and recoil? While a warranty may cover a lot of issues the last thing you want is for your optic to die when you need it most.
Research it folks. Magnifier Compatibility — Not all reflex sights are going to be completely compatible with a magnifier. A little research goes a long way. If it seems like a future consideration go ahead and make sure your reflex sight will rock and roll with a magnifier.
It has a 25 mm objective lens and is made of aircraft grade aluminum. The system is powered with a CR lithium battery that can last for 5 years of continuous use. The Trijicon MRO can be submerged to 30 meters and keep kicking. It can withstand the recoil of shotguns, rifles, and more. The MRO also features a variety of different settings. You get 5 standard daylight settings, 1 super bright setting, and 2 night vision settings.
The Trijicon MRO is lightweight and compact yoo. While the Trijicon MRO is built to last and is an absolute tank its not a cheap optic.
This optic is compact, but will function with a magnifier. Read our full review here. This makes it a full sized optic. The sight has a — hour battery life, uses a CR2 battery, and has a hour auto-shutdown feature.
A unique feature that is included with the Aimpoint Pro is the torque-limiting knob that prevents you from overtightening the sight of your weapon. The sight has a 30,hour battery life that allows you to always keep your sight on for quick access.
It is available from Palmetto State Armory. The sight comes with 3 manual brightness modes and an automatic brightness mode with a low battery indicator. With a Picatinny mount, you can quickly attach your sight to any rail-mounted system on your pistol, shotgun, or rifle.
The sight comes with. It is available from Optics Planet. To provide excellent sight picture and eye relief, the Holosun HSC is designed to be parallax free. The reflex sight has a few excellent features, such as shake awake, which is a motion sensor to turn on your sight when movement is detected.
The battery has a 50,hour battery life which is roughly 5 years of power off one CR battery. A cool feature is that it comes with a quick-release mount for fast storage after a day of shooting.
The reticle has 8 different brightness levels to provide pinpoint aim in different lighting environments. The sight allows for quick acquisition of your target with unlimited eye relief, and it includes a patented motion sensor technology that detects movement for maximum battery life.
With motion sensor technology, the sight automatically powers up and down based on detected movement. The 2 MOA red dot reticle is parallax free and can be adjusted at. This advanced sight can be attached to various weapons to include: carbines, assault rifles, shotguns, and even air rifles.
The reason I ask is that I have two Vortex reflex sights. One on my handgun which is co-witnessed with iron sights and one on my turkey gun. The one on my turkey gun crapped the bed on a hunt due to the recoil of the 12ga 3. That Benelli SBE kicks worse than my Vortex replaced the optic and I have had no problems since. Now turkey is hardly DG, but I lost my only optic after my first shot no worries, the turkey was dead. I think to myself, would I want to be fumbling with a QD mount when the seconds really count as a big nasty closes the distance if the same were to occur with a big bore rifle?
Bronze supporter. AH fanatic. A, Namibia. Realistically, the PHs with you would take care of a charge in that very tiny likelihood. Buy something with a good reputation for ruggedness and use it a lot before taking it to Africa to make sure it doesn't fail prematurely.
If it did fail over there and you were in the middle of taking several species of DG, I'd just remove it at camp and sight in with my iron sights. Postoak - I am certain you are correct, that the PH would step in and do his job. Problem is - it's my job to be as prepared as possible. From practicing off sticks and different shooting positions to having the proper equipment for the hunt. Being able to control the things you can and be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best is what I believe is my job as a client.
If there is a way to co-witness sights on a DG caliber rifle, I will do my best to find it. That is the only option I have really seen that will work the way I would like.

They are cheap and have a reputation for soaking up recoil that may or not extend to the DG rifles. Every class of gun has it's peculiarities, as pointed out about the turkey gun above. I may put one on my 9. The one thing I am writing to mention is that as a reflex sight, if you have astigmatism you will see multiple aiming points. I have bad enough astigmatism in my left eye that I should wear glasses, my right eye at least into my late 50s is OK enough that I don't wear glasses.
I didn't realize I had an astigmatism in it, until I bought one of these sights. First I put a chinese sight on a. The TRS is usable for me. But just something to look into before you drop heavy cash on one of the fancier sights that might also be less than perfect.
Again, nothing in my life prepared me for this, as having astigmatism to the degree I do has not created any odd optical effects other than the left eye being somewhat blurry.

The one on my Springfield Armory XD has endured several hundred rounds with no problems as well. Haven't lost zero with either after initial sighing in, but that one failure However, If I was going to mount a reflex sight on anything other then a black gun.
I would buy the Zeiss. Trijicon makes a very popular one. Last edited: Mar 11, Tokoloshe Safaris Sponsor. Since I like the trijicon she likes the aimpoint although she shoots the Rubicon well. At the end of the day I will be going to the leupold due to the reason you do not have to remove from the base to change batteries.
Tokoloshe Safaris said:. Rule AH fanatic. Bit late chiming in with my 2cents worth. I run an Aimpoint L on my Rigby. The Aimpoints are non magnifying sights, though you can get attachments to do this but I wouldn't bother as there are draw backs. Some things to check out.
