EXPECTATIONS ON RED DOT

[russc2542]

-Were you shooting offhand or off a rest?
-Any time you switch to a new piece of hardware, there's an adjustment period. A red dot isn't fire and forget any more than a scope or irons, it just makes certain aspects of aiming easier (fewer planes of focus than irons, wider FOV and faster acquisition than a scope).
-Make sure the dot is in the center of the optic, while they say "no parallax, no focus", that's not entirely true and if you're off-center with the dot, the shots will wander.

In 2000 that was a decent group overall. The moa guarantee is new and most of the time is an outright lie.

You do realize this about the size of the dot not any kind of guarantee of group size.

I'm reasonably sure he's talking about the rifles and their "MOA guarantee" of today vs 20 years ago.

I expect you may be correct but that isn't what the post is about.

No it wasn't. It was about him only being 2 inch groups.
