So, whether you’re looking for an optic for home defense or just something to take out those evil paper targets at the range, a red dot is a great choice. When it comes to optics for shooting enemies before they shoot you at close to mid-ranges, nothing beats a red dot sight. I will…” Marine Scanning for Targets in Fallujah Iraq I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. Introduction: In the Marine Corps Rifleman Creed it says, “Without me, my rifle is useless. Want to Learn More Before You Decide? Keep reading. AT3 Tactical Reflex Red Dot (Best Under $100) EOTech 512 Holographic Sight (Editor’s Choice) Maybe with all the down times that is why I’m even taking the time on something like this haha. I haven’t had a chance to shoot a match with mine yet as we have had our matches shut down since March and I just picked up this pistol. I’ve also heard people say they use 12 MOA and have no issues. I love the Vortex brand, I use their glass on nearly all of my rifle builds. But for what I do, how often I do it and the limited budget I have. Then I get confused.įor now I think I will just try to get to B class in Carry Optics with my Venom 3 MOA and then if I want to go further from there invest in a CZ and high end optic. But then I have had some M tell me that they shoot something like 12 or 12.5 with a triangle dot. Part of me wants to get a Venom 6 MOA b/c everyone says the 6 is the best. However, I started with a Viper 6 MOA and liked it a lot but found some good deals on Venom's 3 MOA and liked how you can adjust them different from the Viper and how you didn't have to take the optic off to change the battery.įor me, I have not noticed a big difference, even at a sunny match but so far I have only shot one with 3 MOA and only did about a dozen with the Viper 6 MOA. I went the cheap but unlimited warranty route as I am just a C shooter in Carry Optics and do not invest a lot of time in it.
Unfortunately not many people shoot carry optics that I have seen at our matches, so I haven’t been able to fondle anything else yet.
I just really want the manual controls and while buying another I thought I would go for the upgraded version. I was aware of the non auto adjust on type 2.
Read the manual to understand how to switch between modes and how to lock modes. PPS, RMRs with manually-adjustable brightness also have an auto-brightness feature and that's what they default to when you turn them on. It means the battery compartment and contacts have been redesigned to prevent loss of contact with the battery under the severe G forces that a slide-mounted optic is subjected to. PS, "Type 2" does not mean an RMR has manually adjustable brightness. BTW, the SRO has the same exact footprint as the RMR. IF you decide you want to buy something else, skip the manually-adjustable RMR and go straight to a 5 MOA SRO.
The auto-adjust feature in RMRs works very well outdoors. The 6.5 MOA dot is damned near perfect for action pistol sports. So it wouldn’t be frame mounted.īefore you sink any money into anything, go shoot a few matches. I’m not sure if an RMR is bright enough to be used at 3.25 as you mentioned.
I’m looking to upgrade to a Type 2 RMR but I’m just having trouble with dot size. So right now I have a 6.5 MOA RMR that is non adjustable.
