Went to the gun shop recently and asked to see an Aimpoint RDS for a purchase. Oh god, it's blurry. Told the seller, turns out he knows the problem: fuck me I have astigmatism. (and on eye only, my dominant eye)

What are my other options for close quarters?

Caveman EOTech. Works great. Is cheap. It's terrific!
>>
>>32954521
Go see an optometrist maybe you need glasses.
>>
>>32954521
Bet you didn't look through a T2.
>>
>>32954558
I think I do, I just don't want any. Not yet at least.

>>32954560
My right eye is fucked, serious. I realized that after seeing a doubled dot, all blurred. It's not the T2's fault.

Get a DI Optical RV2 or EG1.
Dot is 1.5 MOA and very crisp

>I don't want
It's not about what you want, you fucking queer. It's about what you need. Also, there are contact lenses for astigmatism.
>>
>>32954577
Just get a 1-6 scope. Good enough for cqb.

The EG1 and FC1 are prismatic red dots, which are better for people with astigmatism
>>
Polarized sunglasses help, or get a 1x prism scope

Primary arms sells a red dot with an EOtech like reticle that looks great even with my astigmatism

My aimpoint pro looks kind of like a starburst indoors for me too.
>>
vortex and leupold make 1x prisms. the leupold is used by my county SERT team, and its nice. trijicon makes 1.5x acogs which would also work.

finally, 1-6 or 1-4 power scopes. bigger and heavier but options for magnification
>>
>>32954521
You want a prismatic sight or a scope. I have shit astigmatism too. I went Monstrum Tactical. They look cheesy, but are cheap, hold zero, and are more crisp than my old EO Tech and my dad's aimpoints. Give them a look.
>>
>>32954521
How blurry? I have a mild astigmatism, and still use an Aimpoint T1. If I put it on the higher settings, it will completely wash out, but at lower settings its still functional. Just not ideal.

You could try a low power scope, maybe a 1x prism? I'm kind of curious about them, but worry about eye relief, bulk, and weight.

>>32954590
This. You NEED glasses or contacts. Quit being a retard who's afraid of looking like a nerd. The glasses won't cost anymore than an optic , and will be a bigger help to your shooting anyway.

>>32955356
On mine, ifI look at the dot through my phone its nice and clear. With or without glasses, its a starburst.
>>
>>32954521
If you use a total cowitness with a ghostring suurounding the dot it tends to help. Also, wear polarized glasses
>>
>>32957266
Any model in particular?
>>
I have an astigmatism and wear glasses. Small MOA dots look blurry but eotech style ones look fine. I just deal with it

Buy a shotgun. Duckbill choke, #4 buckshot, you can't miss.

>he fell for the close quarter optics meme
Why op? Just caveman eotech your front sight post. Aim with only ak bunny ears and u will be able to defend yourself faster than u would having to turn on a optic/adjust it. I dont see why people fall for the shilling
