Depends on what you're doing I suppose?

When will they learn?

>y is the only reticle I've heard about the best so I don't get confused with different options

Get irons you physically won't be able to see past 200 with the stigs regardless

This one is literally the worst. I have an MTAC and that thick ass ring obscures everything and does nothing but get in the way.

I've personally moved away from circle dots and horseshoes to fine crosshairs. Fine illuminated center dot and BDC or mil subtensions are bonuses depending on what I'm using the scope for. The cross lines and venter illumination do a fine job of drawing the eye to the center without blocking a bunch of shit the way thick circles and horseshoes do.

Vortex Razor and Viper 2 JM1 and VMR-2 are good examples.

You clearly do not understand how astigmatism works.
I've hit little Ivans at 500 meters with my issued Aimpoint.

>>34318646
Messy shit. Just give me a decent mil dot or a single fine crosshair or post. This clustered up shit is annoying.

Sure. Sub moa shooting with an aiming point larger than the target.

If you did so it was blind luck. But you did not.

Sorry you suck.

>when you're short so they range you too far away and shoot harmlessly overhead

>>34318646
Not a big fan of BDCs. They're never right, so you end up still having to memorize specific impact points for your given load.

I'd rather take something crisp like the MOAR or SM1.

>>34318646
Get a PRISM sight/scope because of your astigmatism. Stick with Vortex/Primary arms, I have a PA 3x ACSS and it works great on the AR platform. Get whatever sight style you like.

Enlighten us how to consistently hit a target when the aiming point of your reticle is larger than that target and you literally can't see any part of what you're aiming at.

At best you're covering the target with the reticle and hoping you hit.

denerate mutants should not be allowed to live, not to mention handle firearms.

Iron sights must just drive you nuts.
However, since you asked, I will give you the answer.
First, I didn't say "consistently". I had about a 50/50 split. Not bad for a CCO on a breezy day, but not great. I would much rather have an ACOG at that range.
Second, holdover, my guy. About 1/2 an Ivan, and watching the dust carefully to gauge the wind.

I am not claiming it was easy, nor am I saying that an unmagnified optic is the best tool for such a job. I am saying it is doable.

Night of broken glasses when?

>Horseshoe anything
>best reticle
Nice joke OP.

>Iron sights must just drive you nuts.

So you don't know how to use those either....and were not taught to shoot a six o clock hold with iron sights.

Long range bullshit from you anon.

5.56 round is usually traveling about 1,200 fps at 500 yards. About on par with a .22 lr round at 100 yards.

So you understand classic target shooting sight pictures, but can't comprehend stretching a red Dot's legs. Ok.

>>34324532
But m192 drop at 500 yards is nearly 5 feet at the zero is at 25 meters so you are holding a 4moa four or five inches with at that distance a 2o inch dot

No wind or incline to add to the tale, one handed, offhand....?

Please continue?

>>34324615
four foot holdover on a 20 inch dot at 500 with 50 inch drop yards with no magnification = blind luck or lies

>>34324615
And this was in full gear in the heat was it?

>>34324663
M855 drops around ten feet from muzzle at 500.
>>34324699
M68 has a 2 moa dot, and prone.
Anyway, think what you want. You can reach out with a dot, but it is not easy.
To get back to the point of the thread, BDCs on red dots are nice, I guess, but if you are at a range to use them, you are at a range where a magnified optic would be a better choice. Overall, I think that low-magnification optics with a fairly simple BDC is the best choice for a multipurpose rifle. It seems that the DoD agrees, but then the military has a somewhat checkered history when it comes to making decisions about small arms.
