red dot ???

[beerthief]

Is there any difference in Frustration with a red dot , sighting it in or holding POI , that is less money ($36 on Amazon ) or a $200 one ? I have a tube type red dot and it works on target except trying to find the dot in that window and the squirrel has long gone . OR is this a muscle memory thing ?

Absolutely love this Hawke red dot. Reasonably priced, often on sale, and work pretty damn good, imo.
I have a couple really cheap Amazon red dots, they work so so, wherein the performance of this one, I've replaced scopes on a couple guns with them..

I have several feyachi (v90? ) red dots. They are $60 on amazon. One is on a 50 cal and it works great. I also have a Holosun, but I wouldn't get another because I don't think its worth $300 more than a budget red dot.

Muscle memory will definitely play a role, and for the good if you have a good place for cheek weld and consistent hold (so when you bring the rifle up and shouldered the center of the scope is centered with the eye). If you are shouldering the rifle and hunting for the dot, and hunting for the game or target, then you likely need to move either the cheek.piece or scope up or down.

One way to tell is to the shoulder the rifle several times with your eyes closed. Then shoulder it and open them. The scope should be centered when you open your eyes. If not, either raise it or lower it with the mounting rings, a cheek.piece, or work out a different memorized hold. I read that it takes about 63 repetitions to develop muscle memory.

Romeos are around $120. The dot is noticably smaller than the cheap ones advertising same dot size.
