100 yards with iron sights, group marked in orange (I was doing a lot of different things with the same target)...
100 yards with the scope (at 100 yards, I should be 0.5" high with my current zero at 225 yards)...
50 yards, green and yellow groups (upper left and bottom right) are with the scope (at 50 yards, I should be 1.1" low with my current zero at 225 yards), orange groups (top right and lower left) are with irons...ignore the blue ones, some settings were off on my sights for that one.
I'm beginning to understand why our boys in the military use the irons. I love scopes, but I have to say, if I were in a defensive situation, I'd rather have the irons. I can definitely see a huge speed advantage with the iron's...target acquisition is substantially quicker, and tiny movements are far less distracting. I'll have to give one of the non magnified sighting systems a try down the road.
Scopes are for hunting anyway... (or sniping)
ReplyDelete:-P That's the reason most of the red dot sights are only slightly magnified or none at all. Plus they have a wide field of view, are well utilized off axis, and they offer that same fast target aquisition!
Those high and to the right shots are from jerking the trigger. Concentrate on a slow steady squeeze to the rear and you'll see those go away. ;-)
