hologram sites question

[buckmaster61081]

What kind of accuracy do these have? Are they only close range or can you safely use it for a 100 yd shot?

I found a 44 Redhawk that has one on it that I'm interested in, not sure about brand other than the site supposedly cost $250. Will be hunting deer with it.

Any comments? Thanks.

it depends what size the dot is. 1MOA dot will be good for shooting 1" groups at 100yds or better. The EOtech is a 1MOA... RDS like the aimpoint and others generaly are 2MOA dot or larger.

With my EOTech, unmagnified, I can shoot better than 1" groups at 100yds in 5.56mm and so can you...

Some RDS are as big as 8MOA and those are generaly for entry use only as a secondary sight(within 25feet). Mainly as a backup mini RDS mountedon or nextto a Scope with Zoom capability.

Here is the daniel defense offset mount with aimpoint micro T1 along side a Long Scope to show you what Im talking about. T1 uses 4 MOA dot...

your definately going to sacrifice some pinpoint accuracy for quick target accusition but once you learn where the bullet hits within your MOA dot you can get pretty good grouping within the dot.

It's a problem when you plan on shooting passed 200yds. 300yds takes practice and with enough practice you can go out 500yds+

I recomend going with a zoom scope and mounting a mini RDS to the side of it.

this little mount here works great if you don't have a picany railed AR15, it is a scope ring replacement...


it is made to replace one side of your scope ring to allow for a picany rail up top. Then you run a lil guy like this Trijicon Dr.Optic or Pride Fowler.




And this company at the link below makes mini mounts to attach to any sized scope tube so you can run these on virtually every gun you have and you would once you tried it...
