RE: Red Dot or Crosshairs?
I have hunted deer for years with a Ruger SRH in 44 mag and 454 . I started using a 2x scope but found that I was having trouble seeing the crosshairs first thing in the AM in the deep side valley I hunt . I now use Millet red dot sights on my 454 and 44 .
No you don't have to be perfict ,just put the dot on the deer and pull the trigger.
The Millit 30 mm red dot sight has over 3000 rnds of 454
Buy a good red dot and it will last . Cheap may = broke
I can recomend the Millet 1" or 30 mm or Lepold Gilmore . I or friends use them on 454s
Yes a scope is a LITTLE more accurate than a red dot but if you can't see the crosshairs you can't shoot and the rest of the time the differance is slight
