Red Dot scope

JOHNNY WACKO · 08-11-2011, 08:22 PM

The Bushnell 2x i had on here would cut holes at close range but after 70 feet it got lost. So i found this BSA 42 mm one in the wery back of my parts shelf from like 10 years ago.I got it for Xmas . It still works and sited in prefect. Ill try to shoot it tomorrow after the Friday sale. We might have some new junk to fix or part out.

never messed with a BSA red dot though the price is attractive.

when i shot competitively, i used a millet red dot and a bushnell holo sight...........good stuff.

perhaps i will get back into the T/C game.........40 rds of ammo per match is do-able and a match takes half a day......but with my schedule of one weekend off in 5......i could probably make one match a year......

use to do some real good visiting at them matches.

So far i have had good luck with about every cheap brand out there.I bought several brands back a few years ago. BEAR, WHITE, BSA, so far so good.I have them on pistols rifles theres no eye relief at all. don't matter.

Didn't know they still had match's, nice looking pistol there. What caliber is it.

Thats a ruger charger 22,a 10/22 pistol. I just haven't had the fun this gun was suppose to be. even with the red dot it shot poorly. MITE be me,or the fun haven't came yet. I have only shot it 3 different times. in 3 years now.

I got this gun for pig hunting here in Tx and I have a Ruger 357 max 7 1/2 barrel for a backup sidearm . I have never fired this gun yet , but after getting a red dot I found out they the POA on most of them wander from day to day . Has anyone had a problem with them .

I have used a Millet red dot on my Charger and it is very accurate, and holds zero on the Charger, never tried it on anything bigger.

i used the millet and bushnell on .22 LR, .22 mag, 7mm TCU, and 44 mag T/C barrels with no problems.

and i moved these boys around from barrel to barrel.

given a preference.........i would go with the holo. its been awhile but i think the bushnell halo is discontinued............it was just an older commerical version of an eotech.......much cheaper and just as good.........most rumors indicate that eotech actually built the bushnell holo and let bushnell distribute it.

Too successful as it was cutting eotech;s throat on marketing the more expensive military/LE models.

I've heard they coat the barrel and it needs to be cleaned before shooting. If not cleaned it takes a few hundred rounds to make it accurate. Take it out again and make a lot of noise with it.
