How much will I need to mash my fucking face to the stock just to get an uncomfortable cheek bone weld.

>>544659

I was thinking about that too, but apparently you just need to tip your head forward until your nose is brushing against the stock.

really makes you think

I've messed with them before. Interesting concept, but not really sure how I feel about them overall. Holosun kinda ate their "always ready" lunch by bringing out red dots that have super long battery life PLUS solar panels. Even more so since quality red dots are dropping in price. It's basically an iron sight where you don't have to care about cheek welds. I've heard that people with older eyes (who can't switch focus as fast anymore) or astigmatism can find them easier to use than a red dot, but I'd ask around some forums first before running out to buy one for that purpose.

It works, and if I had to use one forever I wouldn't be upset, but from my limited experience the thing just doesn't have a clear cut niche where it dominates any other option. Not sure if you could even put a magnifier behind it.

>>544659

They need something like a 1" riser to be at a proper eye level. OP's picture is retarded. You'd only be able to mount them without one on a gun with a classic stock, like a shotgun or something.

>>544680

Oddly enough, it doesn't really work like that in person. You use it with both eyes open (in fact, it's the easiest sight to do this with that I've ever tried) and after getting used to it your brain sort of automatically compensates and it becomes pretty easy to it on target, and at the same time being aware of what's going on. It's really fucking weird and I don't know how best to describe it. I guess you could look straight ahead, and put a hand over one of your eyes. It doesn't really interfere too much with your vision.

I mean more like how the sight itself covers up the bottom half of whatever you're aiming at since the reticle is along the top edge.

By the way, if you do get one, get the delta point, not the crosshairs. It's too easy to lose the centerpoint of the crosshairs, whereas the triangle stays easy to track, and if you want to take the time for an accurate shot you can still do that just fine.

>>544739

I get the concern, that was my first thought myself when I looked at it. But after half an hour of using one I had no issues with it. It's less obtrusive than standard AR15 sights and easier to use up close. Still not red dot easy, though.

>>544656

Now that the dust has settled, can we all admit that Horiuchi-sama did nothing wrong?

Not remotely. Best non powered sights are glass optic scopes. They come in 1x magnification for closer range, and the upper end ones are as good as reflex/red dot.

I bey he didn't even marinate it properly too. The fag

I was gonna get one for my mossberg, but I think I'm gonna go with the Holosun circle and dot offering. And not even for the reasons >>544737 said. I just want a circle and dot for my shotgun and it isn't eotech expensive.

>>544922

Better off with a side mounted rail.

NYET RIFLE IS FINE

>>544871

Wish there was a modern day Timmy to hand out cards showing your address you slant eyed fuck.

>>544880

any good examples of these?

>>544981

>i can hit farther with a piece of plastic weighing down my rifle

Go to the fucking range, yokel.

>>545095

Theyre all the same, its just a glass piece you can zero.

I used a Japanese scope called shoutac I got on a trip for the equivalent of five bucks, and it worked just fine.

>>545117

is it odd that I'm having trouble interneting it?

looking up 1x glass scope just gives me red dots and the like.

>>545123

Most 1x scopes aren't true 1x they have some magnification. The only ones that won't magnify without spending ass loads would be those holo or red dot sights. They're out there but they usually are 1-6x or some other magnification range and expect to pay a pretty penny.

>>545117

>Theyre all the same, its just a glass piece you can zero.

Yes and no. Actual clarity of the image is usually pretty good all across the spectrum, but with scopes the factor that drives up price isn't clarity but durability. Most cheapo scopes will get shaken out of zero from recoil.

I figured flip ups were more common. Basically, I just need something that will affix to a picatinny rail. Flip up or otherwise.

I was pretty much just plinking and eyeballing stuff. The first time I had taken it out to practice it was pretty on the money accuracy wise and that was probably at about 50ft to 75ft. This time was hit or miss.

I was using Wolf Gold "performance" Ammo. https://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/wolf-gold-223-55-grain-fmj-500-rounds?a=1581232

I want to get my hands on one of those bore cleaning ropes. I haven't fired too many rounds but that's no reason not to take care of muh raifu.

> I was having trouble hitting targets beyond 30 feet away

Define "having trouble" and "hitting targets".

How much are you off by and how big is the target?

That's 10 yards and you should be able to group 4 inches with a handgun irons at that range.

You're using a poverty tier red dot, so the mount may be built crooked, or recoil (but it's 5.56 lmao) from the gun may have jostled something loose on in the inside so the glass is probably shifting every time you fire.

If you're firing while standing, you may just have noodle arms and the rifle is shaking like crazy.

Alternatively, you are blind as fuck and should not be using firearms.
