Also you left out no sights for close shots.   Posted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 9:24 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho i use all. and i have 2 point blank confirmed kills. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 9:26 pm dragonmoon New Member Joined: 27 Mar 2010 Posts: 11 Location: swpa,USA before moving to the States id only ever used iron sites with no problems but since using the scope over here am loving it :D   Posted: Sun Mar 28, 2010 4:04 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands sniper wrote: i use all. and i have 2 point blank confirmed kills. Elephants with a Howitzer? I'm a fan of scopes and open sights, allthough with open sights I hang towards dioptre. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sun Mar 28, 2010 7:29 am under500fps Veteran Member Joined: 03 Mar 2007 Posts: 217 Location: Nova Scotia I need a scope to see my target properly with 64 years old eyes . _________________ René My air gun stuff .   Posted: Sun Mar 28, 2010 8:36 am Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA I use them all. It depends upon conditions - target movement, target size, lighting, contrast, range, etc. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Sun Mar 28, 2010 6:06 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2442 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia I like a telescopic sight the most. Not really into high powered ones, a 4-16 is good. Put it on 4 or 6 to shoot, and can use the higher mags to confirm hits on paper. Red dots are almost my enemy. I hate how they are designed. Accuracy is based soley upon cheek weld and grip. If they came out with a sealed tube that has TWO adjustable dots in it, then I'd most certainly buy one. Then you could line up the dots for accurate shots. Once I get my Diana barrel welded up (this week, maybe some pics for ya's?) I'm going to try a red dot on it. We have some squirrels in the attic. Those furry bastards throw things down the stairs at my aunt. Last time it was a clock radio... I have yet to get a hold of a good aperture sight, and notch rears just anger me. Although I do try my best to sight in the irons and leave them on the gun, as a backup. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.
