    Scope or Red Dot?

    I am trying to get my head around shooting my Rohm out to 25 yards.

    Currently, I have a 2x32 scope on there. I don't know whether I like it though as the sight picture ends up looking smaller than it really is due to the long eye relief etc.

    Anyway, thinking of trying a Red Dot so that the targets still look the right size. Any thoughts or recommendations? Don't want something with a massive dot, and guessing that a tube type might be better in rain etc?

    Cheers

    Hi Paul,
    Im in the same boat, Ive just taken the plunge (excuse the joke) and ordered a Holographic red dot of our sponsors.
    This is just my fun gun, I dont want to get too serious,
    Cheers Peter.

    It is ok to not know what you don't know
    I have A BSA 30 mm on my Webley. It has 11 intensity settings and the 1 thru 3 settings are really pretty small. I shoot 20 to 35 yds regularly with no problem. I feel that you can't beat a good set of cross hairs, but shaky as I am I don't need to magnify the error.
    Cost of The BSA is about $40.00 american Good luck

    Thanks guys.

    Peter, I'll have a look at yours mate if that's ok? I know that you are not taking the pistol too seriously ( ), so once you get fed up with the red dot, I sense a bargain coming on

    Cheers John, was hoping to stick one on my pistol to see what it was like.
