Dot sights are great on air rifles, but - like opens - your eyesight will be the limiting factor...

I use the hawke rd30 on my mk5 . 22 meteor, zeroed at 10yds, for close quarter pest control. Excellent product and ideal for the job. Out to 25 yds very accurate for target shooting /plinking.I also use a reflex red dot on my alecto from cv life. Again it's an excellent product and definitely Gives fast target acquisition.
Thank you both for your assistance.
countryboy I looked for the cl life sight on the internet and found a couple of models that are physically similar, but with different types of reticle patterns. [Which reticle model is yours?] When searching locally I found a physically similar Barska model with four reticles, e.g. http://www.ozscopes.com.au/barska-el...cle-sight.html
I assume that in the modern corporate world of international production most of these things are made in China, Japan or Taiwan and are marketed under various labels?????
I must have a look at one of these for my HW57 in .22. It's never going to be powerhouse, long range shooter, but is lovely to shoot and very accurate.
thank you,
Jim.
not a good idea if you were specs.
tried it and the dots just reflect back to the specs.
the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.
I've always fancied a 6x Acog for pigeon roost shooting!

Thank you all for your comments.
Max H. I will keep in mind the possibility of interference with/from my spectacles and go and try a sight at my local gunshop.
As for the 6x Acog Murphy, that would appear to be better mounted on a military grade .50 calibre rifle, than a light weight air rifle for close range pigeon shooting! You would certainly do maximum damage to the pigeons though, not to mention the surrounding countryside! I guess the pigeons would be well plucked after impact!
