    I have one, good optic, excellent glass, I like the FFP reticle,  the circle for close in work is too big to be of any value. Close paper (under 15 yds) it's usable, that's it.

    If I didn't have a RDS on 45 I wouldn't like it.
    I have never used the illumination, seems fairly bright, but I have never used/liked/needed, a lit reticle.

    New to USPSA stage design - couple questions

    At our locals, we’re often short of fault line for the wide or zigzagging or long/narrow shooting areas I seem to prefer. And hoarding 200+ linear feet of fault line in one bay would be downright rude to the guys setting up others.

     

    Consequently, I often use aerosol pavement-striping paint on our gravel bays for fault lines anywhere the shooter will not likely venture close to. The corners they’ll stop in, or the sides they’ll shoot on-the-move alongside? Those still get staked down wooden 2x2s.

     

    Works well at the local level.

     

    Kinda what I'm leaning towards, only use a rope like we do in 3 gun. Anyplace a shooter could/would be shooting from, gets a 2x2 . Like you, most of my stages will cover quite a bit of ground , and not keep the same shooting area, every stage, every month.

    As zzt said window size means nothing, if you're looking at/seeing, the sight/window size, you are doing it wrong. You should be able to cover the front of the glass and still get hits with no problems.
    FFlll has always been plenty bright, I prefer the JPoint CD myself, it's even smaller. I do wish it had manual controls as well though.

    Best range finder for 3 gun?

    Yes that was my point double the range you will be shooting.  Sorry if I was not clear on that.  I have been to many matches beyond 400 and many targets like 480 or 500 so I would not get a 850.  My Ranger 1000  never had a problem at any 3 gun match.

     

    I have a Ranger 1800 now and I have never had any problems at a 3 gun match either.

     

    That looks like a fun target array!

    We had 14, over 100 yds, on this stage at last years Missouri 3 Gun Championship (MO3GC.com)

    As 12Glocks said , DOUBLE the range you will be shooting.
    I have the Vortex 850, not happy at all with it. It will BARELY range a 4'x4' white steel target at 600 yds on a cloudy day. 

    On a sunny day it takes 4-6 attempts, tried it yesterday on a  solid overcast day, I got 1 , out of 60-80 attempts, would only reliably range ~275 yds,  on a 12", never got a range on a 16" at 320 yds. 
    I could range the closest 3, got the 4th (left side) after 12-18 attempts, (kinda hidden in this pic) , never got a range on the ~300 & 400, got 1 on the 600.

    I moved so all targets were in the clear when ranging, just took this pic where all targets were visible in one shot.

    anyone know how to "bulletproof" a red dot scope

    I feel as others have mentioned that there is probably no need to bulletproof a new scope if you buy one of the higher quality ones. 

    BUT , I want to make this $20 walmart special hold up like my buddies  $500 Brand XX optic. You guys aren't helping any !?

    ?

    Sorry to offend the OP, but many of us have been there, done that, tossed the crappy RDS, and paid the price for a decent one.
    That being said even a high dollar one can fail, you will likely cause more damage taking it apart and trying to "fix" it

    Can't complain about that. What bullets are you using? I've talked to a few people smarter than myself that insist a quality hollow point is needed to get good accuracy.

    These are HP, I can't remember exactly , have to ask my son. They were some prize table pickups. 
    Worst problem is they don't feed out of the 57 Rnd MBX, until  I get about 8-12 down then they feed. I have to use round nose  to top off the mag.

    Wow that's terrible, a buddy has 2 GMR's, and another buddy that we did a build for that are similar accuracy to mine, ( we haven't actually compared). But they practice together quite a bit, shooting skinny samies at 100 with no problems.

    I don't know why so many are afraid of shooting 100 yds+ with a PCC.

    6 shot group, 125 yds, 2 moa dot(seems more like 3 in my testing)

    10" barrel, Cannibal comp. 124 gr 135 PF ammo. Just doing some final testing before a night match figured I'd stretch it out a bit. Also shot a 2/3 IPSC at 150 offhand, 5/5, it starts dropping quite a bit at 150. I need to test my open loads at distance, they are chrono'ing 1850fps?
