Flexmoney Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I'm sure this has been asked before...and a search would pull up a few topics (that would likely make for a good FAQ), but this question was tagged onto another thread and need to be broken out. I am interested in scopes. I know that CMore is the favorite. What else are people using? If somebody posts all the variious choices out there, then I'll put them in a poll. OKO C-More Optima/Firepoint Doctor Aimpoint Tasco PDP3 Adco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hangin' Chad Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I already posted in the other thread before I saw this one, so here it is again. I went with the OKO 4moa sight and I love it. It has aux sights in case the dot decides to take a nap, water / shock resistant and it looks much more durable than a Cmore. THC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitz Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 My choise: a C-More with 4MOA module for IPSC for better transitions, an Aimpoint for Bianchi; more accuracy, I refer to another thread. And Iron Sights for my Standard SVI &.30M1 Carbine. DVC, Henny. ACME Wile E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtherErik Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I don't personally, but I know quite a few peope that prefer the optima/j-point red dot. And then there are those that prefer the aimpoint tube. I can't find my issue of front shight but they did a breakdown of the gear used at the nationals, which included what red dot people were using.

joshua Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 C-More with 6 moa is what I have on both of my open guns. I started with a Tasco PDP3 for a while, both guns had PDP3s on them and I liked the 10moa dot. It was quick locating the dot by using the tube as a reference, what I didn't like was all the weight - Heavy scope, rings and mount or a 5 oz 3 piece mount. Then I switch one of my guns to a C-More, it was fun because it was something new. I had a hard time with the scope specially during strong hand only drills, then it really got hard with weak hand only drills too. I was using the open gun with the PDP3 more often than the one topped with C-More. But I did a lot of dry firing with the C-More topped gun, then one day it just dawned on me. When I got used to the C-More it was actually faster than the PDP3. Transitions were faster and my draws immensely dropped down in time. Now all I use is C-more in my open guns and my PDP3s got a new life mounted on my hunting handgun and AR15. josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jody Waring Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Aimpoint CompC with the 7moa dot, very tough, extremely bright dot and a nice field of view for a tube sight. The battery life seems very much improved over the XD's too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bountyhunter Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Another satisfied customer for OKO. FWIW, I've heard bad news about ATN sights, have not personally used them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpnBlstr Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Mark me down for C-More. I had an OKO when I build my open gun but it didn't last 600 rounds before the windage adjustment shot loose and it stuck all the way to one side - in the middle of a plate rack run. The C-More has had a lot of rounds so far and I have even dropped the pistol a few times (not during a COF!) and it has always worked and never shifted zero. I got the click adjustable slide-ride model since I was told the switch was a lot more reliable than the rheostat. It has been rained on at a match with no adverse effects as well. One thing I did like about the OKO was the battery. I can get the 2032 anywhere and even rob one out of my car remote if necessary. I have one of the new EOtech 511s on an AR-15 and it has been working flawlessly for three years now except that it has a large appetite for batteries! I keep a couple sets in the buttstock now. If I had to replace it I'd opt for the AA battery version which wasn't out when I bought mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcoliver Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Anybody ever tried using the BSA brand red dot in their pistol? With c-mores costing close to $400 back here, I'm wondering if the BSA will "do okay"? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve223 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Mcoliver I have a single stack steel gun that i put a BSA red dot on i probably have 2500 rds with it on the gun and no problems yet. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcoliver Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Thanks Steve. Btw, by steel gun I take it you mean the PF is a bit lower? I wonder how it would fare for 170+ loads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadOscar Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I can't wait to try this little one out. It's a Hakko, about $150 on e-bay, but I had to modify a mount for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.J. Norris Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I've used OKO, C-More and Aimpoint I'll take the C-More anyday. The dot on a C-More is smoother and round then on the OKO, and ALOT lighter than an Aimpoint. Another plus for a C-more is being able to swap out dot sizes.

Chriss Grube Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I've been shooting the Docter for that last 2 years. Well the honeymoon is over and I'm going back to the C-more. There's probably a good reason that it is the most used sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBam Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Chris - What didn't you like about the Doctor? And was yours frame or slide mounted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Grube Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Slide mounted. Just not picking it up as fast as I did the C-more. My splits have slowed down with it. I'm running 15-16's instead of 12's. I think it is a combo of the dot lift and the slide movement that is messing me up. The other drawback is the brightness even running the double battery pack it isn't cutting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
