bigstick0000 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I have a new Ruger Hunter III with the long barrel, 22 cal, looking to put a red dot on it to save money on practice ammo. I have been reading about ultradot, tasco, bsa, c more. etc. Any ideas form any shooters doing the same on the best optic for this purpose? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njl Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 It really depends on the size/features you want and what price range you want to stick to. I'd avoid Tasco. I've got an OKO on a MKII and have been very happy with it. Midway sells them for $210. I paid around $150 for mine, but that was 5 years ago. An added bonus with the OKO is its very light, which suits use on a pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkbrd Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Same optic you are using on the gun you are practicing to be good with. Mine happens to have a C-More, easy to justify as I pull it off and take it as a spare to big matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally would suggest an Aimpoint because of the durability but for this application a TASCO or ADCO tube would be just fine. Weigand makes a nice mount for that gun as well.

njl Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Be careful with Tasco. Some of their newer tube dots really don't have much brightness. If you shoot in a dimly lit indoor range, that's fine. If you shoot out in the sun, the dot might not be able to be set bright enough to be usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 right now and have used 3-4 others and they all have just as much brightness range as my Aimpoints. None of these would ever be used at the brightest setting outside.

snappy Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I put an UltraDot MatchDot on my MkII Target last year and love it. It isn't real small or low profile like the C-Mores or J-Points, but the size and weight doesn't seem too cumbersome for targets or plinking. I think the features are great for $200: switchable between 2,4,6 and 8 moa, 11 brightness settings, (I'm usually at 2-4), an adjustable polarizing filter for shooting in bright sunlight, lens covers, sun shade, mounting rings and a lifetime warranty. I love the 2moa setting when trying to shoot tight. The MatchDot was my first dot-type optic and accuracy has certainly shown improvement from using it. Hope this is helpful and that you find one you like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poke_53 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Go with a cmore or jpoint or trijicon rmr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
