Hi folks there have been a couple of threads recently discussing the possible combination of mounting a scope and a red dot sight.
Some of this seems to have crossed over from the IPSC / "Practical shooting" world.
Recently a UK based Youtube Fieldsports channel did some features on using an offset red dot with a scope for quick shots
Whilst I'm not sure if you need the red dot in combination with a scope that goes down to ~2x, it seems it might have more application if you have a fixed scope of higher magnification, say 6x / 7x / 8x
In Europe, and becoming more so in the UK, an 8x56 scope is becoming more popular for shooting wild boar at night. Of course an 8x mag scope isn't so good for dealing with something you might bump or see at close range when you are sneaking into your highseat / stand.
So, in light of this I have set my .22 lr bolt action up to see at 50 yds what I can do with a red dot mounted on the side of my 8x56 scope
I will try and have a play with this next week and report back.
