Makes sense, thanks. Personally (IMHO) I stay away from any kind of sights that require batteries. It's bound to fail you when you can least afford it. The little coin batteries most red dots run on will just quietly die as they sit there over time. I much prefer iron sights or a good scope zeroed in. It may sound naive, but a good old 4x20 scope with good light gathering capability is my go-to choice, except for any long-range rifles (.308 etc.). Those require some more sophisticated scopes.
I have the same red dot. Battery lasts about 2 years with my rare use and I keep 3 spares in the stock. Red dots are much faster for target acquisition because it is a larger sight picture. I also use the flip zoom made for that dot that works with the irons as well. It's a fast way to add about 3x and flips out of the way on a spring release and works for both sets of sights. You can also flip the irons up to co-witness if that's your thing. It reduces the sight picture but you have a glowing red dot on your irons for more contrast at target.
I've never been able to calibrate a red dot with iron sights, for some reason. But glad it works for you.
I should add that I have another 4x a cog like you prefer that uses nuclear tritium instead of a battery. It's bulky, but I like it. I don't know of any smaller red dots with tritium power though.
Correct! It's a great couple
