No One Uses Red Dot BDC Sights

For pinned comment below

Wasn't that EOTech small 3-9 scope supposed to be out by now.

Thanks for the review Paul.

I love the EOTECH with the BDC, far and away my favorite dot.

I use the BDC’s on the exps3-4 with a 6x magnifier but I’d never recommend it. Just get a simpler sight

The Leupold Freedom RDS is actually good because it’s mechanical, not a complex reticle

What ballistic app are you using? Thank you.

Good to see you drop a video man.

Sad but true, I bought a two dot Eotech. And it looks like one big dot in low light. I spend too much time staring at it trying to separate the dots, which seems to improve my vision a little afterword. Side benefit, I guess. If I got another it would be the one dot.

Primary Arms MD21s for deer hunting with ar pistol in .350 Legend. Holds when properly zeroed with my ammo are 250, 300, 350. Killed several deer with that. Used the holdover once, it worked, deer recovered about 50 yards from hit.

Now Sig has the new Sig Romeo 8T AMR with a huge 40mm windowand auto adjust reticle with their new magnifier..which I bought. It's fantastic, stuck my 4t pro on another rifle. But man…they come out with new things so quick it's hard to keep up

Still waiting on that PLX-C RDB REVIEW!!!

And now that Eotech Vudu with diffraction technology…

I run the sig Romeo4T pro on my 11.5, works great for night shooting, passive aiming, I’ve used the bdc out to 600 yards with a vortex 3x micro, and works great with a thermal clip on. For me the dots are much simpler and easier to use than a mil tree reticle like in the atacr 1-8 or a BDC like in my mk6, too easy to lose which hash mark I’m holding.

People have called the sig 8t amr gimmicky put having the bdc with the magnifier up and a single dot when its not has real use case.

Holy shit! It's SuperSetCA!!!

I like the 68 moa circle for 50 yards and less.

My key use case(s) for the RD + Mag setups are giving my NV capable guns the ability to take to range. Because regular magnified optics do not play well at all with NV since you're having to collimate everything and while that might be fine on a bench/recreational shooting, absolutely not for timed/tactical stuff. So really the best thing these I love is it makes my NV guns somehow usable at the long ranges, even if not ideal. With Strelok / some kind of ballistic app its neat to see / calibrate your DOPE on the reticle view(s) too.

Magnifiers with a range finder capability like the primary arms are probably the best that is going to get.

So I use the romeo4pro top mounted on a lpvo with the intent of using the bdc as my hold over guide for HOB. Works better for me than trying to remember how far into blank space I need to be

Without even watching I tried using one of these with a 3x magnifier recently and it didn’t go so well haha

Superset CA dropped a video? My Sunday is complete.

Great video! By the time you add the magnifier, your weight approaches a nice, light lpvo as well. Still probably not as heavy, but close enough to where if I want a range of magnification, I'm likely jumping for a 1-6+ every time. On a rifle I mean to do close only plinking, a red dot is perfect.

That is also one thing I love about that Eotech reticle. That center 1 MOA dot is awesome. I have made hits on a small 200 yard target with it, and I am not a good shot. That's plenty far without bothering with a magnifier. If I'm going to shoot for groups, then I'm using a scope, all day long.
