After, yanno, driving back from Illinois on Friday and spending Saturday hurricane-proofing the house. Seems like quite a discussion going on.



Um... my red-dot scope as 1x magnification, and if you turn up the brightness too much it actually makes it harder to shoot, not easier, because the glare obscures what's behind it.


It's intended for relatively close-range stuff. The red crosshairs are faster and easier to see than black ones.


If I wanted to kill people at a distance, I'd use the 7mm bolt-action with the 4x scope on it. Drop a human at maybe 300 yards with it. ;-)



Lasers are not particularly useful at long ranges, either. Although if I did have a pistol I'd almost certainly have a flashlight/laser combo on it.
