Cowitness with laser a better solution.

I have both Trigicon HD and Trigicon HD XR front sights. I prefer the XR version in that they are slightly narrower and better for me for distance shooting. Both are hi-vis yellow, which for me acquires easily.

Is that an OG Pennywise logo on your avatar?

I would suggest you look through the red dot you are going to by before buying them, just to make sure you don't have astigmatism. .

Astigmatism is affected by red dot sights? Good to know.

Is the dot any smaller on the XR?

Yes, the XR sight is narrower and the dot itself is slightly smaller.

What kinds of distance? If I shoot over 15 yards, I am hitting steel and just looking for that ping sound.

I have the same problem with the HD sights. From 15 yds and above, there is "no light" on either side of the sight picture. While it may be OK for shooting steel where a "ping" is all you need, it is more problematic for me if I am trying to hit a designated area like a head box. Therefore, the narrower XR sights are better for me.

Don't know what that is. My avatar is a frog skeleton body with a Winchester proof mark mid section, S'G' eyes, LWRCI furniture and a Marlin micro-groove barrel.


P.S. - how do can you tell it is a Marlin micro-groove barrel? ....you have to read the roll-mark.
