Vortex Viper 6 MOA Red Dot at Cabela's

[Calamity Sue]

If you've wanted one, now's the time. C's are on sale for $179.99. Using gift cards and AJ it comes to terrific $122.40. Now that's a steal. This is the 6 moa model.

6 moa tho. Still have a Venom in the drawer.

With that said, maybe.

I'd be in if it was 3 moa. 6 seems kinda big.

As a rifle red dot, I can see how a 1 MOA dot is better than a 6 MOA dot, especially when run with a magnifier. As a pistol red dot, a smaller red dot may be slower to pick up for the "seasoned" shooter like me. Young whippersnappers like many of you may not notice it though.

I'd jump on this deal too, but I (1) am still not comfortable using the Leupold Delta Point on my Q5, and (2) ran out of Cabela's gift cards

6 MOA is not that big. I had the same concerns, but it's really not that bad. I wouldn't go shooting distance with it, but nor would I with any red dot.

I agree with SandBlasted..... IMO, 6 MOA dots are great on pistols.

Remember, that 6 MOA dot is a 6" dot at 100 yards. Not even covering up a 8" target at 100 yards. At 50 yards it is a 3" dot. At 25 yards it is a 1.5" dot. So, completely cover a 1" bullseye at 25 yards and you are good to go.

Rifles need smaller dots for the long range shooting. Pistols need larger dots so you can get on target quicker. No need to align sights, just place the dot and go.
