.22 rim fire red dot vs scope

[GEOFF.223 83]

was out the other day with a couple of friends plinking wit the 10/22 rugers one has a 4-18x50 mildot scope and the other a 4x 552 red dot scope

there was a arguement-wat one was the most accurate, so first was a 50 yard zero then

30

40

60

70

yard shot out and well there wasent much difference averaged out they were the same.

now advantages and disadvantages;

scope easier to pinpoint longer shot slightly more accurite at futher ranges, disadvantages heavier takes longer to get on target exspensive for good quality.

now for the red dot sight amazing fun light weight fast to aim easy to get on target fast different aim points for hold over only on certain models easier to hit moving targets.

 

in my mind the red dot wins hands down for hunting and fun.

 

scope wins hand down for target shooting.

 

so wats eveyone elses thought?

Archer Starlight N/V will only fit on a scope.

For close work on a semi there has long been an argument for red dot!

Not sure the argument would be so convincing on a Bolt action though!
