:shock: Still to hot out! 100yd test on hold

 

[Tenring]

Yeah.......no shoot!

Today was the day, still to friggen hot out! The Vortex 100 yard test was a miserable fail, nothing on paper, I will have to invest in a magnifier for that distance, or spend 2k$ on a sniper tested insurgent slayer. So back to the fifty yard line I went, should have tried 75yds. but that was an after thought when all the ammo was spent.

Those of you following my Adams Arms upper PSA lower purchase, the Vortex is mounted on my Ruger, after firing the Adams rifle yesterday these results have me wanting to do another Adams upper and upgrade the internals on the Ruger, now I know what you all warned me about on the endless possibilities with AR platform :think:

 

[Harrier]

IMO, red-dots are suited for 50yd targets... sure some guys are effective at 100 or further but I think they tend to be 20 somethings... For us geezers, a red-dot at 100 is a ballpark shot or steel ringer only.

 

[xerts1191]

Thanks Harrier I needed that

 

[xerts1191]

Trust the dot. Another lesson I learned 1/14/21

 

[TheJediknight]

I can help you with the dot if you need it. Might be out at Rio tomorrow. Most are 4-6 MOA.....

Thanks Jedi, I’m a couple hundred miles from yah, should have added to the fact that the bore site does not lie

 

[TheJediknight]

Yep.

Check it at 25 and then 50..



Past 25 I need a scope....

 

[DOUBLE07GT]

I have Vortex on all my rifles accept for my AR. Good glass for sure in the Vortex scopes. No complaints

A little banter about American vs. Chinese

I have cataracts and see the same starburst pattern.

 

[xerts1911]

I’m starting to get that same effect even with my glasses on, getting old sucks

 

[xerts1191]

I’m tapping out on the red dot scene, it’s time this old goat needs a scope!

True, but it's better than the alternative.

 

[xerts1191]

Yeah Man!

Oh crap I can see further than 50yds.
My only complaint, its chunky at 16ozs, mounted on the Adams Arms piston upper, sighted in at 50yds. was pretty close to zero out of the box, few clicks for upward correction. Moved on to bang a gong at 200yds. Shooting is once again pleasurable.

 

[xerts1191]

Im still liking this optic, haven’t rough housed it so I don’t know if throwing it down a hillside or running it over would be the death of it

 

[xerts1191]

Now the wife is starting to complain the Vortex may not be working well for her, maybe try a different brand optic for a bit of a comparison, after Christmas sale perhaps
