Rifle Scopes Is a 1/8 Min dot too small?

[JGorski]

Thinking about getting this Sightron scope for my next project, just wondering if the 1/8 min dot is the right size or not? Shooting will be done mostly out to 600yds.

What are you shooting at and what type of shooting? Can't be any worse than a standard duplex reticle.

I had an 1/8 min dot in a Leupold years ago and I had a hard time keeping up with such a small dot when shooting at paper targets. My eyes are ok, and I think the Benchrest guys use small dots pretty regularly.

This will be for 600yd BR, standard 600yd targets.

You'll like that scope for your intended purpose. I use one when I shoot F/FTR and it excels at that.

I have a 1/8 dot on one setup that I use alot at 500-600 ayrds and I like it a lot. Never had a problem with it or my eyes staying on it.

I have one with the same size dot. Good for target shooting.

I have a 1/8 dot on one of my gopher rifles and love it. Not the same thing but I shoot gophers put there and it works well.
