A little confused about the apparant sizes of red dots if someone could help clarify for me.
The reason why i'm asking is I am looking at the ACOG TA11H (horseshoe reticle) it has a 2 moa dot at the center. The scope is 3.5x magnification. There is another TA33H which is the same reticle, but 3x mag. Will these two dots appear different in apparent size?
The way I look at it, when sighting at a target at 100 yds, the dot should cover about 1" of space. However for comparsion sake say the scope is 100x mag with almost no field of view and the same 2 moa dot in the middle, would't that dot appear HUGE? Using that logic would it be okay to assume a 2 moa dot on the TA33H would appear smaller than the TA11H?
Also, does that mean a 1x mag aimpoint with 2 moa dot will appear smaller still compared to the TA33H ACOG?
