What MOA dot for target Aquisition on bolt guns?

[T_wag10]

Hey guys,

Looking to get some feedback from the group running RMR/SRO/Aimpoint/etc on top of 20+ zoom scopes for target acquisition out to 900 yards. Is a more definitive small dot like a 1 moa RMR the way to go? Should an easier to pick up 6.5 MOA RMR be better? something in the middle?

Pictures with feedback is always appreciated. I would be running a Vortex Razor G2 4.5-27 and a Vortex impact 4000. Using a baldknobber diving board mount for the RMR/SRO for reference so i will be using an RMR. see below link and picture.

It doesn't matter really. Dot size is a personal preference.

What's important is a closed emitter for elements.

copy. i guess a goal/benefit with a smaller dot would be using in collaboration to the impact, you can range and get dope without having to dial back to zero because the rmr is your aiming point?... right?

Co-aligning the laser to the RDS will lead to a bunch of issues at the range you said you want to shoot at (900 yards).

interesting. what would those issues be? i guess my thought would be more co aligning the RDS to your scope at 100 yards which is also co aligned to the impact. obviously its going to be less accurate at distance due to head movement causing slight dot shift but lets say out to 300-500 yards. would it be close if you are aiming at a 18" plate? my range goes out to 880yards max so that was just the number i threw out there.
