I set up a Sabre carbine for deer hunting w a 2.5x Leupold UL w HD reticle for my 10-year-old nephew(why the VFH is set back). The front sight post bothered me, so I screwed it out and looked through the rest of the sight. Worked fine for me. That exit is from Barnes 55 TTSX.[IMG][/IMG]
BTW, I think that scope would handle 98 percent of Dayshift patrol rifle use.

Sorry for the delay.
Image through scope is at 1x.

thanks skyline. So after a very frustrating range day I am moving forward with dumping my red dot. It simply does not work with my eyes and I had an infuriating time even managing a 5" group at 100. At first I believed it was me until I pulled of the aimpoint and managed a 1 1/2" inch group with irons. Feeling like it was a fluke, I put the aimpoint back on and could manage under 5"again. Its been a year of struggling to use the aimpoint and I have decided to move in a different direction..
Have you tried Eotechs? I know for some folks the aimpoints don't work but the Eotechs do. Or the "prism" type optics from Leupold and Vortex--the Vortex is offered in 1x and 3x, where the 3x should work fine with an FSB
I have a friends, Marine Corps trained in the pre-ACOG era, who just can't shoot an Aimpoint for shit. I don't know why, or how to train him to fix it, but it's a no go for him. He says he sees a crisp dot, etc but he shoots infinitely better with irons.
