Red Dots, "way of the dinosaur"
Chuck P has a good video on this somewhere, along with the already mentioned Sage video. It might make sense to watch all of them before commenting here with your mind already made up. Magnified optics provide a lot more information. It doesn’t need to be 200 yds to be useful. Seeing what someone is carrying at 50 yds can be a hell of a task without magnification. That being said, I’m not sure how anyone can make an argument that it doesn’t increase accuracy. You’re literally getting 4/6/8 times the refinement in your point of aim. That definitely makes it easier to hit whatever you’re trying to hit and maintain that consistent POA through multiple shots. Sure, it doesn’t make the rifle more accurate, but the rifle isn’t typically the problem when it comes to putting rounds on target. The only significant downsides to them are price and weight. An insignificant downside is ease of use, mostly because of eye box considerations, but that really isn’t hard to learn.
