Magnifier versus Variable Scope

So why would one equip their #rifle with a #magnifier and #reddot over a variable or fixed power #scope? Well the biggest benefit is going to the ability to retain a red dot’s strength and aid in eliminating their weaknesses. A #reddot allows for rapid, close range target acquisition, as well as rapid target acquisition. A variable #scope with a 1X setting is still going to require proper eye relief and good cheek weld to use. A #reddot will almost always have unlimited eye relief and can be used with compromised cheek weld.

With the right mount you can instantly swap between a magnified #optic to a #reddot. You essentially get the best of both worlds in some ways. However, a variable or fixed power magnified #optic will often feature additional #reticle features. These features will often allow for making long range #shots or shots in a windy environment much easier. These features come in the form of Bullet drop compensators, #MOA or #MILdots that allow for range and wind compensation.

When choosing between the two you really need to identify your individual needs. If you plan to do a lot of #shooting at close range, and some at longer ranges go with the #reddot and #magnifier. If you are more likely to take ranged shots go with the variable #scope. You can also pair optics with weapons. For example, I most brush hunt with a shotgun, and occasionally use slugs with it. In this situation a red dot for buck and birdshot is perfect, and a #magnifier is handy when it comes to #shooting slugs.
