1x scopes/red dots

[usmc74]

Are 1x scopes a dead issue this year?

[Limhangerslayer]

No, there are a lot comments for them this year, not many against.

[Ghost Hunter]

Already in the pproposal.  And allow crossbow during muzzleloader season.  Dropped it from archery.     Another issue to be divided on.

BS if they are allowed

Can’t wait!  Have scope ready to go!  300 yds here I come!

I don't care one way or another, but why are you calling BS? Are you a traditional hunter that only uses iron sights? IMHO there is no difference between a 1x or red dot scope versus a William's peep or the globe sights that have crosshairs. Once peeps and fiber optics were allowed, I think it created an advantage for many muzzy hunters. It increased how far many can shoot, especially in low light or the dark timber.

thats BS also if you dont think theres a advantage to a 1x versus a peep sight! I used a custom dot Vortex on a UT hunt and it was by far and away easier to aim at longer distances, by far more accurate and easier to see in low light. Then add in a rangefinder put a turret on it and and eliminate any holdover and can I could shoot 300 yards at a elk easily.

everyone wants everything easier. Use a rifle if you want scopes and longer shots. Next thing you know we will be UT or NM with 700 yard muzzleloaders completely defeating the purpose and reason of muzzy seasons.

Ive never messed with a 1x scope but have been doing some reading. Several guys removed their 1x scope, some mid season because the field of view and low light view being greatly diminished.

I guess I need to take a look through 1.

I think I may actually be more intrigued by a red dot. No experience with them either. Wonder if the dot get huge when looking at something at distance? Or are they adjustable in size?

Any feed back?

when I was prepping for my UT hunt red dots were on my radar, the only problem then was a dot small enough that it didnt look like a big fiber optic covering half the deer. Maybe thats gotten better now. A gun builder had a brand new vortex made just for UT legal and let me use it. The dot in it was precise , clear and tiny! no obstruction of target at all. I coulda shot even further with a turret 350 wasnt even outta the question. I killed my deer at 227 yards with it longer than I woulda ever shot with my peep.

I could see through that scope in lower light further than a peep at much closer distance due to eye focusing though small peep.

I have a Leupold red dot scope with a 1 MOA dot.  That is 1" at 100 yards.  My fiber optic front site covers about 1 foot at 100 yards

Can you please point me in the direction of a 1x scope with repeatable / reliable turrets....asking for a friend.   

I have two 1x scopes that were almost impossible to find....almost as hard as finding Varget during the pandemic.  I have shot a muzzleloader with one of these scopes and they are no better than my williams peep set up.  I can tell you this.....The crosshairs at 300 yards cover a deer sized animal vitals.  People shooting 300 yards with these scopes are doing the same as when they had peeps / open sights.....putting lead in the air so they have a prayer.  Now at 100 yards and even 150 yards....they do help with clarity and accuracy.  But I see that as a good thing.  I can shoot 200 yards with my peep and I would suffice to say that will be my max with one of my scopes.  I don't see it changing much in our state as far as harvest numbers.  I do however see a bunch of people complain about this while using 4-32 nighforce scopes that help then snipe deer at 1500 yards.
