Seriously? That's a great option, I thought it was just a 1 MOA dot but with multiple illumination settings.

Smoked this guy opening morning with the leuopld RDS. Loved the red dot versus open sites with my old eyes. Knight bighorn, 100 grains, barnes 250 grain T-EZ bullet.
Nice buck.  I assume you got a fair amount of shooting in getting prepped..any issue with holding zero?  I like the idea of red dot, but have some (probably unfounded) concern about it holding a zero.

Shot it quit a bit sighting in and then shot my buck. Zero seems fine to me.
