scopes and success
duhameister:
I put a vortex 1x24 on my Remington UML and ended up missing a nice bull at 110 yards, which is a first for me. I had a Williams peep sight prior and was surgical with it. My after-season review left some things to be desired with that scope, because it actually makes things look further away than what they are. On the bench, it was very accurate, 1-1.5" groups at 75-100 yards.
I think I'm pulling it and putting an RDS on, although I had bought one before the scope and I was not impressed with the 1 moa reticle (it looked like three small reticles not really defined) and sent it back; maybe I got a bad scope the first time, which is what I'm hoping. If all else fails, I'll be putting a peep sight back on it.

Duhameister it sounds like you have a astigmatism which changes the shape of the dot. I have one.

At the range my Holosun 2moa red dot shoots pretty good. My older eyes have problems with irons that are only getting worse. The red dot helps with that. My astigmatism causes some problems with the dots flaring or changing shape. The problem is me not the dots. I am thinking of some kind of prism scope which will remove that issue but most have overly busy reticles for ar-15s.
My buck this year didn't matter. Pretty close range shot TBH.

Maybe….. but, I have other red dot sights that don’t flare like this, also there are a lot of reviews that speak to the lack of clarity in this red dot.
Crunchy:
I didn't upgrade this year to red dot or scope but did hammer a decent 6 with the Williams peep site. For some reason I am not very good with a muzzleloader, or I need to work more on load development. So any help I can get from a scope or crosshairs will be an improvement. Well see.
