You are correct. I stand corrected. In your experience what kind of resolution does the RDS and magnifier have a 800m?? Assuming the OP is capable of holding 2 MOA off of an improvised rest, has a 1 MOA rifle, shooting 1 MOA ammunition without the ability to range the target. If he shot a hundred rounds at an IPSC target at 800 how many times do you think he would cut paper??? My bet would be... Not too many and the ones that he did hit where luck.Quote:

Im not a long range expert though- just sharing my experience.
So if you put a 24x scope in front the dot is 1/24 moa? Thats 0.04” at 100yds.Quote:

^The actual size of the center dot is 10 micron but the human eye perceives it at 1 moa, even when magnified.
Every single red dot when magnified retains its relative size to the target.Quote:

With a magnifier, everything is magnified. An Aimpoint with a 2 MOA dot will still be 2 MOA with a magnifier, because in relation to the also-magnified target, nothing has changed.
Except Eotech is not a "red dot". The science behind holography is much more complicated than that.
You are savagely ****ing retarded and are being purposefully obtuse.Quote:

This is why (incorrectly) people state that 1 MOA = 1” @ 100 yards, because roughly 1/60th of 1 degree has widened to that point at 100 yards. That minute continues to relatively widen as it travels further from the point of origin.
Something that is measured as 1 MOA and is magnified in addition to the world around it is still 1 MOA. The size of the magnified objects have not changed their physical size in relation to you, just that magnifier has made your field of view appear larger. No more or less of the target is obscured, it’s just now more visible. Everything in the FOV of the magnifier appears larger to the naked eye, but none of their measured sizes have physically changed.
I guess you didn't read my previous post, so I'll post it again.Quote:

EOTech haven’t defied physics, literally every Aimpoint/Holosun/C-More sight you slap a magnifier behind will retain its original reticle size in relation to the also-magnified target.
