    Tape it's gonna depend on the size of the target ans shooter skill.

Beyond 100yds depending the moa of the red dot sight is a judgement shot. I would bet rifle against rifle you cannot hit a 280yd target first shot and I will drive up to Henderson, KY for that bet depending on your equipment if it's worth it or not.
    How big is this target?

    I do not think shooters skill will effect anything, a man size Target @ 400yds; even using a 2moa dot you will not even see the target because the dot will hide it; I am referring to using my Aimpoint H1 2moa, he's talking about I guess his T1&2 sight, so basically the same reddot sight depending what moa dot he has. A shot taken 400yds with a Aimpoint 2moa micro sight is a waste of time and ammo IMO. Hell, good shooters with a ten power cannot hit a man size target @ 400yds first two or three shots, I would not make that bet with my AR setup, HD1911 acts like it ain't shit but I say that is an excellent shot by any standard with a rds.

    like I said I'd bet my best Colt AR and drive to KY to see that happen. Anyone that can hit a man size target @ 400yds with a Aimpoint micro 2moa sight deserves a prize!

    At 400 yards the dot will not cover any of the target because you'll likely be holding it right about the top of his head.

    This is a bet you might just loose.

    Especially considering, two days ago I was ringing a 10 in steel plate from 400 yds with an Eotech. Once you know your hold over, it is fairly easy.

    You do not seem to know optics well. Hits using a RDS out past 100yds. are easy and very doable. Shots out to 600yds. are doable. Not only doable, but not a big deal. I can do it and have seen it done numerous times. At a HSP class, myself and the majority of the class were hitting 12" steel at 500yds. using RDS's. As in, many first shot hits.


    280yds. first shot---not a Miculek shot. Plenty on this site can do it all day long.

    your so full of xxxx, where do you live, I will gladly meet you if it is logical and cover any bet you care to present. I am retired and I can travel anytime. Please lets meet! My comment about you being full of xxxx is not meant in a bad way, it is meant the same as if you and your long time friend or me and my friend disagree and going to compete against each other and I do not mean it as it sounds. I hope you understand and I am very much wanting this to happen. Lets do this, this weekend.

    Hey guys, if I get ban for my comments I want you to know I do not mean it in a bad way, just as I said if your buddy disagrees with something you said or whatever you know what he is meaning. I know we are not buddies and do not know each other from Adam but I hope you take this as I am meaning it. I am not saying the shots are not doable but no one is going to grab their gun and I am going to set up a target from 10 to 600 yards and whoever is going to hit it with a red dot sight.
