Maybe someone can help me out with this one.
I have a Williams receiver sight on my rifle now. At the range in good daylight I can use them just fine.
When it comes to hunting with them in the deep woods or in prime time ( early morning, early evening) I can’t seem to see though the sight good enough to feel comfortable taking game.
I’ve been doing some research and came across Turnbull restorations red dot mount they make for the Winchester 71. This mount goes in the same factory holes in the receiver that the Williams sight mounts to. I also have no experience with red dots. I was wondering how everyone thinks this mount/red dot would work for me. Most of the shots I would take on game would be pretty close range, but a 125 yard shot isn’t out of the question.
Anyways, I’ve been looking at red dots, and I’m leaning towards a 2 or 3 MOA dot.
Do you all think that a red dot would be a good option for me? Better yet, does anyone have this mount on there 71?
Oh, and before anyone ask, yes I have my eyes checked regularly, and I do wear glasses.
Thanks in advance for the help
