SRO 5 MOA Dot for Dangerous Game

[derekslovak2]

Hey, I recently purchased a CZ 550 in 416 Rigby and have a SRO Red Dot In 5MOA at the house and was wondering if it's too big of a dot, I have used this sight for many 3 gun pistol competitions and have had no issues with it

A 5 MOA Trijicon SRO will certainly function on dangerous game rifle. On a sunny day in Africa, don't be surprised if that 5 MOA dot looks like 10 MOA due the in increased dot intensity required to see it!

For a PH where they may need to stop dangerous game up close and personal from stomping a client, a MOA dot would be great! For the rest of us, especially on a 100 to 200 yard capable rifle such as a .416 Rigby, I recommend a 1 or 2 MOA dot. Remember those dots grow in size as their intensity is increased.

All the above stated, mount the 5 MOA and safely aim at imaginary targets at 50 and 100 yards on a sunny day.

Good shooting!

I have a 6 MOA RMR and we use it on everything from a .416 REM to 505 Gibbs.
Have changed intensity at different times of the day at 100 yards and in. No problems.
It has a wide intensity range and glad I chose the larger option

Thank you I have the 5MOA sitting here so I figured I would try it

I like the larger lens of the SRO. I would also suggest using a Jagerwerks BROS shield over it. Adds a ton of protection to the large lens.

BROS (Battle Ready Optic Shield for the Trijicon SRO)

This product is designed to increase the durability and resistance to impact damage of your optic in real life situations.

I've hunted quite a bit with an 3 MOA RMR (mostly for deer). I would not hesitate to choose a 5 MOA for buffalo. The most critical part of using a dot is seeing it when you need to!
If your eyesight is good and the dot is round for your eyesight then the accuracy can certainly exceed 5 MOA - just sight in to hit center dot.
