Ok, who here wears glasses and shooting with them sure makes a difference on how you see.
So then what should a person buy? A scope or red dot? What about a holographic? If they have a limited budget.
I have more than one rifle but, I am just saying for the new purchaser. One that may be on a fixed budget.

I have reasons for why I asked.
First: new people to shooting may have some of the same issues.
Second: I am building a new AR15 and I am debating on what optic.
Third: I went shooting today and at 200 yards my accuracy was not as good as I would like.
Now you can say it is a bunch of stuff on why but, I didn't do good until I figured out how I zeroed it.
I have on my Bushmaster AR a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6, on my RRA Ar10 is a 6-25, and on my Spikes Tactical is my Swarovski 3-10. I also have a Romarm Sar1 being shipped and need an optic. I also have my Tikka T3x coming in a couple weeks.
I am a firm believer in having an optic that if the battery dies then I still have etched glass. I have tossed around the idea of the Trijicon Accupoint for this very reason. I appreciate everyone's help!
PS - shooting with both eyes open or one eye closed is more a question of eye dominance than anything. There are many people who are cross eye dominant and that leads them to have to close what would be their eye not behind the scope because their brain is prioritizing the information seen through that eye instead of the one behind the scope. Some people seem to have a harder time with it than others. If I was cross eye dominant, I would train to learn to shoot left handed with rifles so I didn't have to deal with that.
I have found the opposite to be true with a red dot. I am left eye dominant, shoot left handed but with an Aimpoint I have been able to shoot right handed no problem with both eyes open.
A red dot isn't really a scope, it's a reflex sight designed without magnification. If you close the cap and look through it you'll also be able to use it because your brain can piece both images together because they are the same magnification regardless of eye dominance. Magnified optics's are a different story.
Depends on the scope. A LPVO with an illuminated reticle will act as a red dot, as will a TA33 ACOG

Point is, we are all pretty smart and adaptable monkeys. If we want something bad enough, we find a way to make it work.
