[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1033763, member: 7123"] Yes, I did. No I didn't like it. I've *NEVER* liked dot sights on rimfires because rimfires are *precision* chamberings, used to shoot small critters or shoot small groups. Precision chamberings benefit greatly from and [B]deserve[/B] a magnified optic. 1x optics are for big bore hunting rifles (MLs, .45-70s, etc.), other short range large game hunting rifles, defensive handguns, and fighting rifles. Not rimfires. 1x optics on rimfires of any kind (including rimfire handguns) make me a saaaaad panda. Just my .02. Having said that, a HIGH QUALITY dot sight (ESD) that has clean crisp edges to the dot (e.g. Aimpoint) is a lot more satisfying than an ESD with a fuzzy edge, for getting said precision. But then you're paying what, $500 or more, for a rimfire sight? Just put a little variable scope on it if you're going to go to the trouble of mounting any kind of optic. Maybe a fixed 2 or 2.5 power, etc., handgun scope, with a nice clean set of thin-ish crosshairs. [/QUOTE]
