[QUOTE="rustyaa55, post: 3931243, member: 51766"] Way back in the day i traded into a WEAVER QWIK POINT. These were early dot sights developed for shooting ducks and geese with a shotgun. The dot was to help the shooter with the necessary lead to score. Never been a shotgunner, but was intrigued with the sight and it's possibilities. The sight required no batteries. Instead, it used ambient light thru an enclosed fiber optic, then some mirror arrangement to float the dot as a sight. Looked pretty space-age back then. My then new to me Gunsmith made me an adaptor so we could mount the Qwik Point on my new NYLON 66 for some experimenting and fun. Think the Gunsmith decided then that i was an interesting idiot boy and became my mentor. The experiment was great sucess. It was FAST & EASY! But even with my inexpensive 22 autoloader the dot was far larger than the available accuracy. Sure was a fun experinent. That sight was quickly replaced with a nice scope that served me well for years. [/QUOTE]
