Red Dot for Rimfire Pistol?

[gillman7]

I am wanting to put a red dot on my Mark II Hunter, not sure if I want a red dot, or a 1x scope?

Want to use it for hunting, backpack pistol, maybe shoot some Steel Challenge with it also. Any suggestions or experiences with them?

I would think a Burris FastFire would be a good choice. Oh and wouldn't you know I just might have one for sale if someone were to be in the market one.

But really I've seen several guys run these on their rimfire and Centerfire pistols. I bought mine for my shotgun but only used it once. It's pretty robust and I would think it would hold up on a backpack type gun.

Is it in the Classifieds, I haven't looked? I actually looked at those, thinking those would give me a faster FOV than a scope?

Well it never made it to the classifieds because it's SPF right now!

But yeah a bigger field of view for quicker target transitions in steel challenge I guess is why they use them. If I had a rimfire pistol I would get one for sure.

Just put an Aimpoint T1 on there like I did mine.

I have a cmore STS on my glock 17. It works well but requires constant checking to make sure the screws stay tight. I am seriously considering switching to the new leupold deltapoint because if the wider screen.
I run a Trijicon RMR on my AR15 offset at 1:00. It is sweet because there ain't no batteries, it's rugged, and it has a big screen. I'd probably go with the Trijicon if I was carrying that gun in a backpack hiking and hunting. Not having to worry about batteries is really nice!

I have the Bushnell trophy on my Ruger Mark III hunter that I use for steel challenge. Works really well.

I'll second that.
I couldn't see putting an H1 on my Charger so I tried one of these. I love it.
It's a nice little optic and the price is right.

I just got a burris fastfire II for my mk3 22/45 and really like it.[Broken External Image]
