Just consider the possibility that you might hit something that you might see with peripheral vision while not spotting through a scope. So maybe not so BS.

 

I think you should be trained to shoot out to 300 yards with or without optics. But i think red/green dots make it easier and and quicker. on eotech and aimpoint you can get 0 magnification without limiting your peripheral vision. im no gun expert but that still just seems strange. chocalotstarfish, are you on swat? did you replace the shotgun with the ar?

 

It's easy to "two eye shoot" also. I do it a lot when hunting with a red dot so I can see what else is going on

 

The green dot I have is a x0. No we don't have "SWAT" we just have 2 of us that if we were needed we are cert. to carry our own and can respond on scene without needing a crusier! When in my car I have A LOT of firearms! Inside the car is My duty and backup, Mossberg 12g and my AR. In the truck I have "Less Lethal shotgun" mossberg 12g with 2 bags and 2 sets of rubbers!

And before you ask if this is overkill go ahead and read this! This was my 1st day on the job "3 of 10 new officers were on scene" I was one of those 3! We have a large amount of Militia and "Freedom" people!

I don't believe in over kill lol. in my room i have my sig p239 with an extra mag, h&k usp ct and an extra mag and my ar with a few mags. only thing that isnt semi ready to use is my long gun, a rem 700, only because its worthless in protecting my place.

 

Which 700 you have? I had the 7mm but traded it in on my M&P 15

 

700 sps in .308 with a leupold mk4 lrt 3.5-10x, harris bi-pod, and custom paint job

and the rest of them
