There is an arse for every seat but for me, I don't get the utility of a red dot. A 1 x 4 scope or a receiver sight is just as quick and the scope definitely offers more precision. And for me, the receiver sight does too because I have a slight astigmatism that keeps the dot from being precisely sharp. But I think even were that not the case, I would prefer the low power scope for all purposes.

I think the red dot is good for guys who never learned to shoot optics with both eyes open. They get the red dot and feel like it is quicker. But if you shoot with both eyes open, it isn't any quicker than anything else.
