Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Aimpoint

Thanks, Oregon45. I'm leaning that way for sure now.

Magnumdood, thanks. I also called Cabela's and they carry Aimpoints, but the guy on the phone didn't know why they aren't listed.

Hi Bulletbutt,

If you are looking for the tougher models go to H1 or 9000 series. Tube are stronger than on the Hunter, don't say this one is not tough, simply the two others are stronger.
Just came back from hunt where we used exclusively Aimpoint Hunter H30.
More than 80 wild boars plus stags, roes and foxes taken by our party of 21 hunters, some had never used red dot sight or the rifle on loan.
One of them shot 13 pieces in 16 cartridges, other six with six shot.
The farthest was more than 230m away, the closer 10m.
As always in driven hun,t the Aimpoint demostrated high level of reliability, efficiency and accuracy. Temperatures where around -5 to -12�Celsius and game was no feral pigs but real tough russian wild boar. Only 230 rounds were used for these results.

Really a fantastic rifle sight in any of their configuration.

Good choice.

PS: two noted US writers were with us and they enjoyed the sight very much...

Sorry clicked twice....

Trijicon on a Ruger. I really like this scope.

Thanks, everybody, for the help. I'm going to look at some Aimpoints but I won't decide until I see a Trijiocon 1-4x.

Nice looking rifle. What is that fence post made of?

Back in 2007 I mounted a EO Tech Halo site on a Ruger 44 carbine. This gun is 99% perfect. The only issue with this gun is you over shoot your game. No recoil with the 44 mag bullet keeps the halographic site on your target and you find a few more bullets in your game than needed.

Best gun in my safe.

Thanks everybody for your opinions. I am the owner of a new Trijicon 1-4x24mm with the post and green triangle on top. I think I'm going to like this scope better, or at least as well as, a good red dot because of the magnification available. I suppose my biggest "problem" with it will be working at not closing one eye when I use it, but it will be fun relearning what to do so I do it automatically.

I haven't mounted it yet...still admiring it. I can't decide whether to put it on a 35 Whelen or a 260.
