Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Trying a See All on a .22

I've posted a time or two about the See All Open Sight. My first, after riding on a springer airgun for a bit is now on my crossbow for testing. So far so good up to 30 yards. Just got my second, a tritium-lit crosshair version, on sale for half-price. Going to give it a trial on my Ruger CSC 10/22 to see how it fares as a red dot alternative. Trips to the range are iffy now with all the crappy weather, but there's usually a day or two each week that are doable.

The Ruger had a scope already mounted and sighted in, so I had a starting point. I used a scope tube rail adapter and some inner tube to mount a CTC red laser on the underside if the barrel, then adjusted the laser to co-witness with the scope reticle and fired a test shot into the trap in my basement. Then I removed the scope and mounted the See All and a green CTC on the integral rail. Next, I adjusted the green CTC to match the red one and fired a test shot. That done, I adjusted the See All to the same POI (I have about 10 yards to work with). Fired some test shots and twiddled the adjustments a bit, and now the rifle is at least usable until I get it to the range for fine-tuning, and usability evaluation.

Since even the green CTC isn't always visible in daylight, my basement work is going to save me a lot of futzing around time at the range getting lined up, though so far the See Alls have been pretty much on out of the box, probably because they sit so low on tbe rail. From the pic, you'd think the laser blocks the sight, but you don't look through it, you look at it and around it.



Looking around the yard and in the house, it serms like this is at least as precise as a red dot or irons, maybe a bit better, as the crosshair appears to be pretty fine. My airgun tests with a delta-reticle model proved that my accuracy at 20 yards or so was at least as good as with a 2moa red dot. Not as fast just yet, but there's a learning curve with these for certain. The tritium works just fine. Haven't checked for back-glow yet. Anyway, an interesting and possibly useful toy for $100.
