The thing about the red dot at distance is it’s slower than a magnified optic for me. And not as precise unless I have a target that I can center the dot on. Even with the target I posted, I was constantly trying to verify where the orange dot was rather than just centering the plate and shooting. My 1-4’s I just place the dot where I want it and shoot. But group sizes ain’t no better really, usually about 1.5-2 moa.
My Creedmoor now wears a 10x super chicken cause at 1000, the 3-9 super chicken w/o adjustable parallax opened up my shooting. Swapped to the 10x and things got easier. Not really the magnification just more precise aiming. My buddy was right next to me with a 6X super chicken on his Creedmoor shooting better than me.
