Hello,
I am maybe interested in getting a basic Target model in .45 acp, I notice, though, that almost everybody mounts a Red-Dot type "scope" on them. Personally, I don't care for these, because I have a bad astigmatism in my right eye, and believe it or not, I don't see a red dot. I see kind-of an oblong red blur. I would much prefer to mount a high quality 2x compact scope, with long 4" eye relief, and a bold recital cross-hair or pointed post, such as the shotgun scopes that use to be made by Leupold and others. Or perhaps, an early model Leupold Var-X III compact scope, with a 28mm tube.
My question is: Why do I never see these mounted on Hi-Points. Does it have to do with the way the stock is designed (meaning you would have to mount the scope really high), or a lack of mounting room on the top of the receiver, or some other mechanical issue such as the scope having to be mounted way to far back and close to your eye? I have never had any problem mounting scopes like these on standard bolt action rifles, using Burris low mount extension rings etc.
I would certainly appreciate any answers to this.
Thanks,
Mannyrock
