Red Dot, Tube or Screen?

Chief Shaway
Thinking of getting my son a dot sight for his 11/87 with a saddle mount for deer hunting.
I have used a holographic screen one for deer before and liked it since it didn't block your vision as much as a tube one.
Thoughts and experiences welcome.

    holo sight , with a holo sight if you have enough light to see your target , you can see it with/thru the holo sight , NOT so with a reddot or tube type sight where you get glare from the dot or shadows looking thru the tube

    Agreed.

    The added advantage of a holo-sight is that it is much easier to co-witness with iron sights than a tube or reddot.

    If, like some of us[:I], you may or may not have checked on the status of your batteries.

    My tube style dots (Bushnell TRS-25 and AT3-RD50, both excellent value) cowitness just fine with irons on my FAL and AR, front bead on a shotgun may be hard to get to line up in a sane fashion.

    You might want to consider the Burris speed bead, I don't have one of those but I have some fastfires I think they're good sights

    I have an like the first two, the Vortex looks even better than the Fasfires, but have not had a chance to try it yet.

    All holographic sights will be just a bit fuzzy, it is the nature of the optics, but They work.
