A few months back I purchased a red dot from op and I do like it but got it mainly for the 22. Now that I have used it for a while I am thinking of venturing into a higher end red dot but am not clear on the differences between a red dot and a holographic site.
With that said I notice my red dot( low end paid $125) does not stay on target well. I have used an eotech wich is parra lax free meaning whichever angle I look from it will be true to where the dot lays. Wich is not the case with my red dot. Is mine just a pos or are all red dots have parallax ( problem viewing and staying true when viewed from anywhere besides directly behind it). If so it almost seems pointless why not just use irons?
The dot i use is co witnessed and I feel like when I shoot it I have to line it up the sites normally anyway. The only benefit I see is it would perform better in low lighting. Are all red dots require the same in this way? Is the eotech the only dot that performs without parallax ? What about the aim point? Thanks
