[QUOTE="Goodtobetheking, post: 1603414, member: 92864"] I typically hunt with a 1-8x scope. Since I'm used to low/med magnification, I carry a high quality red dot sight as my backup for scope failure. The red dot's already been zeroed to my rifle and round, of course. It limits long range shots, but to 200 yards everything is fine. I can get consistent "vitals" hits @ 300 with the red dot on the range, but realize that's not actually hunting conditions, so I'd likely pass on the shot unless an ideal set up and simply work closer, if possible. So...I feel prepared but I've thankfully not had a scope failure so can't report on actually using the red dot in the field. [/QUOTE]
