[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1538427, member: 41338"] They're a 2 moa dot. Regarding accuracy, I'd attach an regular telescopic scope for load testing, so you can actually find your best and most accurate load. Then take it off and attach a red dot or ghost ring sight. The thing about a red dot is that with a thick dark canopy and somewhat low light, cross hairs can be a bit of a pain to get on your animal when the animal is dark too. A red dot does away with all that and at those ranges, a 2 moa dot, shot from a quick field position is plenty accurate. I have a ghost ring on a 45-70 and I was surprised how well I was throwing them in there at 100 yards. Most of the shots hung in there with an average scoped sporter rifle. Scoped lever gun is fine too but I find the best thing about a typical bare lever gun is the fine way it carries and the quick handling. They are by far my favorite gun to tote in the woods. I typically hunt with a bolt gun but nothing beats a trim lever gun to carry. [/QUOTE]
