Title: red dot
Post by: swclemmons on February 14, 2011, 04:18:52 AM

Ive ordered a crosman 2300kt and have been looking into red dot scopes and came across this and was wondering if it would work on my pistol? http://www.thegunsource.com/item/344416___Spotting_Scopes_NCS_1X40_RED_DOT_W_LASER.aspx?w=dV/7U3gO%2bfs%3d (http://www.thegunsource.com/item/344416___Spotting_Scopes_NCS_1X40_RED_DOT_W_LASER.aspx?w=dV/7U3gO%2bfs%3d)

any input would be appreciated

thats for a weaver style rail. you would need an adapter or get a red dot that attaches to dovetail.

this sight has both weaver and dovetail http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=554049&cm_mmc=Froogle-_-Optics%20-%20Red%20Dot,%20Holo%20%26%20Laser%20Sights-_-PriceCompListing-_-554049 (http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=554049&cm_mmc=Froogle-_-Optics%20-%20Red%20Dot,%20Holo%20%26%20Laser%20Sights-_-PriceCompListing-_-554049)

so if i want this scope it will work i just need an adapter to mount it? are there adapters that allow the use of iron sights with out removing the scope?

this one is a little long but it is hollow to allow sight alignment through it.

these also appear to have sight through them http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/BKL_2_Pc_3_8_or_11mm_Dovetail_to_Weaver_Adapter_1_Long_Matte_Black/2922 (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/BKL_2_Pc_3_8_or_11mm_Dovetail_to_Weaver_Adapter_1_Long_Matte_Black/2922)

those BKL adapters are great! i have a one peice on on my 1377c bullpup it works great! they are made of a solid peice of steel and there are screws on them to "stretch the bottom of the base just a litle bit to slide it over the rail, and then the same screws will "squeez" the mount back together to clamp on to the rail

What non-optic sight are you using, is it the factory sight or some after market sight? That will make a difference as to whether or not you can use the sight mounts listed.

Then you should be able to use the BKL scope mounts. They sit a little higher but then you can see through the bottom of the mount and use your iron sights.

Your on the right track with the 3 MOA part.
If you shoot at targets farther than say 25 yds with a 5 MOA dot. The dot will be so big that it will practically cover up the 10 ring.
3 MOA is a good choice for target work.
Thanks
