I've got a suppressor on the way (well, not yet) and I am starting to get the rest of my pig gun ready. 300 BO SBR.
I've always been a rifle scope kind of guy. Even on ARs. Even with supers, the longest shot i'll be taking is around 100 yds. BUT I do plan on hunting with subs out of some of my closer sets, about 30-40 yds. I know, I know. "Insufficient energy..." Tell that to the pig with a hole through his ear. Also, plan on a Sniper Light to extend my evening hunts a couple hours.
Anyways... After a bunch of googling, I am starting to wonder. What kind of accuracy can you expect from a red dot at 100ish yards? Holographic? Should I reconsider my rifle scope snobbery? I will hopefully be making a few follow up shots. For this reason, I am leaning towards the red dot. Am I totally off-base? I picture taking a shot at momma and trying to pick off a few little ones during the scramble. I imagine a rifle scope would be difficult in this scenario... Even with 1-4x magnification.
I'd appreciate any recommendations/suggestions of what to look at. Price range is about $300-400. What works for you guys that have a similar setup? Is there anything I am failing to consider?
Thanks!
