| I know they claim 65 MOA outer ring and 1 MOA dot, but at what distance from your eye? This relationship doesn't hold when the unit is mounted out on a rail over the forened, does it? Seems to me the amount of angular subtension is a function of the distance between your eyeball and the reticule? Am I correct here or am I missing something? |

Lemmee see if I can demonstrate my question another way. Absurd example, yes I know, but does this clarify for you? Assume you are shooting at 100 yds. Also assume you have a really long rail on your gun, like a 100 yd rail. EOTech mounted all the way out at the pointy end. Let's also assume you visual acuity is good enough that you can make out the outer ring at that distance. Methinks at that distance the outer ring covers about 1/2 MOA or whatever the width is. Move the sight back along the rail and the ring covers more area, covers a bigger ANGLE. Remember, MOA stand for Minute of Angle. Place the unit right up against your eye and it covers a wider angle yet. If this makes sense, does the advertised 65 MOA coverage hold true, regardless of where it's mounted on a conventional rail? Or does it provide 65 MOA up near your eye, but reduced MOA as it's moved out on the rail? |
