| ok this red dot sight confuses me.i have never owned one but i have a colt 6920 that i would like to pu the micro t1 on.i have never used anything but standard scopes and know how to zero them.but with the red dot i read that it doesn't matter where the dot is in the lense.so when you zero the micro do you just get the bullet to impact wherever the dot happens to be in the lense and the target, or do you make sure the red dot is in the center of the lense like a regular scope and then on the target and adjust the bullet to hit there.any help appreciated. |
| think of the dot a 3 dimensional point in space. if your viewing angle changes, the dot will appear to move with your view. you are correct, when sighting it in, clamp it on, get a good stable bench rest and fire. adjust as necessary just like any other optic. theres really no difference in zeroing than other optics, just in how the optic works. pretty idiot proof. |

Pretty idiot proof as apposed to idiot proof. 
Nothing is idiot proof. I am willing to bet there are small differences when your head is so far out of alignment that the dot appears to be getting out to the edges of the glass. Basics still apply. For best results dot should appear roughly centered in sight and cheek weld should be as consistent as possible. When you make your adjustments sight should still appear roughly centered in sight and cheek weld should be as conssistent as possible. |
