i was playing around with my FAL today, and had a thought. One of the benefits of a red dot is that you can occlude the forward lens and still get a sight picture due to the Binden aiming concept. I’ve got a vortex strike Eagle, and tried cranking up the magnification all the way, turning on the lum, and keeping the front lens cover on. It seemed to work well in the simulated pirate fortress (aka dry fire in my apartment) and then I can just flip my front cap up, to go 6x. I’ve been toying with the idea of putting a fixed 3 or 5 power prism scope on a rifle, but I’m not crazy about losing the benefits of 1x at closer ranges. Seems like lum + front scope cover could give me a macquivered red dot with extra parallax
The whole reason why I’m posting this is, I’ve never heard of anyone doing this before, and I’m pretty sure if it was as awesome as I think it could be, someone somewhere would have mentioned it to me. What am I missing here?
