I am an open site shooter and an optics newb. I would appreciate some input.
I am considering something for my Colt AR. At 50 yards the 2" dots I use for bullseyes are pretty fuzzy through the peep. I can stay on em but it's a struggle. I would like an optic that clears that up and might be usable out to 200 yards. The longest shot I am going to get staying on my own property would be 300 yards and I don't forsee that happening too often.
I am 54 with corrective lenses for nearsightedness. Should I be looking at scopes? A red dot? (I see the Aimpoint Pro seems to get high marks around here but what about distances at or over 100 yards?
I am not a pinpoint accuracy paper buster but I'd like to gain some consistency and seeing what I am shooting at has gotta help.
Next wrinkle, can I do this for $500? Remember, I know zip about optics.
