And for older yes, or younger eyes, that can't see them clearly. Some day grasshopper, some day.A red dot with 1x magnification is not much better than iron sights, it's only advantage would be in low light applications

The average guy has never been taught how, much less practices it. One should be able to have a bolt gun ready to fire again when the barrel gets back down on target. It's not real hard with some practice.I've seen this video, this guy has trained and practiced with speed shooting bolt actions. He's really good at it, the average Joe is going to be far behind him.
Uh, thought you were advocating irons. Not scopes.Or with a 1x scope.
Either or. I would rather put a 1x scope on a bolt gun instead for better precision and cuz I got the astigmatism.Uh, thought you were advocating irons. Not scopes.
...low weight seems to be a big part of the concept, and the RD is much lighter than most low power scopes.
The lessons we can learn from running-and-gunning contests will certainly be relevant, but not directly so. The role of the scout rifle is different enough that we must read between the lines in drawing conclusions, remembering that what is really prized is the first round hit, not strings of fire.

On what basis do you think strings of fire are not important?
If you’re hunting, one round may be enough. But how often are the mythological scout military encounters solved with one round? Did Cooper envision getting all the opposing forces to stand in a line so your excessive cartridge could overpenetrate and hit them all with one round?
I didn't name it because I have not shot it enough to form a solid opinion. It is the HoloSun HS403c. the reviews online seem fairly positive. I have it on a "braced" CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1. This is a very lite recoiling arm; so I cannot say how it would do on anything else. As far as the basic features (being on whenever I pick it up, and staying zeroed), it seems to work well.

Just as a comment, while I posted a link to the official site, if you do a search, you will find it for a lot less elsewhere. It ships with a high and low riser. The low riser is better for the CZ Scorpion. The tall riser is best for the AR.
For a pistol I would agree, but for a rifle I don't see how a 1x on a BOLT ACTION rifle is better than a set of good iron sights.
What rifle is that? I'm not recognizing the profile.As everyone knows, red dots are superior to aperture sights in low light. I've personally wanted a 3x prism red dot on a low mount for some time, but alas that is really the world of ARs. Due to that, the illuminated dot/reticle low power variable scope is certainly the able successor to a red dot with swing away magnifier.
As far as "scout" type red dot usage, I've tried it. It works just fine, but lacking magnification is a problem with a bolt gun not used as a CQB auto-loading carbine, IMO.
