| When zeroing buis that are not same plane, should I use the larger one if I can be accurate with that since it is intended for 0-200? I have seen people use the small aperture for everything, but I was just wondering if using the larger aperture is more appropriate for under 200 and the small one for longer distances. Is the only reason for using the small aperture the accuracy benefit? I understand with the offset sights that poa/poi will not be the same at 50 yards while zeroing. Thanks for any help, after relying on a RDS for so long I now see the value of being skilled with iron sights and am taking the time to become proficient with them, I would prefer to use the large aperture for 0-200 as I like the increased FOV and would like to be more accurate with the small aperture at longer distances. I bought the sights from Laure and confirmed that they are not the same plane variation that is available. |

The small aperture is going to be more accurate all the time. The larger aperture is really only for CQB or for night time. I would say use the small aperture all the time if you're shooting at anything further than 10 yards and are shooting when its light out. You can use the larger aperture but it won't be quite as precise and you may notice larger groupings on your targets because you'll have a harder time staying consistent due to the much larger hole. Edit: I am surprised though, I thought all sights matched zeroes when changing apertures. Guess you learn something new everyday... I pretty much never use the large aperture sight, although it would be good for CQB for sure. |
