Ruger's newest red dot offering.

Roger joins the fray...
At $100 bucks and no batteries- who knows? They may have a winner...

I have one on my Max-9

It co-witnesses with the sights perfectly. The dot is huge. Other than the dot size it's no different than any other red dot I've used.

No batteries means it will always work if there is enough light. It's very light but appears well made.

Here it is compared with a Holosun 507K-GR. The Ready Dot weighs next to nothing.



If you own a Ruger firearm and don't mind letting them know you own it go to:

I really like this idea, but I'd also like the comfort of knowing I'd be able to see the red dot at night.

How does it do in low light like about 20 minutes after sunset approximately? Also at night does it need much light for it to show?
I'm in the country so there would be no street lighting. So it would have to be from the sun, moon or a flashlight here where I live, or in the woods hunting.

Dot Size Information - C-More Systems

C-More Systems Dot Size Information page. Built for speed, C-More Red Dot Sights will take your shooting ability to the next level. By using a single red dot as an aiming point, target acquisition is as simple as point and shoot.

cmore.com

The page above from C-More shows the apparent dot size at ranges from 12.5 yards to 300 yards, for dots from 2-16 MOA.

At the closest distance that they show a 16 MOA dot covers two inches.

Too big a dot for me. That's almost 3X the largest dot I use.

I use a 15 minute dot on my steel challenge rifle and have used them on competition handguns for decades I even have a 20 minute dot(not currently used). Never had any issues with the dot size especially on handguns.
I do have a 5 minute dot on my Carry Optics competition handgun because that is the biggest size that company makes but would trade for a bigger one if they made one.
Big dots is easier to find and faster for me and never had any issue with accuracy.
My carry gun has multiple options but I wish it had 10 or 15 minute dot available.

Well there you go! Shows that dot size is maybe not as important as we make them out to be. I know that bosshoss can outshoot me at anytime.

I use a 32 MOA circle 3 MOA dot reticle on mine.
At 300 feet the 32 MOA circle is 32", and yes that is big. However, at 150 feet it is 16" slightly big, but will get you on target.
At 75 feet it's 8" and you are definitely on target at that range.
At 37 feet that 32 MOA circle is now 4"
At 18 feet its 2"
At 9 feet it's 1" circle.

I think people forget that, and are thinking of shooting a rifle at 50, and 100yds or more when it comes to dot size.
