The combined use of a rifle-scope and a red dot sight has long been popular with the military and police. In recent years, more and more hunters are starting to recognize the potential of using this combination.
Red dot sights are an ideal optical device for quick target acquisition at short distances to perform “snapshots”. These compact devices operate at low magnification, making it possible for the user to look through with both eyes open.
With rifle-scopes that offer high magnifications, the user can adjust the parallax so that the image is in focus at a longer distance and great accuracy is achieved.
There are advantages of both optical devices but combined we can see the full benefits of having a red dot sight mounted on a rifle-scope. If the target is within the distance of 50 m, make use of the red dot sight, if the target is farther away, use the rifle-scope. Using the Snapshot Systems setup, you benefit from the advantages of both optical devices, meaning that you are prepared for every possible hunting situation.
