Personally, I prefer the 3MOA dot inside the 65MOA circle for turkeys. I don't have another red-dot scope to compare it with, but I can attest that after 100's of rounds of 3# turkey loads and 3# 12ga sabots, and going through literal he77 in the field - the Bushnell still holds zero after almost 15 years. I've found that I prefer the green most mornings, for me it's easier to acquire in those low light or thick brush hunts common to the way I typically hunts turkeys. And for matches Ive been running the Romeo 3Max with 6MOA dot.I've used a Bushnell Trophy with 4 different reticles and both red and green lights. So what ive been doing is running the 3MOA dot on my back up gun and doing dry fires on that. You are able to refine quickly what you need to refine in order to get good hits on targets at distance, or smaller targets, or high risk targets (no shoots and tuxedos). And it took me a long time to break through that shoot safe and get good points mentality. Im definitely more of a tactical turtle type shooter. Which isnt necessarily a bad thing, but can be distracting if youre a perfectionist like me. With a smaller dot especially, you pick up every micro movement in the gun. Yong Lee is a GM carry optics shooter who I've listened to on several podcasts who said, "dont hold your dot to a higher standard than iron sights." What he meant by that is, your wobble on irons youd accept it, or wouldnt be able to perceive micro movements in the pistol as much. I also felt that it was easier to pick the dot up shooting on the move, and coming into positions hard, having to mount the gun again when my shooting position wasnt the most stable. For a 2.5 or 3MOA i felt that i could not accept wobble on the smaller dot. With a smaller dot, you pick up every minute movement in the gun. I know a lot of guys even running 8 MOA dots or bigger. Which for action pistol, isnt that significant. 6 MOA dot is covering 6 inches at 100 so 1.25 inches at 25. With that being said, for action shooting, generally bigger is better in my opinion.
What size MOA dot should i go with? Its shooter preference.
