Just cant decide.

Post by BigAl52 » Tue Sep 23, 2025 9:33 pm

Ive been going back and forth with scope of red dot in my case green dot on my Marlin 38-55. I ve just put a green dot on my Henry 22 001T. I cant tell you how much easier it is to place that dot on a target vs line up a couple of irons and hope for a hit on target. I have recently shot some great groups with the Marlin 38-55 using various powders. Currently on the Marlin is a Sig Romeo 5 in a red dot but if I was to keep a dot sight on it I would go with a green reflex sight. Ive also considered a low power variable scope. My eyes anymore fatigue after shooting for a while with iron sights. I find the dot a great alternative to those when shooting for a while. Just wondering what you would do. Couple photos of my current guns are below.

I've been using a Romeo. It does ok. Havent tried a green dot yet. I'm looking forward to it. It seems to make sense, an easier on the eye color.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.
