I know nothing about them. This one seems interesting for use on .22 rifle. What is the advantage/disadvantage between these and red-dot tubes? Thoughts/experience? Thanks.

They are easier to shoot with both eyes open. Really easy to get in target with.

Looks like a newer model of one I have on my Neos. It works pretty well. I have never shot a red-dot tube, so I can’t compare for you.

Can you shoot fine with them? If I cant hit something small at 25-30 or so yds what’s the point?
My eyes have issues with those heads up sights some times. My eye doesn’t see it as a dot, no more of a line so when I get farther out from the target it tends to cover the target more and hurts my groups some.
I guess you have to ask yourself what your goal is with it.

the model I listed has several different reticle options including cross hairs.
I would hope I could hit a can or rabbit head at short to moderate distances since its going on a .22 rifle. Not for center mass shooting with pistol.

You’ll want to do your research to determine the style and size of the dot/reticle/housing you want for your application. Most reflex sights are 3-6 MOA. I’m a fan of the vortex viper for people who want to try the RMR on a pistol. Like any optic, you get what you pay for, so don’t expect brain shattering clarity through a budget optic. But for the occasional plinker .22 or entry level AR, budget optics from bushnell, primary arms, etc. can be fun shooters.

Mine’s the same–crosshair, dot, circled crosshair, circled dot. I find that I prefer just the dot the majority of the time.
I don’t know how well it would work on a rifle. It’s kind of neat for a plinker pistol. I can hit a can no problem.
Is this the can you shoot at? Is that 45 MOA?

LOL. I can hit it from 5 yards almost every time!!!!
I am a BIG fan of Burris fast fire 3’s.
3 moa dependable dont break the bank aproxx 250 $+/- from optics planet.
I have 2 of them one one my SW .460 mag and another on my 45-70 and they take A LOT of pumishment on those 2 guns.
Lots of options but you get what you pay for.
Reflex sights are easy to set up and shoot and seem to take a decent amount of recoil. I had one on a pistol but went back to a scope on it because I think I get better accuracy with hairs that the dot.
