I wholeheartedly agree on some kind of optics. Yes, I was young once and had unaided eyes like a hawk, but not anymore and I hate hunting with glasses, though I own a pair. That having been said, a fellow showed up at the range Friday with a pistol gripped, comped, tactical looking shotgun sporting some kind of adjustable stock with a spring built into it for recoil and topping it was one of those Eotech Holo-Sights. He let me take a shot with it at the 50 yard target and I have to say, I was impressed with the sharpness, brilliance and dot size in the noon sun. Without my glasses, it pulled up right on the money and I drilled his silhouette target right in the 10 ring. That was impressive to say the least. Not the rig, but me being able to handle an Eotech Holo-Sight without developing arrhythmia upon seeing the price tag.
For that kind of money, it ought to come with the babe in the ad featuring it. Oh, that's right. I already am owned by a high maintenance woman. What was I thinking.
