Hi @bradleyj
Fwiw, I play woodland, but have tried out cqb (it’s just to far to travel to my closest site to be a regular haunt)
I have an unmagnified red dot fitted to all of my rif’s
Ive tried magnified (an Elcan Spectre clone) and whilst the magnification is great for spotting, the eye relief and reduced field of view are a drawback when actually firing.
I used it for one game, and went back to a red dot.
I prefer using both eyes open so as I am able to use peripheral vision whilst lighting up my chosen target.
