Army Sailor
Copper BB
Very happy with the Hunter so far. Reminds me of the M16 I was issued in the Army four-plus decades ago. I am using an inexpensive red dot sight on the rail now and will likely upgrade to a scope as well but I am also interested in iron sights. The front sights is the obvious difficult part. Can someone point me to some products that work with the Hunter without major modifications or adaptation?
This rifle is mostly for varmint use but often they are pretty close.. under 100 yards... so a scope makes that kinda difficult. Honestly, I do pretty good on iron sights just because of familiarity though I am really liking the red dot so far for quick target acquisition. I just wonder about battery life and battery operation in cold weather.
Second question regards location of the red dot. I see some shooters mount it more the the rear and some more to the front. Is there any logic to either location? Thanks!
