The Leapers UTG BugBuster 3-9x32 AO Mil-dot was the go-to scope when I got my 995 4-5 yrs ago. Is it still the ticket today at a bit over $100?
I have hesitated on mil-dot reticle because the view looks too busy for a "defensive" firearm with good accuracy of only 50yrds. When I shoot at a 8" target at 100yrd I just hold-over POA at the top of the target (whatever) to get the POI I want. Will mil-dot glass change my life for the better?
UPDATE 3/5. See post #16
Well my use of 'a defensive gun' led people down the wrong path. I was trying to indicate that the H/P carbine is not a long distance target gun so there is no need for a mil-dot scope that provides all that POA range calculation in a reticle IMHO. Sure, a red-dot is perfect for a self defense optic. ....
