The bigger dot provides a much faster acquisition on target. According to SIG, the 6 MOA dot comes as the most popular choice in reflex sights. Here's a YT video showing the difference between 1, 2 and 4 MOA dots. The larger the MOA, the more target it will cover up at a given distance from the scope. Meanwhile, a 6 MOA dot covers a 6-inch target at 100 yards. The minute-of-angle (MOA) measurement relates to the size of the dot as compared to an object down range. So a 3 MOA dot equals 3-inch circle at 100 yards. The measurement correlates to size on a 100-yard target. The reticle will be bigger on the 6,5 MOA model and give you a quicker target acquisition time than the 3.25 MOA RMRcc. The price, specs, and size are the same between the two models. Since we know that 1 MOA is 1 inch at 100 yards, a red dot listed as 3 MOA will appear 3 inches in diameter at 100 yards, 6 inches at 200 yards, and 9 inches at 300 yards. When it comes to SIG optics, those choices center on the differences between 3 and 6 MOA dots. The only real difference between the 3.25 and 6.5 MOA is the size of the reticle and the subsequent level of accuracy at longer ranges. An MOA number listed on a red dot sight refers to how large the dot will appear on a target that is 100 yards away. I cant imagine wanting a dot smaller than that but to each his own. At 20 yards the dot looks to be 1.5' in diameter. At 40 yards the dot is about the size of a post-it. So choosing the right dot makes a difference. « Reply 24 on: March 03, 2014, 09:45:12 AM ». So check out the video for some good tips.īut in a recent blog post, SIG also explained that not all dot sizes are created equal. SIG Sauer Academy Director Steve Gilcreast breaks down just the process for effectively presenting a pistol and quickly finding the red dot.
SIG Sauer recently released a video providing just that.

Use at lower settings can allow up to 30,000 hours. 1 MOA is a different size at different distances, 8 at 800 yards is still. Up to 150 hours of use at highest setting.
