Many red dot scopes already have scope bases attached from the factory and do not need rings. It has a 3 MOA, the smaller the MOA the better. And then there is the BSA line, which are reasonably good optics as well but again not waterproof. All of these makes and models are carried by our cadre. It just makes it easier to pick up running game or other moving targets.
Rabbit hunting in the snow is a favorite of our people with the race dragons.
The faster they run the faster you have to shoot. Most the high dollar scopes only come in 30mm to 32mm, which is not a bad thing at all. Traditional optics are a very good choice as well. The red dot scopes are sighted in at 25 yards for a 1-inch group of three shots. The traditional scopes are scoped in at 50 yards for an inch group.
