Hi and hello,
after just 9 month waiting time I finally got my .458 Ham’R and struggling what optic I should use. In the beginnen I wanted to go with a Eotech Vudu 2-10 or Trijicon Accupoint 2.5-12, I have no doubt those will handle the recoil well and (I own a Trijicon) are fantastic optics.
But the longer I waited and the more read about the .458 (Socom) in the field the more I think about Eotech Exps Holo sight with magnifier or Prism Scope with Red Dot.
I am always thinking the prism scopes have a too small reticle and short eye relief.
the Holosight seems to tick all boxes but the word is, magnifiers have a negative impact on the reticle (make them too
Big) and your field of view and both eye open capabilities are gone.
Low power AR - Scooes could work, but I heard bad things about durability on .458s - in fact Vortex and Leupold stated they don’t recommend the (cheaper) AR Scopes for that caliber.
What are your recommendations and experiences? How hard is it to place a good shot at 100-150 yards with a Holosight?
On open fields I assume it’s easy peasy but in the forest after let’s say 80yards hogs start blending in the environment pretty well, and the kill zone isn’t that big on that game.
