I'm trying to decide between two sights for my Marlin Camp Carbine. I've narrowed my choices to the Bushnell Holosight or the Tasco PROPOINT PDP5 1X36MM (47MM TUBE). I've never used red dot sights, and would appreciate feed-back on which one other shooters prefer. Proposed use: for range shooting, but would also be available for SHTF scenario.
Observations: Both have a brighter view than most red dots I've looked at (the cheaper Tascos seem darker and have a distinct bluish tint that would not work as well in low-light situations). The Holosight design seems much better for target acquisition with both eyes open, but is about $90 more than the best price on the PDP5. The standard reticle that comes with the Holosight also seems fuzzier than the red dot on the PDP5.
Any recommendations? Thanks.
