    I have been using a quality red dot sight for many years on my AR-15 platform. But I've found that although this style of sight allows me a fast target acquisition for close-quarter battle (CQB), I lose the ability for precision shooting past 100 yards when using it.

My AR platform will consistently shoot better than 1 minute-of-angle (MOA), meaning it could shoot within an inch o
