What size is the red dot in minutes of angle (MOA)?
1552016
I've searched for your answer,and no true answer other than being pin size. I use it from 100m to 600m,and have a delta point on a 45 degree mount. It's a eighth of size compared to the mil dots beside it. What are you trying to make sure of,that it doesn't cover the target?

the scope has various levels of brightness that I believe will change the dot's moa? it's only a guess but I would guess the lowest setting is sub moa and it's brightest is probably moa to 2 or 3 moa? I typically use the dot to assist with lighting conditions. but the low level is usually adequate for most lighting conditions. if necessary i will adjust the brightness so as not to cover the target. I hope this may help?

Well I haven't noticed any issue. At 2 mil it is half the size of most other red dots. If you use the magnifier it will be 4mil. How far out is the target? The further away your target the more the dot will cover it!

Just wanted to add, I purchased the sight for my daughter's turkey gun. I have a Aimpoint 4 MOA dot on my Benelli SBE 2 and was concerned the 8 MOA FF III might be too large. Wasn't at all even for birds.

I am going to guess it is 5 moa. It looks like the daisy sight I bought and that one is 5 moa.

I MOA is one minute of angle at 100 yards. A minute of angle is 1 inch so one MOA means the gun will shoot a 1 inch group at 100 yards. Normally 4 MOA is used when the shooter is shooting at 400 yards. If he is getting a 1 inch group at 100, in theory he will get a 4" group at 400 yards, which would be 4 MOA. Hope that helps.Gary R

MOA= minute of angle which is a measure of accuracy. 1 minute of angle is roughly 1 inch at 100yards and 4 Moa is roughly 4 inches at 100 yards. This is Essentially saying that a round will strike a target at 100 yards with-in 4 inches of where the red dot is pointed at the target (other variables are to be considered and affect accuracy like rifle and ammo) This is a reflex sight so it is meant for quick point and shoot applications. the lower the MOA the more accurate the rifle and/or sight is.

How many moa that it will come up depends on the zero. It has 60 moa of internal adjustment.

I can not tell you exactly, but in comparison to other Red Dots that I know are a 3 MOA. It is my belief that this Simmons is a 3 MOA. Hope this helps.Doom

They are standard, you can choose crosshairs with dot in middle, eotech style, plain dot, or circle and crosshairs. If you have an astigmatism they may be blurry, like they are to me, but still no problems here. If you need the moa of the sights, the sightmark website states them. I used the crosshairs with dot in middle and it's easily accurate to 100+ yards

I had a mini red dot on my 10mm. I found it was very accurate out to 50 yards

MOA stands for Moment of Angle. it represents 1" at 100 yards. A site that has a 4 moa would have a dot that represents 4" at 100 yards. MOA is a way for a shooter to quickly judge a rough distance or the size of an object(s). I perfer a smaller MOA when using a red dot sight. For me, anything larger than 4 is to big and takes up to much of the sight at close range.

M.O.A. is the size of the dot at a specific distance. A 3 moa dot will cover an area of .31 inches (8mm) at ten yards and 3.1 inches (8cm) at 100 yards. A 8 moa dot will cover an area of .84 inches (21mm) at 10 yards and 8.4 inches (21cm) at 100 yards. So if you're going to use it on a rifle I would choose the 3 moa, on a pistol either size would be fine if you're not trying to be accurate at long distances... So to answer your question the 8 moa dot would be better at self defense distances and would also be easier to pick up in a self defense situation... 1 MOA = 1.047" at 100 yards

Kyle I think that this is a multiple variable answer. First you must understand the weapon system that you are placing this on... Probably an M4 style system. Most of these systems range in accuracy from 1-3 MOA and probably closer to 3. These are generally not a precision weapon system and thus would not be used for competition shooting. This optic is designed for CQB and if the dot which at its brightest is maybe 3MOA, covering your target is highly improbable. Even at 100 to 200 meters which I think is the maximun range on red dot sights anyways it would cover perhps a 6 to 12 inch disc. Farther than that you are shooting in the "Neighborhood" of your target. So this optic is suited specifically for closer target acquisition where this should not be a concern. So I guess to answer your question it depends on what your intended use of your weapon system is... Defending your house or shooting small disc? I think that the answer should be simple and for that this optic is perfect. If you need anything else feel free to write me back.

Basically the answer is yes. The lower moa ratings are the more accurate they are at long ranges. At 100 yards an optic with 3 moa will shoot 6" groupings. Basically we are talking about the size of the dot. I own the Fast fire III with 8 moa and I own another cqb optic that is 1 moa. Inside 50 feet the 8 moa dot will be bigger and therefore quicker to get on target. So the answer to your question is yes as long as its pretty close. If you want to be more accurate out to 100 yards or meters the 3 moa would be better.

I have this scope on my 223. It is a 2nd focal plane reticle and the mil dots are only at the correct spacing when at 9x magnification. The 9x position is noted on the zoom dial with a small dot. I drew a 10cm grid on a board at 100 meters to verify. 3.9" at 328'.

the scope will take u out as far as the gun can shoot-- moa is more about the shooter than equipment-- now a good trigger or sight helps alot-- as far as the red dot-- i never intended to use it over 50 yrds - just quick acquisition-- i like mine-- just make sure u turn ur red dot off or ull loose ur power lol-- i bought one for saiga and another for ar15-- hope u have fun with urs
