I have been trying out sights of this type(not a MeoSight III) on a combination gun I use for predator hunting. It is fast when using the shot gun on running targets. For hunting bobcats and coyote size (and larger) beasties out to say 50-75 yards it probably works ok (if one can ever get away from not being able to see the exact aiming point with precision when the trigger breaks). My eyes do not seem to see the nice round dots that other people report seeing while using these sights. What I see is blob made up of many radiating red coloured spines. In practice putting the blob behind the shoulder of the cat or coyote provides all the accuracy one really needs in most cases. It is just not the crisp in focus sight picture one is used to with conventional optics. I want to try the Delta Point to see if that is any better for my eyes.

One of the web sites that reviews gun gear commented that when using the SCAR 17S semi-auto as a test bed that the recoil cycle caused the dot on the MeoSight III to turn off and then back on with each shot. The author suggested this was due to the slide out battery tray on the Meosight having loose enough tolerances to allow easy replacement of the battery. I guess there are people out there with reflexes fast enough to be hampered by the dot blinking off between shots. I certainly am not one of those, but I would worry that this is an unusual wear point and that the wear might be exacerbated by the considerable recoil of a real BIG game rifle.
