I really like red dot sights, and also appreciate how their small profile complement the lines of a double.

However I have one point of caution. A couple of months back during a club shoot, one of the blokes was using a double fitted with an Aimpoint H2. He threw it to the shoulder and it suddenly stopped working. Somewhat of a hassle at the range and he had to retire from that event. OK, no big deal. But what if you were after dangerous game, or rather dangerous game had decide to go after you?

Generally when a rifle mounted red dot sight fails there's no immediate back up sight and in any event the reason you went to a red dot may have been that your eyes could no longer reliably pick up iron sights. To me this tips the choice of optics towards the quality low power scopes that feature both cross hairs and an illuminated reticle of some description eg Leupold Firedot etc. If the electronics fail you still have the crosshairs. Might be bulkier than a holographic red dot but covers your a*** if Murphy intervenes.
