Which size red dot?
I'll be getting an Aimpoint for my 480 Super Redhawk. None of the local stores have any in stock so wonder which size would be best for my use. Choices are a 2 MOA and 4 MOA. My concern with the 4 is there would be too much coverage for target shooting at 100 yards. My concern with the 2 is that target and game acquisition will be difficult. In 25 years of hunting I only shot at a running deer once because it was only at 10 yards. Anyone have experience with either size from any manufacturer?

Target shooting and hunting are two different applications. IMHO 2 MOA is too small. 5 MOA would probably be a good compromise. You can always shoot a larger black bull at 100, although for 100 yards you would be better off with a scope and crosshairs.
