Sighting in red dot and magnifier


Recommended Posts

Never had a red dot with a separate magnifier before, but got the Romeo and Juliet on sale. Planning on heading down to the range to sight it in soon. I imagine you would need to first sight in the red dot then drop the magnifier down and resight it again? But I've never done one of these before so thought I'd check.

I would be surprised if you need or even want to make any adjustments with the magnifier in place after dialing it in without.

The magnifier is going to increase the size of the entire sight picture, dot included.  It's not like dialing in a LPVO scope that has an illuminated reticle that remains the same size regardless of zoom power.

New guy here and I have only done this once.  What we did was zero the red dot first amd then flipped over the magnifier.  The magnifier (and red dot) we were using were both Holosun.  The magnifier had adjustment dials.  We did adjust the magnifier some to align the center to the zeroed red dot and it did make a difference. 

Just my experience
