Red Dot or BSA Illuminated Sight or Neither?
I have a Tikka T3 light in 270 Winchester that I am planning on using for an Elk Hunt in a couple weeks. I am 99% sure any shot will be 200 yards or less.
I have an Aimpoint 9000L 2 MOA sight new in the box and I have a BSA RMRS Multi Reticle Illuminated Sight that I won in a raffle also new in the box. It is only 1X power but perhaps the lighted sight might help in the early and late hours or ??
I went to a local firearms dealer to have one of them mounted. The dealer strongly recommended I mount neither of them and instead pickup a Nikon Monarch 2.5-10 or similar and mount it.
I am a bit of a newbie to scopes and firearms and did not quite understand all the reasons offered. There was something about range/sight accuracy/etc. I was thinking of using the BSA as in my mind it should offer me a better overall vision field of view?
So I am kind of looking to viewers/posters to this forum for some feedback/recommendation.

A. for one thing they might not be legal to hunt with
was I you and had only a couple of weeks and no experiance I'd take the experts advice and go woith the Nikon and pratice practice practice!!!!!!!
both of the sights U have R more for up close and personal and in my opinin not suitable for long range hunting rifles!!!!!!
