Having 82 year old eyes and astigmatism I have red dots on both my Rossi 92 carbines, it makes a more compact rig than a scope,the 44 mag wears a TRS25 bushnell and the 357 wears a Sig Romeo 5. I do believe target accuracy would improve with a scope, but the trade off for me is compact and weight. I much prefer the Sig to the TRS for the on off function. Red dots are not for shooting tiny little groups on paper, my guns are hunting rifles, not target rigs.
