Scopes and iron sights are the only experience I have so far and I'd like to try a red dot on my Victory .22 to start. I know nothing about red dots other than some online articles I've read. Currently leaning towards a Vortex Venom. I've noticed that sometimes they're mounted back where the rear sight would normally be and sometimes they're much further forward. Outside of the obvious things like holstering, is this just a near-sighted, far-sighted thing?
I'm still confused about the different external styles/shapes of red dots. Is the micro-dot style like a Vortex Venom the same as the "tube" style like a Vortex Sparc/Crossfire just in a different form-factor for pistols vs rifles? Thanks.
