I posted this in the optics forum but am tweaking the discussion here:
I shoot out to 225 yards with my full length Omega which has a 3x9 Nikon on it with the muzzy BDC. I don't think I want to remove the scope for the sake of a single hunt in UT as this is my 'go to' firearm at home and is dialed in. So I thought I'd just outfit my wife's Omega X7 (shorter barrel) that currently has a factory peep sight.
I shoot both well but without optics I am not as accurate at max distances with the X7.
Am I stupid for wanting to setup a different gun for this hunt to preserve my tack driving original setup?
Is there much velocity lost with the X7 vs the full length Omega that would translate into meaningful?
Leave the peep or is there advantage to the 1x scope?
I don't want to go out and buy a scope/base/rings only to find out I'm status quo.
Thoughts?
Thx
Bill
