Turns out I have some degree of astigmatism! Going to have to buy polarized glasses if I want to shoot with a red dot

@ketchup9080 It's a Sig Sauer Romeo5 red dot for a rifle Other that I'm building. My first one.

@Teddy

I don't use a "red dot".

But I do use special made glasses, with polarized lenses.
Asked my optometrist about it, and he was all in. So special Rx, just for the big glass.

I do long rifle, 1,000, 1,500, meters.

@corlin Well you're far ahead of a novice like me!

I've had LASIK done, which may be the source of my astigmatism. Luckily I can pick up clear polarized glasses for <$25 lots of places.

Why don't you use red dots?

@Teddy

Old school.

Started long rifle competition as a teen.
First coach, was a grumpy old Army snipper.
Been doing it old school the whole time.

Now going on 50 years.

@Teddy

BTW

I only own one rifle now.
It is not specific to competition.
But is rugged, and well made.

The Barrett MRAD in .338 Lapua

Here is a stock pic.
Mine has different and bigger glass.
