ive got nothing but good to say about the target dot.
low light conditions arent real awful bad, ive takn shots more than 30 minutes after sunset. last nights 380 shot was after sunset. and it was pretty well pitch black by the time i walked back from checkn out the results.
i may put a dot in the 4.5-14, thats on the 2506. but it will be alittle bigger. but smaller than the leo duplex that ive pretty much grown to dislike.
that reticle isnt me, at long range it completly covers jack rabbits, most of coyote, rock chucks. birds.
ive takn so many one shot kills on rabbits because im not guesn were the rabbit is behind the reticle. ive yet to have the dot cover a target.
the leo fine duplex might be a better hunting reticle for me. not sure. a dot will cost me about 60 bucks plus shipping.
ohhhhhhhh the 220 is already showing some some of stress. stocks got some dings and there already some blueing rubn off. scope is even alittle marred up.
what would you exspect though ; ) if im gona test a rifle im gona do it good.

ps. either this rifle just shoots good or the 220 is a acurate very versatile caliber.
right now where shes sited in i can grab 50s 55s or 60s and hit targets to 300yds.
55s and 60s are shootn bought 2.5" high at 100. 50s 1" high but even though the drastic 1.5" point of impact difrence. all seem to kill to 300 with dead on center masshold on smallish argets.
acuracy goes 50s best, 55s second and 60s last. but even the 60s shoot good enough to hit consistent at 100 and hit targets to 300 easily. all ammo has been used to 300yds.
now its just a matter of how long the barrel lasts. this rifle is planned to be a 25wsm and is the main reason the 220 was easy for me to decide on. suposebly a barrel burner. well see if i get my rifle built in 5 years or less. and yes im keepn track of rounds fired.
conciderd hard to get the 22/250 in the same rifle but dicided on the 220 and its 26" barrel and because it was so acurate in my bolt action ruger vt.
so far it just seems to be great western varmit round and rifle.
