New Scope or Red Dot?

[Rick Ratzlaff]

I'm shooting a Browning T-Bolt. I love it and using sandbags at 25 yards I can put 5 rounds inside a Loonie. (Canadian dollar). My local range is monthly shooting a 50/50 match at 60 meters. My old scope won't cut it.

I have never shot through a Red Dot sight. If I bought a scope it would be a 4 X 12. Probably a Vortex Diamond Back.

Can a red dot be as precise as a scope? What might I gain with a Red Dot?

I like red dots for plinking or hunting large game, but much prefer a scope for accurate shooting. I can't see any possible advantage in punching paper for the red dot over a quality scope.

Thanks ya'all. Scope was my first choice, but I thot I should maybe be open-minded to the alternative.
