Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main criticisms of the Leupold DeltaPoint Micro red dot sight?

The primary criticisms of the Leupold DeltaPoint Micro include its very small optic window, which is about the size of a .308 casing, and its aesthetic appearance, which some viewers find unappealing. However, the hosts found the small window manageable, especially for concealed carry.

How does the Savage Impulse straight-pull rifle compare to the Blaser R8?

The Savage Impulse is an American-made straight-pull bolt-action rifle that offers a similar fast cycling action to the German Blaser R8. However, the Savage Impulse is significantly more affordable, with the Predator line starting around $1379, while the Blaser R8 typically costs several thousand dollars.

What are the advantages of the Savage Impulse rifle's straight-pull action?

The straight-pull action on the Savage Impulse allows for rapid cycling of the bolt by simply pulling it back and pushing it forward, eliminating the need for the traditional up-and-back, forward-and-down motion of a conventional bolt-action rifle. This can lead to faster follow-up shots.

Can the Leupold DeltaPoint Micro be used if the battery fails?

Yes, the Leupold DeltaPoint Micro can function as a ghost ring sight if the battery fails. The optic replaces the rear sight, and the user can still utilize the front sight as a reference point for aiming, particularly at close self-defense distances.
