Today we\u2019re here to talk about another subcategory of red dots that the customers can find on our official webpage &#8211; namely, <\/span><b>full-tube red dot sights<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s start by outlining some<\/span><b> basic differences<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> between<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/dot-sights.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the usual<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/dot-sights\/tube-dot-sights.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">full-tube red dots<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sights. The most obvious difference that separates this subcategory from all others is in the <\/span><b>size and weight <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of the devices. Full-tube red dot sights are much<\/span><b> bigger and heavier<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than standard forms of red dots.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/dot-sights\/tube-dot-sights.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full-tube<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> red dot sights are<\/span><b> longer, tubular <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and their <\/span><b>shape is reminiscent <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of riflescopes. What is more, they are also mounted using the <\/span><b>same mounts as riflescopes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That means with either <\/span><b>30-millimetre or 34-millimetre rings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like the<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/aimpoint-h34s.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aimpoint H34S<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> model from the<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/manufacturer-aimpoint\/dotsight_series-aimpoint_hunter.html?___from_store=hr\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hunter series.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full-tube red dot sights that feature <\/span><b>mounting with only one ring<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> exist. These red dots tend to be used for <\/span><b>tactical purposes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> only. Usually, they have a<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/mounts\/cantilever-mounts.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cantilever mount<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for <\/span><b>AR platforms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">There\u2019s only a small space on the tube where the user can mount that single ring, while all other devices in this subcategory have a far more considerable mounting length.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All other devices in this subcategory are <\/span><b>mounted with two rings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For instance, models like the<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/manufacturer-aimpoint\/dotsight_series-aimpoint_9000.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aimpoint 9000 series<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/sightron-s30.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sightron S30<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that are intended for <\/span><b>hunting applications<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether a Picatinny or a Weaver ring is needed, <\/span><b>depends entirely on the platform<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Normally, full-tube red dot sights meant for tactical use on AR platforms or similar rifles are mounted a little bit higher than the Picatinny rail.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, those<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/dot-sights\/tube-dot-sights.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">full-tube red dots<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> used in hunting are used on mounts like<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/manufacturer-sauer.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sauer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Blaser, Mauser, regular mounting solutions,<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/mounts\/pivot-mounts.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pivot mounts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or any other form of <\/span><b>hunting mounts<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> out there. They are simply designed differently.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Customers can easily spot the difference between full-tube red dot sights made for tactical use and those intended for a hunting application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/dot-sights\/tube-dot-sights.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">full-tube red dot sights<\/span><\/a> have thdiameter<b>re of 1 inch<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, they are <\/span><b>truly rare<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and lately not many seem to be in production either.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s talk a bit more about <\/span><b>dot dimensions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The most common one for this subcategory of red dot sight is <\/span><b>2 MOA<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

They are <\/span><b>superior<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to the red dots of all other sizes because there is<\/span><b> no need for compromises<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

In addition to that, they also have <\/span><b>a longer battery life<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The downside is that the full-tube red dot sights are bigger and heavier.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, let\u2019s compare them with <\/span><b>small-tube red dot sights<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These little devices are often called<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/dot-sights\/micro-red-dot-sights.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">micro red dots<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> after the famous<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/dot-sights\/micro-red-dot-sights\/shopby\/manufacturer-aimpoint.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aimpoint Micro series<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><b>Optically<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> speaking, they are no match for<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/dot-sights\/tube-dot-sights.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">full-tube red dot sights<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, the latter are much <\/span><b>heavier and more expensive<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than micro red dots.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When mounted on firearms, the full-tube models are <\/span><b>not as aesthetically pleasing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, either. Still, the <\/span><b>mounting advantages <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of full-size red dots are considerable. The customer can use any mounts suitable for normal, 30-millimetre riflescopes.<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/dot-sights\/micro-red-dot-sights.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Micro models<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> often <\/span><b>require special mounting<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> solutions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most models, at least<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/dot-sights\/shopby\/manufacturer-aimpoint.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aimpoint ones<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, can be <\/span><b>bought in different lengths <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">so that the <\/span><b>mounting becomes even easier<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For example, if the user has a longer rifle action and uses some kind of a Magnum calibre with a longer casing, they can opt for an<\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/dot-sights\/shopby\/manufacturer-aimpoint\/lenght_navigation-200_250_mm.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">L version<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of any Aimpoint red dot. That way, they can enjoy the same optical performance and have an easier time mounting their <\/span><b>longer red dot <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">device.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, these <\/span><b>full-tube red dot sights<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are the best option for a user who is interested in <\/span><b>the best optical performance<\/b><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/dot-sights.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a red dot device<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can possibly give.
