MOA is roughly 1" at 100 yds so a 2 moa dot covers 2" at 100 and a 4moa dot covers 4". The 4" dot is quicker at close ranges and the 2" dot is more precise for longer distances.

If you're gonna use it with a 3xMag then choose the 2, not the 4... the dot will be magnified as well... becomes too big.

That depends are you going to be breaking in doors 4MOA, or general shooting with the possibility of home defense 2MOA.

No and Yes! Keep in mind how close your eye will be to the sight. If you are going to forward mount it you might want the larger dot. It will appear even smaller if you get the 2MOA.

right now its going to be mounted in the scout position as i cant get a good cheek weld with it on top of the carry handle, my next build is going to be in the A3 config and would like to be able to use it on that as well.
