Bolts Rock
Living in Free America!
Time to pick an optic for my furlough build and so many to choose from. Basic info: short range use which I define as 200 yards and usually closer (High Power shooter definition of short range is 300 yards and closer...and yes I can use irons already), NVG compatible not needed, price range $200-$600, my vision ain't what it used to be, rifle has a fixed FSB stamped F.
Of the brands listed in the title any really good or really bad?
Bushnell makes a faux ACOG in 1X and 2X which is the only reason I listed them.
The rest break down into two main types it seems, Aimpoint style tube or Eotech style "TV screens" with the Trijicon and Meprolight looking like hybrids of the two. Pros and cons to the types?
Reticles seem to be various MOA diameter dots, 1 MOA or 2 MOA dot in a 65 MOA circle, triangles and one X reticle. Pros and cons?
Reticle colors are red, amber and green with some red/green selectable. Pros and cons?
