How far have you taken that combo out to? The reason I dumped the aimpoint + magnifier combo is that the dot was magnified with the rest of the sight picture, which is annoying looking at stuff at 300 yards. Well that and aimpoint dots don't look as good to my eye as Trijicon and Holosun red dots (blasphemy, I know). Would be worried that the BDC might obscure targets/people/things one might want to PID under magnification. I can sort of do some ranging with the standard EOtech reticle, but more info is always better.Example pictures from my rifle. They aren't going to go down as the best pictures ever, but you can clearly see how the magnifier makes the BDC dots much more visible and usable.
