Suppressed sbr and optics.

I have a T1 and T2 on both 10.5" guns, and an NXS 1-4 on my 12.5" GP rifle. I greatly prefer the NXS 1-4, but my astigmatism is pretty bad.

I have 2 SBR's and 3 uppers. 10.2" (5.56) has an Aimpoint Pro and Aimpoint 3X Magnifier. The 10.5 (300BO) has a Vortex 1-6X Strike Eagle. My 11.5 currently has irons but I can put the Aimpoint on it and only have to adjust a 2 clicks in elevation to zero it so I haven't bought one for it. Thinking about trying one of those Holosuns or just spending and getting another PRO.

I have 5 SBR's and 4 of them have EOTechs. One without has a Bushnell SMRS 1-8.5x 24mm. That one is also a 12.5" SS barrel and I use it as a compact precision set up.

Of my 2 SBR's each has an Aimpoint. the 9in 300blk has a comp m2 and the 11.5 BCM has a micro. The third build will probably be 12.5 and an acog. I do prefer the Micro over the comp m2 just for size. The comp m2 looks massive on the 9in rifle.

I haven't read the whole thread but my suggestion would be an Elcan Spectre DR. I have the 1/4 on a 10.3" rifle and it works well as a red dot or a 4x magnified optic. On low power variables I find that I don't really need the continuous zoom between 1-4 power so the quick switch on the Elcan is great. You can also piggyback an rmr type sight and it comes with small, mostly useless iron sights on the top. Only downside is it's a little heavy and a little pricey (still less than the short dot).
Other than that I usually run a red dot on SBRs with the exception of my Scar 17 which has a compact 2-10x and rmr piggybacked.

Man oh man, I would love to run that bushnell 1-8 optic. I have an SPR and a 11.5 gun that dons an ACOG right now that would enjoy that Bushy. How do you like it, and how do you run it ?

I love that scope. It is perfect for the application that I use it for. I call it my Urban SPR. It is compact and maneuverable with the SS 12.5" barrel. In addition to that it is very accurate with MK262 and my AAC Mini 4 can. I like the scope because on 1X it is easy to use as a reflex sight because of the tube size. The recital on 8.5X is big and works well for hold over. I would have preferred a Horus 59 but that would have upped the price a lot. I have had it for over 2 years now and it is one of my favorite scope that I have ever had.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
