Optic for a new shooter, first rifle
I just completed a build with my son, 16" midlength and looking for advise on an optic. He's went shooting a few times and enjoys it, good form and attention to detail. Purpose of build is to promote the sport/enjoyment of shooting. I had him check out my 1-4 Burris, Pro, Holsun 400(?), Eotec, and 1-8 accupower (which he liked but not an option, lol). He liked the Holsun.
This will be an all around firearm. Plinking mostly. He has little desire to hunt. I have long range rigs he can use, so not the purpose of this build.
Is the holsun a good start? Options, suggestions?

I would only call them inferior on something like call of duty.
Even the Army, which is almost always well be hind the civilian shooting world, has officially labeled them Back Up Iron Sights. That’s a clue.
