Vortex 1x6 hd 2 with red dot in the middle. Back up irons in case it goes down. Considering how well built the gen 11's are, I doubt it would happen but you never know.

Leopold HAMR on a DD 14.5 with the red dot on top. of course my KAC SR-25 isn't ever far away.

Enough of the "who's coming for our shit" stuff. We've discussed this many times and ways.

I actually asked an Aimpoint guy about EMP. I had them on the phone for some other reason, and decided..."why not?"
Their take on it was that since EMP operates by "hitting wires/"receivers" of conduction", the Aimpoint would be fine. #1 because it is possible that parts of it will act as a faraday cage, and #2 because the surface area of the wires/"receivers" in the optic are so small that an EMP would not be likely to impact them with enough electrons/photos/whatever to overload them. Also, there isn't much to actually overload in an Aimpoint...what are you overloading? There are no circuit boards or CPU's or any crap in there. Just a power supple, regulator, rheostat that is mechanical in nature, and the diode. Probably embedded in a thermal epoxy for all I know.
Fixed front sight, Troy Folding Battle rear, Aimpoint ML3 in a LaRue QD M68 CCO mount, and extra batteries (one in the mount for the Aimpont and batteries for the TRL-1 in the grip.)

"SEND IT" happens to be my trigger words...
I think the answer to what the best choice is has to do with these questions:
Short-term (localized disaster) or Long-term (nation or planet-wide)?
What's your AOR (urban/rural/transitioning from urban to rural)?
Will you be primarily taking game or defending yourself (based on AOR, nature of SHTF, preps in place, etc)?
A decades-long loss of power and manufacturing, for example, would heavily favor an etched glass variable-power optic for its ability to be used without reliance on a supply chain of batteries and the versatility in its ability to handle any situation.
A short-term localized disaster in an urban environment (think Katrina) would favor red dots with their unmatched durability and speed in dealing with two legged predators.
My primary concern is short-term localized disasters, which is why I run a T-1 on my SBR (and also for home defense). If I survived a long-term global disaster and had to go on foot, I would probably take a 2.5-10 with offset irons on a 16" recce-type gun for its much greater versatility.
