10.5 SBR has a 2MOA T1 with flip magnifier and flip buis. That'd probably be my SHTF gun if I had to bug out due to the weight, durability, and reliability.

I've sold all my optics, except my pvs 14, and my AK is back to stock configuration. I been running irons only for about 8 months. I might just grab another ta33 and call it a day.

The AK guys are all about the reach around. - Garand Thumb.
I'm in the boonies--one rifle is a 16" AR 5.56 with an EOTech 512 & co-witness irons. As noted the larger size is worth it as AA batteries are easier to find vs. N or 123s.
The other is a 20" AR 5.56 with a ACOG TA11 "Donut" & back-up irons. I'm amazed at the simplicity of the ACOG & its BDC which allows tagging targets out to 300yrds without trouble.
Currently a T1 on GDI qd mount...but that may soon change to an EXPS3-0TAN....we'll see which one I wind up liking better![]()
Red - Lucid HD7
Multiple reticle, uses common easily-changed battery, lower 1/3 co-witness for BUIS, fit my budget at the time.

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” -- Thomas Jefferson
One rifle has an Eotech Exps-3 with co-witness Magpul BUIS. The other has a Leupold 2-7 x28 ultralight scope. I live in the middle of nowhere and have use for both.
Same here, except my spare battery is in my BCM grip. Magnified doesn't do much for me; I'm left eye dominant, so for anything with magnification I need to close my left eye. That makes me slower and makes me more "tunnel visiony". The only thing I might change with my setup is to get a LaRue QD mount for my M68 (it sits in the standard mil mount), that way I can remove it without having to verify zero everytime. Oh and a Magpul BUIS too...

1 rifle with 2 uppers.
10.3" upper runs an Aimpoint T1 in a LaRue 660 mount.
6920 upper runs a NF 1-4X24.
Both uppers have BUIS. 6920 upper runs with a FSB and KAC BUIS rear.
Both optics run on the same CR2032 battery. Optics are interchangeable on both uppers. CR2032 batteries are easy to find and relatively cheap. They're easy to store and light weight enough to pack many away. Battery life is crazy long for the T1 and the NF battery was just changed the fire of January. The original battery was still going strong after 2 years of use.
TR24 for my grab 'n go 6920. But for SHTF I'll be moving in with my nearby sibs and supplying the family platoon with various AR/AK options.
The beasts of modernism have mutated into the beasts of postmodernism—relativism into nihilism, amorality into immorality, irrationality into insanity, sexual deviancy into polymorphous perversity. And since then, generations of intelligent students under the guidance of their enlightened professors have looked into the abyss, have contemplated those beasts, and have said, “How interesting, how exciting.”
—Gertrude Himmelfarb, On Looking into the Abyss (1994)
