I thought I had started a thread like this before, but all I could find were threads on specific optics.
I am at a crossroads.
Every optic I try has advantages and disadvantages as one would expect, but in your opinion is there one military or SHTF grade optic suitable in all situations and that has limitations you can easily live with?
After trying red dots, reflex sights, variables, and a smattering of gimmicks like the C-More sight, I've decided I think the Aimpoint micros or Trijicon MRO's fit the bill.
--Reflex sights, although not battery-powered, have reticle washout issues.
--Battery powered sights like the Aimpoint have a long enough battery life to overcome the fact that they are not "battery-free"
--Variables have a lot of utility but tend to be heavy. Let them manufacture a 1-4 variable with Tritium and fiber optic and only weighs as much as an
Aimpoint micro--and I'M THERE.
I actually emailed Trijicon asking them to make a 1X optic with simple reticle and not needing battery power. They replied back that they don't reveal future product plans, but I found it interesting that the RMR came out a few months later.
So, what say you? What optic do you think has the best overall benefits versus its limitations.
PLEASE BE SPECIFIC.
I start these threads to get specific information. Please don't just say you like sucn-and-such and leave it at that. Please tell us why you love an optic or why others are inadequate.
If you post just to agree with someone, please state that you agree with what particular point they made and don't just post "I like such and such optic too."
