IMO the Primary Arms are viable options for a shtf optic, glass is not great but for the money not bad, rugged, etched reticle daylight bright and cheap enough you can buy an extra for a backup.

Cricle 10, i had one of those POSP scopes for one of my AK's. I would agree that they are rugged enough for SHFT. I sold it for the price of a new AK, i regret it but oh well.
ACOG is pretty close to ideal... Even when the tritium goes dead in the reticle you can tape a glow stick against the fiber optic and still have a lit reticle indoors. With an objective cap you can close, the lit reticle acts sort of like an occluded eye gunsight that works pretty well a contact shot distances. Once zeroed, no dialing or moving parts to break, fairly lightweight, pretty hard to destroy.

Weight is always a concern. Heavier rifles handle slower and if you're going to be carrying it (SHTF and worried about how long it lasts, yeah, you're going to be carrying it), weight obviously matters.
Hell I'd say for a SHTF optic weight matters more than it would for non-SHTF for those of us regular type folks who are the types to bother asking this question
Sounds about right
Form follows function, use dictates tool.
In home, across the street; RD and BUIS. I use a lot of MRO’s on carbines.
100 yds and out; LPVO.
At ranch/extended distance (300+); mo’ glass-2-10X/3-15X/etc.
Nothing’s etched in stone.
Using lowest common denominator (RD/BUIS) I’m not gonna just roll over whatever the scenario.
A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.
Vortex Razor 1-6x/1-10x with reptilia 90º RMR mounted on top and a offset mounted aimpoint t2 should be gtg
ACOG fiber optic models, TA31F, etc.
Quality LPVO with an etched reticle
backup or offset irons. Last you forever.
