If only we had a forum section for optics.

Irons on any of a dozen 308 battle rifles. I'm high dessert, need the ability to stretch it out, with consequences, upon arrival.

Why would a t2, be better then a t1?

That make sense. I am the other way. Deep woods all round.

I would suggest a ACOG for a optic. one with a quick discount incase it did break while "using" it. And had to use the back up irons.

Irons and ACOGs suck for SHTF for the same reasons the suck now.

Eye relief sucks, the reticles can bloom, etc. They don't run on batteries though, and that's the most important thing I could think of in a SHTF situation. If everything lines up perfectly, that T1 battery will last you 5 years, if you live that long in whatever situation we are dreaming up today.

Do the snowflakes think they are going to head to the mountains and survive hundreds of gunfights spanning decades?

Oh yeah, totally forgot about those. I have a PA 2.5x prism actually and like it quite a bit.

Eye relief isn't a problem on TA11s or TA33s. Plus, you can back off eye relief on a 4x ACOG if you don't mind the loss of FOV.
