    What is the role the firearm is intended to fill? If it is a "battle rifle" role, you would be well served with the Aimpoint or LPVO. If it is a DMR/SPR type, then I'd keep saving on the optic to buy quality.

    RDS, namely an Aimpoint Pro for your price point.

    I'd say the Aimpoint PRO.

    Tell me about the PRO, Battery life, Shake awake? How good is it at 300 yds? Problems? What do you like and what are the down sides?

    How well do you do at 300 yards with irons?

    Battery life is good. Even on my older Comp, I usually leave it on and change the battery every 6 months as a precaution. The PRO battery last longer than the older Comp series. This makes shake-awake irrelevant. It's about as tough as you can expect a RDS to be, and if you can see the target at 300, you should be able to hit it. It's the default everyone goes to for a dependable optic, and that's really all there really is to say about it. Inside your budget, it is a slam dunk. I set new shooters up with it and we don't usually revisit the subject because there isn't more to expect from a non-magnified optic inside the 300 yard bubble.
