My LMT is on the way from V1tactical. Good news is that it was for a June allocation so it'll be at least a month early (yeah!) but the bad news is that I wasn't really expecting it until July/August so I don't have an optic ready to go.

I've got lpvos and red dots on other rifles but I want to try an elcan for this one. I don't want to get into a discussion about the Elcan vs other options - I've decided I want to try one and if I hate it I'll sell it and go with an lpvo.

This is my first and only semi auto .308 and I mostly want it to be a blaster rather than a precision rifle. I plan to sbr/suppress it so I'll be cutting the barrel to 13.5". Given that - would you choose a 1x/4x Elcan or the 1.5x/6x? Do the ballistics of 308 out of 13.5" barrel negate the need for 6x?
