I recently purchased another member's "Poor Man's EMC"...which is basically a KAC/Noveske EMC clone (has the 16" dimpled barrel). Right now all it has is KAC iron sights and I'd like to mount a variable optic that I can use for a variety of situations. I likely will not be using this rifle for a carbine course, as I'd prefer to run in a 5.56 in such a setting. I'd like to be able to make shots with reasonable accuracy from contact distance to 600 yards (that's the furthest range distance I have easy access to). I definitely don't intend for this gun to fulfill a benchrest style role but I also don't want to miss out on the incredible accuracy potential. Range markers /holdover markings would be nice or maybe I should go with a mildot system that illuminates? I'd like to keep bulk and weight down since this is a lightweight package.
I'm stuck between something in the 1-4x range like a TR24G (but that's probably not the best reticle pattern for my intended uses) or I may also consider a 2.5-10x NXS. I feel something in between these two options might be a reasonable compromise. What would you choose? I'd prefer to keep the cost below $800, but around $1200 is as much as I can possibly devote to this.
