Now for weight that is a factor but I have got my rifle down to a weight I can handle so its now a moot point. I would not run a RDS without a magnifier anyway and that would bring the weight up to a comparable level. Like I said the new breed of low power variables are sealing the fate on the ACOG and the older full size red dots. The micro red dots still have a role on light weight weapons and as a back up optic. (such as in conjunction with a low power variable to deal with those akward shots you find so daunting. I can accept that you have come to a different conclusion in your journey. Perhaps its because you did not train hard enough with a variable to become familar with them or you gave up too easily or you went cheap on the quality of the optic. Not sure not my problem. But as for me and my training and testing I have found the low power variables to be the best do all optic out there.

All valid reasons for making the personal choice that you have. Extrapolating that to others as an objective superior choice or an RDS killer is the issue. Your statement was hyperbolic and you got called on it.
Accordingly it would be foolish to presume to speculate as to what my training level is and is not or whether I've not given enough time to one system or another. More significantly you're incorrect on all counts.
