ACOGs shine at distance because of the magnification. They do ake some 1.5x and 2.0x models though. Shoot both and see which you like. Another friend went to Afghanistan for DOD purposes. I lent him a 1.5x ACOG and an aimpoint m4. He tried both on an hk416 and sent the ACOG back. I personally use an aimpoint h1 on my patrol rifle.

THIS! With a magnified sight it will typically be difficult to engage targets at close ranges.
Personally I use an EOtech with a flip to side 4X magnifier. That way I have flexibility and in a close combat situation you've got great Situational Awareness.
