Regarding AR optics....I've used everything from red dots, to quality conventional scopes. They all have a niche that they fill.

I keep an old 6.5-20X Leupold 1" tube on a set of La Rue rings, for accuracy /load testing. Works great for that purpose. Works well for our little gophers too.

The red dot is great for 3 gun and short range, quick plinking. The ACOG as well.

But for me the ACOG really fills quite a few roles, quite well. I've used it for night time coyote removal out to 200 yds. Yet it works fine for short range work too.

I ran a 1.5-5X on my LWRC for a few years....That was a great set up too.

It IS TOUGH to choose that ONE perfect optic set up for an AR. Too many choices, for a gun that can be used for so many roles.
