[QUOTE="Dillon157, post: 3974525, member: 49873"] This can be a pretty subjective topic but I like the simplicity of a plain red dot. Red dot optics also tend to provide far greater battery life to holographic sights. As for LPVOs, there are a lot of pros to that kind of optic platform. Magnification that’s mostly unrivaled by flip away magnifiers, the ability to use them without power (dead battery, SHTF scenarios, etc), and great glass clarity. For me, the cons always outweighed those benefits though. On an AR15, I just couldn’t get past the eyebox and eye relief constraints. This becomes particularly challenging in unorthodox shooting positions. Holograph sights like the eotech suffer from decreased battery life but they’re pretty dang fast due to the reticle design (which can be commonly found in many red dot sights these days). I have an Eotech Exps3 / G33 magnifier set up on one of my ARs and love it. All in all, though, I gravitate most to a regular aimpoint with a simple dot, and battery life that will get you well through a year and beyond of constant power! [/QUOTE]
