1,000 Yards with an AR 15 gahhhh damn, I want them on my side when the economy collapses.
No acog in line up?
"a scope like this" Serious. How am I supposed to know what brand it is?
ummmmmmm i thought of EOtech anybody else?
I'm guessing that you're not a fan of the 3x Magnifier/RDS combo? I blew a bunch of money on my pair and really wish that I had just bought a 1-8 variable power scope, anyone else out there feel the same? I was told on multiple forums to purchase a scope instead, should've listened!
Funny no mention of the ACOG…while pricey, it makes shooting so much fun. At 100m hitting the bull is routine. I was laughing and telling some other shooters it makes it as easy as a video game. I hope to try the bullet compensation this year with some longer range shooting in Idaho.
If you are willing just spend $135 you can get a $50 bushnell TRS-25 3 MOA with a UTG riser for $10 and a UTG magnifier for $75, it's a super good deal for good optics.
I love how all these sidewalk commandos want a 24mm Obj. w/ "True 1X"! As if that gives em an edge in a real world fight. Yeah try that combo after dark  The same is true for a RD, a cheap RD is your worst enemy. Walk away from these 3-Gun Fap Optics that only work in daylight!Get a 2-7X32 or 3-9X40 illuminated in your price range, Leupold makes a bunch of em.
I really!! need professional input on this. I want flip up iron sights on my ar and a red dot sight that will co witness and a scope mounted on a 45% just in case. I'd like to add I have an ar for the practicality not amusement what do you think? can it be done?
What about these "3X fold away" scopes that are used in combination with the red-dots? You use the red-dot in close situations then fold in the 3X & use both for more distant shots.

Vortex Strike Eagle 1x6x24. A lot of scope for the money and true 1x. This has been the only optic for some reason that I can use both eyes open. But again it is a sweet optic!
Awesome video. Thanks.
it would be nice if you told us the brands
Nice info.. but I didn't like the look of not one of them scopes. Not saying anything bad of them. I'm a Acog junky.
Iron pep sights.
thanks for the info !!!
Find a 1-4×24 optic that you like and you can afford. I prefer the Trijicon Accupoint TR24 1-4×24 with the green triangle dual illuminated riticule. This optic is not only light, but makes fast CQB shots easy, and handles 300+ yards with ease…… And yes, it is $800+, but just like Surefire. Buy once cry once.
So do you think an EOTECH product is still something to be considered, now that they have been prosecuted?
why didn't you say the brand for the 3-12 scope. i typed on the search on google, it came out "UTG 30mm SWAT 3-12X44 Compact IE Scope". It's totally confusing, if the name your saying, isn't what comes out on searches. Brand name is needed, so we can get it right.
NEED HELP! Can some one name the riser on the Bushnell TRS25 at 1:25????
great review mate, thanks full of good advice. Im off just now to the store to get me a 1 to 8.Â
I like the idea of a mid range scope but is a good quality scope in this range/
i'm looking at a scope package, one comes with a 3x9x40 scope and a red dot the other is a 4-12×50 scope with a red dot. what is the difference in the scopes? i don't know anything about scopes or long distance shooting but want to do long and short distance shooting with one weapon
what are the good 1-6 or 1-8 optics he mentioned?
Great information. Well Done! Thanks
Pistols and shotguns are more close quarter environment appropriate.
Good info
how far can you shoot a red dot
Love Aimpoints…however the Trijicon ACOG TA44S got the nod for me…gives a small magnification with ridiculous eye relief…makes it a very effective setup out to 200yrds
Eotech, or Aimpont, you cant go wrong with either
What would be a good red dot for shot guns?
Super!
I love the Eotech magnifiers!
AI
Man great input, we were limited into 5 minute segments, next time we will give you more details
This was very informative and helped me understand the optics that are available.
No mention of the flip up magnifiers for the EOtechs/similar red dots? Seems to be a great option.
SO COOL!
I note the use of "close range and long range", but no definitions. I'd enjoy hearing their thoughts about where the line between the two is, in their opinions. 🙂
