  1. they're all fun to shoot. Some work better than others for some because of age. My vision really needs the good part of low power variable scope…really good. I love peep sights, always have , but my vision is not what it was. That is life.

  2. On your main rifle, 1x red dot with flip up back ups. Both zeroed at the most common engagement distance in your local area.

    And if you really want magnification a flip over red dot magnifier.

  3. Every time I try to mount iron sights on the top rail my OCD kicks in. My Iron sights are never centered in my red dot. I have to run offset irons. Out of sight till I need them.

  4. For Red dots my favorite and IMO the best red dot under 350 bucks is HS515CM.
    I prefer LPVOs. TR24R and P4Xi 1-4 are my favorite. I rarely shoot past 300 yards so the 1-4 work well for me .
    If I'm running a red dot I'm gonna be using 1/3 mount with DD FIXED BUIS . On my LPVO rigs I use Midwest or Magpul Folding BUIS..

  5. I've been shooting with iron sights for 3 decades now, hunting especially.Thought I would give optics a try last year and now I'm addicted to em! I didn't really consider them before because I lost an eye 13 or 14 yrs ago and just never used any prior.It was probably different finding what worked as a Cyclops rather than a lucky 3-D bastard?but I'll never know.Anyways this Cyclops is addicted to trijicon'$

  6. Great video I run a holographic sight on my MP 5 a LPVO on my Bren 2 11 inch 556 and a 6 x 24 scope on my 18 223 wydle AR 15 and my 762 X 51 and 6.5 Creedmoore AR 10 works well for me your mileage my vary.
