What Is The Best Low Magnified Combat Optic?

When you chuck a $1400 optic at the start, you immediately have all my attention!!

Me eating chips: still is

Great video….but often times there’s no need to push all the way to max magnification. Just a quick slap/push to 3 power would be enough for that distance. And would shave some time.

Lpvos are great but the acog with top mounted rmr is still the best optic setup unless your shooting past 400 all the time…

Can’t beat the Eotech Hybrid!!! I love that set up! I have it on my MK18 as well!!!

Easy answer why the rds+magnifier was faster inside 100yds. Combination between just flipping magnifier and the wider field of view. This would be a better test at a longer distance such as 300+yds. Yes you can hit 200 or 300 with a red dot or even irons all day but it's much easier to see the target and get PID with more magnification.

When comparing the VCOG to the NF, the VCOG wins in my opinion. It has more than triple the battery life and an integrated mount. I also love the double-A battery factor. I almost got a NF ATACR but those details sealed the deal for me. I got the VCOG SCO and still saved a few hudred bucks when you factor the price of the mount.

My Eotech EXPS2 survived my AR exploding.

Did you zero all of the optics prior to the test? And at what zero?
I feel like that should’ve been discussed in detail prior to the testing.
In all honesty, I’ve seen too many soldiers have issues using the CCO.

I heard it break

What about that MERCH 1×10 parallax free ?

I am tryna decide on a optic for when i get my tavor as a combat rifle so far leaning towards the exp and magnifier or the vudu 1-6 vs vcog.

No need to unshoulder to bang from 1x to max. Especially with a throw lever. I got rid of mine on my LPVOs because they are just a kit snag that has jacked my magnification setting and aren’t much faster in reasonable transition to max distance. There are more usable magnifications on these optics that seem to get overlooked in their reviews. Of the few LPVOs I have the Vortex is the most difficult to get to max quickly. I can live with it over thinking I’m on 1x and pulling up to like 2. Something.

Swampfox 1×10 is dutygrade and hits every box for the cost.

I went Vortex 1-6 Razor E. I find it to work well.

Hi Clint I am new to the ar and on a budget. I have the mp sport 2 and love it but would really like better optics the red/ green dot it comes with . What would you suggest I look at for up 100 yards and close range on a budget
Thank you keep up the great vids and info

Great comparison, thanks!!

You guys should test a variable magnifier with that Eotech iv been looking around for one and only found one so far from lucid.

I make over 100k a year and this is dumb

I have the right to bear arms just as long as your rich af

Bass pro here I come hope u can chase me

Ganna go scope out Az off grid spots see if I can roll up and just punk someone

I’m not paying no car price for a scope I will just take it

Where can I rob people to steal these

EOTech w/ magnifier is my favorite setup.

If your looking at a scope and it's at 1x and things look smaller, it's because your not at the right focal length. Try getting closer.

I'd like to see the Eotech 5x vs the rest, though I imagine the results will be the same. Maybe we could get a comparison between the G33 and G45?

I love my 1-10 swampfox and only $550 ish

The acog ta33 has much better eye relief than other models and 3x is plenty for medium distances and just fine closer in
More robust and lighterweight than all other options you showed here

This reminds me of the elcan spectre, the optic that has a magnification switch. I have an eotech but my eyes are bad so the reticle is really bad and fuzzy without my eye contacts or glasses. I really like fiber optics because of electronic/battery failure.

Comparing time for shooting 6-9 rounds? Sooo difficult to cout to 4 each time…

Any opinions on that primary arms GLX 2x prism?

Would be curious to see this done with the 6X Vortex magnifier.

So are prism scopes completely obsolete.

What rings do you have on the Vortex and Nightforce?

So is that acog your next give away? Lol

Add a 3-12 scope set on 12 power with a 45 degree dot for the close shot. Curious on the time.

Very nice video Clint! If I might make a suggestion. If the camera work could be changed slightly to show a sight picture down each tube say in a screen as a comparison so we could see some of the differences ourselves, that would better. Even a split screen maybe, for a display of all the optics at one time for a few seconds. Thanks, and keep up the great videos!

Funny how many ACOG's have shown up on ARFCOM EE after this video.

my brother knows a guy from vortex and he said what makes more or less light come through the lens is the variety of special coatings that the mfg puts on them not the size of the objective lens.

1-8×24 PSA

So if you don’t need that acog. Please send to me. Lol.

Try it with a 45 degree micro dot and your lpvo set to the highest power and see if that’s any faster

I run the eotech with a magnifier. This is the reason. It's combat proven and fast fast fast
