The Holosun and PA models we're talking about are the same format as the Aimpoint H1/T1/etc, just a miniature red dot sight. It's not a magnified optic, the field of view depends how close it is to your eye, and is pretty much the same as the Aimpoint versions. That's a totally different thing than talking about field of view in a magnified optic.

The functional difference between a "reflex" sight like an RMR vs a tube sight like an Aimpoint T1 is just the housing; they both work the same way and the "field of view" is pretty much irrelevant.
