No more, if this doesn't cover it, it won't be covered. I am not buying any more.... If I had a nickel for every time I've heard that, I could buy a fleshlight. I'm not going to dignify that with a response.... Because, mainly, I am not wanting to Google Fleshlight - again - to determine the price, in order to evaluate the accuracy of your comment.... Never again I tell you!

The man asked to sell him on a tritium sight or an EOTech. Which one would you suggest? They both suck enough that I will need an Aimpoint and a BFA light.... But, for those following along, the tritium is going into BU mode... Is an Aimpoint PRO a worthy investment? Cant knock it, but it’s heavy. It works, battery lasts, etc. I’d recommend a Trijicon MRO instead. Lighter, larger FOV, and amazing battery life. You may get one from LaRue with their mount for like $460. I swapped my first battery out around 6 years. I will take a look at those too. Thanks. Just ordered a Blitzkrieg. Latest update, despite 'Flave no likey, I want to try an Eotech before an Aimpoint or Trijicon.... If anyone wants to further continue making up chit claiming what I use, despite zero knowledge to base it upon, or even better, what I am actually fuucking thinking tonight, it'd be a good time for it. Curious what makes you want to try to Eotech? The new Trijicon has the donut dot reticle. I thought I liked the multiple aiming points on the eotech, but after discovering the 37yard (or whatever Shawn Ryan came up with), I prefer a single dot with that zero. You’re basically point and shoot out to 300 yards.

Astigmatism mostly, eg, to try a holographic sight. Compact tubes (like a Sig Romeo 5 type for example) and open reflex sights I have tried left me dissatisfied. Durability, takes a licking... I have ordered a 512 to see for myself. Single dot, but the 1moa seems small. But 'Flave said he hates them. US Made. Possibly not crap. I buy AAs in bulk.
Trijicon MRO looks great, but, I am royally turned off by reports of hugeass parallax.
Meprolight, cool but 1 year warranty is a concern.
Ordered an Aimpoint PRO as well. To see for myself...

Sounds like you have your bases covered.
I’m gonna have to check my parallax now I guess.

I will take a look. Thanks. Sounds like you have your bases covered.
I’m gonna have to check my parallax now I guess. Well, giving a couple a try at least. I will have to make it a point to check more out when I get somewhere that has them... The glowy post should be here, and tomorrow I should have the parts for the 11.5" build. I got my Cerakote operation up and running again..

He recorded the observed parallax shift of multiple model red dot optics (multiple samples of each) as made by numerous reviewers. Each reviewer's observations were tracked across optic platforms/individual samples and across the entire study. This helped to demonstrate sway and bias.

Thanks kingston. Better source than a random comment on a PewPew YouTube video then.

Interestingly, I have pretty strong stigmatisms in both eyes. The only red dot optic that has a clear well defined reticle for me is the same one that had the least amount of observed parallax in this study.

Very interesting study. Looks like an EXPS3 might be worth a try.

Didn't expect reticle to look dot matrix, however, no Starburst... Not correct fit on this as of current configuration. Will be looking (pun) where to stick it... First US made optic I have purchased in a while. Thanks dudes. That's better. Or here. Whorey hell's bells I got to use the mill. Wayyy better than the Makita.... And BSA would be proud of my gas tube blow! Never say never! AGB lines up for easy access.

Both of my AR's have Dueck off set sights with a XS Big Dot tritium in the front. It is fast and I can pick it up quickly in the house when the lights are out. I just look at it over the top of the peep aperture if close and in a hurry. Once one gets use to it they are plenty accurate for close u head shots and center mass past 25 yards. I go to a MRO or scope for distance. No light on my AR. Like a light on the 870 when it is in the tent and loaded with slugs. Darn brown bears.

I'm not sure why you would be shooting at anything in your house "when the lights are out?"
Dogs, kids, wife, this seems fraught with peril.
That's why I like lights and lasers.

I have such limited GAF right now, but, have zero doubt of the existence of times when a target can be clearly identified yet irons not. Tank you. Tank you very much. [/s]I kid you not! [/sarc]
Next up for the money drain.... Reasonable, but, high utility WML recommendations?

I'm am completely sure I will get roasted....but I'm a Surefire slut. Full stop.
In all my years, Surefire lights are the only ones I have developes complete faith in. They aren't cheap, they don't have eleventy eight modes of moonlight, but they work. Period. Every time.
