I’ve been shopping for an optic for my new AR15. It’s a 14.5” Geissele Super Duty, and I want it to be sort of a general purpose/ready for anything type of setup. So it’ll have a weapon light, offset RMR, and a LPVO. The two LPVOs I’ve narrowed my decision down to are the Nightforce ATACR 1-8x or the Vortex Gen 3 Razor 1-10x.
Does anyone here have firsthand experience with either or both of this they could please share? The NF reticle someone concerned me as I’ve heard it described as “busy” and runs the risk of obscuring targets down range. Others have said the Vortex lacks the brilliantly clear color transmission of the NF. Can anyone confirm these anecdotes? So I’ve heard good and bad about both and I’m looking for more clarity. I can’t seem to find a shop in my area that has both for me to look through.
