Okay, so i'm sorry if this topic has already been posted - tried using the search function but was unable to find anything similar to what I am asking.
Lets start with some brief background:
I just bought myself a SR-15 E3 Knights Armament chambered in 5.56x45 and *absolutely* LOVE IT. However, my next decision is what optics I want to put on it. I dont see myself using the rifle anywhere out past 200-300 yards (as i dont think anyone should with a 5.56), with the primary number of targets being within the 50-150 yard range. I am primarily concerned with durability and the reliability/accuracy of the product. My main concern with the Trijicon Acog scopes is quick target acquisition and using a 4x magnification at close range. I absolutely love the Triji acogs with the holo sight on top, but I dont really want to spend more than $1200 on the sights. Inevitably, during my search I have encountered the EOtech G33 but have heard some mixed reviews about these.
So I guess i'm wondering if you guys should shed some light on the EOtech G33 (the normal holo with a flip up magnifier) regarding its durability, and how helpful the 3x magnifier actually is - IE: does it actually make a difference thats worth the extra $500.
I'd also be curious to see what those of you who have used the 4x trijicon acog think about close range target acquisition.
Of course, other suggestions are always welcome. For example, right now I am leaning towards the EOtech (though I am concerned with its durability) and maybe getting a more powerful magnifier from another company...any suggestions here?
Anyways, I think you guys get the idea and I can't wait to hear what you have to say.
Thanks for the input,
-Dave
