Looking for input of an optic for a Bushmaster Predator in .223. Use would be informal target shooting, friendly 3-gun style matches and double duty as a defensive rifle (although my CAR-15 is primary). I don't hunt and I don't shoot bullseye type target matches.
Option 1 is the Leupold CQ/T. 1-3x power, illuminated with a battery, circle dot reticle, A4 mount.
Option 2 is a Trijicon ACOG (TA33-8). 3x power, fiber optic/tritium illuminated, chevron/BDC reticle, A4 mount.
So what do you think would be a better match for the gun and why? I have herd the CQ/T has a field of view that puts the ACOG to shame, but the ACOG reticle seems superior. Price is pretty much the same for me so that is not an issue.
Please and thank you,
