Every year or so, I fall into the same cycle of consideration...
I like the idea of a red dot for a “short range only” rifle, so I pull one off of the shelf... within a couple of months, I want a closer look at targets, so I stick on a magnifier... and within a couple more months, I tire of the flip-flop game between zoom and no zoom, and I end up sticking moderate power zoom optic back on top, or at least an LPVO.
