Hi all, I have a few AR's and need one more optic, but I'm not sure about what to add.
I currently have:
Rock River LAR-8 Predator 16" w/ Vortex 1-6x Strike Eagle.
Rock River AR-15 mid-length 16" w/ Vortex Sparc II AR
And I just finished building a mixed/multi AR 5.56 10.5" pistol that needs an optic.
I generally shoot on 100 yard ranges, but would like the 308 to have more precision than the 1-6x will provide. (My 50 year old eyes have kinda turned on me a bit...)
Same for the AR-15 with a Sparc, its capable of much more, but I like the simple small light-weight dot. I've considered adding a flip over magnifier?
I will put a simple dot on the AR pistol.
The options so far are:
Buy a Vortex 4-24x for the 308. and lose 1x capability in my all-purpose shtf hunter/defender, and its the most costly option.
Move the 1-6x Strike Eagle to the 16" AR15, gain 100yd accuracy, but add lots of weight/size/bulk and lose the Sparc's simplicity and quick dot attributes.
Move the Sparc to the AR pistol, all good there I suppose.
Or, leave everything as-is, add another Sparc to the AR pistol (most cost-effective, but now I'd have 2 Sparc's)
Or, put a Holosun HS510 on the AR pistol? More money than the Sparc, less money than a 4-24x + mount. I also really like the "shake awake" feature on a AR pistol.
Thanks for reading my covid boredom ramblings, I'd like to hear your thoughts as well as any better ideas you may have.
