Torn between quick dot sighting or long range glass myself

I've used my 2moa PRO on an AR-15 out to 500yds, it worked great. If you set the brightness to a very faint setting, it's easy to aim very precisely.

I also have a T2, which has an even crisper dot, though I've only taken it out to 300yds.

Magnification is overrated; it's useful, but people use it unnecessarily. Especially when "parallax free" sights have a tremendous advantage.

To clarify I don't use a magnifier on the dots. Aimpoints are amazing general purpose sights.

This pertains to my interests. Supposedly you need a pretty robust optic for semi auto .308s because the bolt cycling is so violent. I fear I'm gonna have to shell out for an ACOG.

>>29562006
Are aimpoint reticules proprietary to the 223/556 round?? I've read online that some are and some aren't, which is why I asked for 308

That's what I'm afraid of too

It's just a 2 MOA dot. You can use any caliber with a Aimpoint.

literally buy a good quality optic like an aimpoint or mro

>>29562134
No It's just a dot, you can zero it for just about anything. There's no drop compensator.

>>29562129
An aimpoint PRO will hold zero on a .308 just fine.

How far do you plan on shooting?

Magnification is really only useful for Varmint hunting, paper, and altercations beyond 400 yards.

Seeing someone wearing camo at 200 yards can be difficult at best.

100-400 yards. Nothing too long range
