Agreed. If you want a magnified optic with the speed of a red dot you will need to add a red dot on top of the scope or in an offset mount. The smaller ones work well, RMR, Fastfire, venoms...

It depends on the scope, supersetca on youtube runs 1-4/6's vs eotechs and he gets some times that are less than .1 faster with an eotech but some scopes he gets faster than the eotech. My TR24 is like a dot to me. Sometimes with a small dot I feel that I have to chase the dot.

If you want the fastest possible optic for 50 yards and in then a red dot is the answer.
If you want an optic that is not dependent on eye relief to properly see the reticle then a red dot is the answer.
If you want an optic that you know is always going to be at a true 1x then a red dot is the answer.
if you want an optic that is easiest to use in unconventional shooting positions then a red dot is the answer.
If you want an optic that is parallax free then a red dot is the answer. (in most cases)
if you want the freedom to mount your optic as far forward as you want or as far backward then a red dot is the answer.
If you want to weapon mount a NV monocular for passive night shooting then a NV compatible red dot is the answer. (yes, I know there are magnified setups that can use night vision, but we are talking ease of use and simplicity)
If you want an optic that is consistent in all conditions and not dependent on the ambient lighting in order to have a clear view of the reticle and the tube then a red dot is the answer.
If you want an optic that can easily be used with both eyes open techniques during quick transitions then a red dot is the answer.

It goes without saying that a quality red dot will be better at all these things.

If you are willing to sacrifice the efficiency of any of the above points or you need the magnification for longer range shooting or target ID then go with a 1-4x or other magnified optic of your choosing.

[Last Edit: Smithy] [#12]
The top picture was my Mini Recce. This was about a year ago. The second picture is its current config. The optic is Aimpoint Comp M2 4 MOA. Much happier with this. The last picture is my current Recce. Two different rifles, two different roles. One does not try to be the other.

I would be confident using the SBR with the aimpoint on anything 300 yards and in. I shot a run and gun this summer and nailed the 500 meter target 2 out of 3 times with a fixed 2.5x. With the 4moa optic 500 yards would be tough to do consistently but that's not what this rifle is for.

How perfect do you think your eye relief needs to be when your at CQB distances?

The guys in the video are comparing the speed of optics at 7 yards. You could probably go with no optics at 7 yards and get hits just as quick on man sized targets. So, they proved nothing.

What do you consider cqb distance? Arms length? Hand grenade range?

I consider it inside 50 meters.

From experience I would say when using an optic that has an eye box you need to in for a proper sight picture approaching 50 meters proper relief is very important. Not an issue with red dots. Edit: probably closer than 50 meters even, maybe more like 25.

If my rifle is specifically for 100 meters and in with the occasional shots to around 300 I'll stick with a red dot.

Different strokes for different folks.

Agreed. 10 yards and in, find the illuminated reticle, put it on target, and pull the trigger. Don't worry about perfect head position. Granted, scopes with larger eye boxes do make the shooting experience more enjoyable.

Like I said before, engagements at extreme close distances such as 7 yards or even 10 yards can be done damn near with your eyes closed. I'm exaggerating, but you get my point. I am explaining the need, or lack there of, and practicality of a magnified variable power optic over a red dot for a 100 meters and in. I have already stated all the pros of a red dot over a variable optic at 100 meters and in so I will not repeat them here.

So we can stop with the "10 yards and in crowd".

10 yards and in? It really doesn't matter, point and shoot.

100 yards and in Red dot is king.

Distances over 100-300 meters (depending on the rifle and its intended use) a variable powered optic might be what you seek.

In the end get what you like and what meets your expectations and intent of the weapon it will be placed on and train with it.

Edit to add:

For a short range rifle intended for 100 meters and in use, I will pick a red dot any day over a prismatic or variable scope at 1x. Try shooting around or under cars, on your back, in unconventional positions, shooting with body armor and other gear that could possibly hinder your ability to get proper eye relief on the scope.

The red dot has its place as does the variable 1-4x or 1-?. I would venture to say anybody lurking in this particularly thread will probably go with a variable optic.

Thanks.

The mlok covers are magpul. The hand stop is a no name stop that I found on the cheap. Its purpose is to give a good index for my off hand and to keep it from coming forward of the muzzle. It also works good on barracades. I am think about milling some teeth in the front to dig in better during barracade shooting.

Define your criteria for "lightweight."  It could mean different things to different people

Most compact variable power scopes are between 14-18ozs.  If your 1-4 PST had adjustable turrets it weighed 16ozs. Going with the capped turrets model gets you down to 14ozs.  The Leupold VX-R patrol 1.25-4 weighs 11.5ozs. That's pretty light.  But, what's the most important thing to you? If it's weight then go with the Leupold.  If it's reticle or having as close to a true 1x, then the PST you had was a pretty good option.

Doing something like an Aero precision ultralight mount at 3ozs and some change saves you 5ozs over an American Defense recon QD mount.  
QD vs non, you decide.


I guess what I'm trying to say is: the Vortex 1-4 PST is by no means a pig. Is it heavier than an Aimpoint micro with mount (6ozs) ? Yeah, you're gonna feel the difference.  But I don't think shaving a couple ounces off the scope and/or mount is going to make you feel better.  

Maybe a heavier stock would.

Take a look at the TR24 triangle. It's very light for a lpv, good glass, and for me at least very fast close and I can hit with relative ease out to 400 meters. I have one on my mini recce and it handles great. I almost sold mine but decided to keep it for that reason. Plus you get daytime illumination and the triangle is still usable with a white light, just blacked out.

I agree with everything in that statement. I've only had my triangle out to 250 but hitting a 6inch plate was not a problem, I also have the german crosshairs on another rifle and I've hit jack rabbits out to 315 with that scope. I will say the non triangle reticles are not that bright because the area they filled with tritium is small. For a general purpose 0-300 man sized targets, triangle all day, print smaller groups on paper or hitting smaller targets I would go with german, mil dot, or if you get the TR25 I would look at the moa dot.

I've used a TR24 with the German #4 green dot since 2010 in 3 gun competitions and some coyote hunting.
I started with the green triangle and just couldn't do it. The crosshairs were much more natural for me.
The TR24 is now on my 11.5" Mod 2 and I have a TR25 with moa dot on the 16". To be honest I haven't used the TR25 enough to form an opinion from experience. Only used it on my own range time, no competitions or classes with it. Hoping to change that in 2017 and get some experience behind it.

I know we're getting tired of seeing the same pics but I haven't been able to snap any new ones. I'll try to this week sometime. Maybe some video too.
