I like the weight savings of a fixed optic. however for the battle rifle role, I would either recommend a LPVO.
or if you do go fixed, consider adding a offset / piggyback RMR |

Check out the eotech Vudu 1-6ffp
At 1 power it's the standard eotech reticle and above that becomes a nice BDC reticle. |

If you're able to step up to the GLx series of PA optics I think you'll be very happy. The new GLx 1-6 is a significant improvement from the previous version and the SLx models.

I'd go with a Vortex LPVO.
Primary's warranty sucks. |

I have settled on the simplicity side of this topic. Many good reasons for something more complex, no doubt.
The SIG Bravo 5 is what I ended up with and have found that to be ideal. Heavy for sure, but rugged and I like the reticle. Being lit is nice, but honestly I don't use the light much, the glass quality is great and provides plenty of light for me. I do 90% of my shooting in the woods. Lots of shade. |

I would prefer a LPVO that is illuminated.
I also rarely us the illumination, but there might come a time I wish I had it. Better to have it available, than not. |

A heavy LPVO on a heavy rifle,......pass.
My choice would be one of the PA GLX 3X prisms that just came out. If 300 yards is your intended engagement distance, a 6X LPVO won't make a huge difference on man sized targets at that range. |

1-6 SFP is my favorite optic.
Delta Stryker is my go to. Crazy good optic for the price. The Kahles k16i if you want to step up a notch. Those are two of the lightest LPVOs on the market. Pair with a good lightweight mount to keep the weight off. |

I have a vortex gen ii spitfire in both 3x and 5x. My favorite budget prism optics by far. I had gen ii and gen III primary arms prisms in 3x and 5x. I have a 5x with the aurora reticle. The vortex has brighter clearer glass by far, they are super light weight, and the illumination is better than primary arms prisms. I shoot steel out to 500 yards with 5.56 with them. That distance is pretty much the limit for the ammo I am using.

Here is the 5x gen ii spitfire. I forgot to also mention I prefer the reticle over a chevron reticle as well.
