Which optic do you prefer if you only had 1 AR? Why?
rifle is a 5.56mm 16" M4 profile carbine, Larue 7.0 rail, PSA barrel/upper/LPK, CTR stock, Noveske Gen2 lower, Wilson Combat TTU drop in i like the ACOG, but the cost & weight have me reconsidering... |

poll coming Yep, got all the info we need there. Absolutely the TA31F for your specific situation. lol, sorry to have left you hanging SS No sweat. I was just being an ass. My specialty. What is your use of the rifle? Bench shooting? Steel plates and other plinking? 3 gun? Self defense? Hunting? SHTF? That drives the choice a bit. |

interesting, why do you prefer the PRO? Quoted:

Voted H1 and have one but I much prefer my PRO. interesting, why do you prefer the PRO? 30mm vs 20mm tube...I pick up the PRO faster. I also like the built in flip up caps (one of which you don't have to use) on the pro. Both are great quality but it's just preference for me. If weights a concern H1 wins. I'd like to try an ACOG but the cost keeps me out of that game. |

I tried one with a LaRue mount. It sat too low for me. |

A variable 1-6x would be close, but a compromise for some of those activities. Iron sights work for everything if you are so inclined, so that means an RDS will as well. Of the RDS choices, I'd go AimPoint. Since you aren't narrowing down usage scenario and don't have a 1-6x on the list, I'd vote ACOG, but for that money, I'd rather have this unless I was headed to a combat zone: Vortex Razor HD Gen II 1-6x24 |

Fantastic FOV, eye relief, eye box, brightness, illumination, and clarity. Incredibly versatile. But it's not in the poll, so ACOG. Bonus points - it's a lot lighter than the Razor. |

I just put a Aimpoint PRO and Vortec VMX 3T on an AR. My H1 is on a Browning Buckmark. |
| preciate the feedback y'all, ACOG is prohibitively expensive, but definitely my 1st choice.....not a fan of the vortex sparc 2 looks-wise, but what little i can find on it seems positive as far as durability & battery life ..very likely will end up with the H1 in a larue mount, just hoping to read some opinions from folks who have tried these or similar optics...the AR in question is definitely a "if you could only have 1 rifle" setup, surely most will agree there are better tools for CQB & LR than a 16" AR |
