I'm looking for the cheapest solution that won't rattle apart.



I'm building up a 10/22 rifle with a Nordic Components AR22 stock. I am going to be shooting some "just for fun" rifle matches with it that have targets anywhere from 5 to 150 yards away.



I want the option to have both magnified, and 1X optics on the rifle, and the ability to rapidly switch between them.



I already have an old (8 years or so)  Eotech sight that I could use for the 1X optic, and then put a magnifier behind it. I am considering the vortex magnifier with the swing mount, unless there is a cheaper option that would work just as good. I have read bad reviews of the mounts sold with the "UAG, UTG, SightMark, etc" mounts and magnifiers.



My other option would be to put a traditional rifle scope on the rail for a magnified optic, and then purchase a small reflex sight and mount it on a 45 degree adapter to use for the close-up targets. This option is one that I haven't researched well to even have an idea on prices.



I'm hoping you all can point me in the right direction. I suspect the 45 degree angle mount might be the most affordable of the two because a "workable" scope for the rifle can be had fairly cheap (I probably have one lying around) and I would just need to get a very small, reasonably priced reflex sight to mount on the 45 degree offset mount for the close targets.



What do you suggest?

Have you seen the Muzz Elite stock?

You don't see too many Bullpup guns at the range compared to the AR look,

Yes. I didn't want a bullpup rifle.



What I do want to know, is which of the two aforementioned combinations would be the most cost-effective way to quickly switch between 1X and magnified optics on this (or any) rifle.
