I have asked around, got some info from some long time shooters..and trying to balance my decision..
With a scope that has 1.8-10x, a Doc. Optic brings nothing but advantages...that I can think of so far?
With 1.8x at the lowest setting, 44mm objective, that is about as low as it can get with the largest objective. Although, 1.8x is still alot of magnification for anything close in (0-25yards), and also it limits the field of view, IMHO.
So, to be able to transition from 1.8x to the red-dot, a plus.
Also, even shooting at a higher magnified power, 8ish-10ish, the optic allows you to engage anything that appears closer to you inbetween your previous target.
Its small, weighs barely anything.. mounts securely..
Anyone else want to chime in? Anyone else have a 1.8x and up scope with one mounted?
