Quoted: Does anyone have multiple optic choices they use for a single upper? Thanks, Jim

I'm a big fan of the concept, weapons flexibility and even SHTF preparation.
Many say just build another upper for the other optic, well you could, why you could even build another upper for the iron sights. But with QD mounts like offered by LaRue Tactical, you really have the multiple optic option as the mounts really do hold zero with precision.
That's one reason I like the Aimpoint M3 with 3X Magnifier on a Samson Flip Mount. It's like having multiple optics without having to remove anything.
On my 20", I have a TA31F (BAC works really well for me) and also a Nightforce NSX 3.5-15X50 scope. The ACOG is the primary sight and allows long shots, but the NSX gives high magnification, greater precision and clarity for target shooting and would be excellent in a recon/sniper role.
Of course, I could just build another upper for the NSX, the other great reason for multiple optics.
