Best Combat Optics

[cory]

What I've understood about variable optics that start with 1x is that the Binden concept (both eyes open, red dot from a 4x optic is superimposed onto the field of vision) is better in theory than in practice, particularly at short range panic mode clearing buildings and rooms.

So I've assumed that guys don't necessarily like having a 1x in a tube-type optic, but prefer to reserve them for EOTech's and such. But then one has to add the zoom-power magnifier which, again, seems like a clumsy solution.

I've owned an exps2 with magnifier (the gen before the latest), I felt like the magnifier operation was very smooth. I sold it intending to buy the HHS I, but ended up getting a good deal on an ACOG TA31F. That and the engineer/prepper in me didn't like being reliant on an electronic/batteries for a long term optic.

If eotech or anyone would develop a 5x or 6x magnifier with a milspec ranging reticle for the eotech's I'd sell this acog in pick that up in a second.
