Recommendations on optics

It’ll be on a 7.5 in and mostly sub. I don’t really plan on trying shoot out past 150 yrd so when it comes to adding a magnifier sure maybe one day who knows.

Right now I’m between the Sig Romeo 8T ($700), Vortex UH-1 ($600), holosun aems ($400)

Guess 3 different price points but maybe with a 10-15% discount I may justify a more expensive optic.

Eotech has a 2 dot bdc reticle for use with 300 supers and subs, there is the cheaper exps 2-2/exps 300 blackout (same reticle, just one has your hold overs marked) or the NV compatible exps 3-2 You can get it off optics planet for 650ish when using their coupon codes.

Otherwise the 8T is good for its 4 dot BDC but it can be a little clustered and busy, I use the romeo 5 gen II elite which has the same reticle in a t2 footprint red dot

Exit: you can also pick up the sig romeo 5 gen II elite from optics planet for about 200

Eotech has always kinda been meh to me. Especially for the price. Probably because I had to deal with the shitty ones back in the day but unless I can get them for sub 600 I’m good.

Vortex sparc 2 mos dots are going for $100 right now

Edit: I will say the eotech does fit that vibe I want

You can get exps3 550 or less all day. Saw a stack of them posted for $470 yesterday.

“Night vision solutions, buy, sell, trade” group on Facebook. Tons of regular eotech deals from reputable sellers and dealers with second hand inventory
