I avoid the following. BSA, NSTAR, new TASCO, anything airsoft, anything that looks likes is a re-badged version of those 3. I also try to avoid MASSIVE variable power scopes the have HUGE bell diameters.
Reflex (red dot)
I use Trijicon, Aimpoint and Primary Arms
EOTECH is fine, I just personally don't like to use them.
I have a astigmatism so red dots have a halo effect and I prefer the softer 'point' of a Trijicon.
Primary Arms is a great for the money and is fine for most people who aren't going to war. They are great to keep around to use until you decide on a final optic.
Rifle Scopes
I mostly use 1-4x tactical unless shooting at 600-1000 yards and then they vary depending on rifle. Hunting rifles are mostly 1-4x or 3x9x
I use Trijicon, Leupold, Bushnell(Bausch & Lomb), Nikon, Redfield (very old and new), Old Weaver, 'other'
BUIS
Troy, Knight Armament, LMT, Magpul (usually I put Magpul on a new build until I settle on one of the other 3)
The vast majority of my shootings is 75 yards and under or 600-1000 yards. I shoot a variety of calibers but mostly stay in the .308/5.56 unless it very old military rifles and then its a mixed bag. I do shoot iron sights a lot at 600-1000 yards and it's probably my favorite thing to play around with using old military rifles from WWI and WWII.
My hunting varies and I choose the rifle based on what ever I haven't used in a while. The majority of my shots are under 200 yards. I have been using a 8.2" suppressed 300 BLK w/ 1-4x Trijicon scope lately and have been having great success with it.
Yesterday I took my Krinkov in 5.56x45 and set it up to run with the .30 cal AAC suppressor. Here is a quick video showing the difference is sound suppression and muzzle blast/flash.
Here is a gratuitous video....LOL
