AR Optics

If money isn't an object, and you want an AR style optic, trijicon ACOG is the way to go. Aimpoint w/ the magnifier is also GTG. As with cigars each to his own, but I absolutely abhor the eotech's.

I have shot 300 meter targets with an AR, I've seen AR's reach out to 500 meters, I've been told by sources I trust about 800 meter shots, and then there was that Cpl from Cullman, Alabama, hit a guy square in the chest with an M4 at 1000 yards. If you want something to "reach out and touch 'em" I wouldn't use an AR. IMHO.

While I'm by no means an incredible shooter, I can say confidently with my aimpoint I can consistently touch 300 meters with an AR. The magnifier on that is more accurate. An ACOG was the absolute bee's knees when I used it in Afghanistan.
