How about "anything but a POS Eotech"
While I overseas I personally saw so many Eotechs fail I will only recommend them to the enemy.
I run a Aimpoint PRO on my 10.5" gun that I use for work. It is primarily used around vehicles, and such rarely anything static in nature so it makes sense for the role.
Additionally, have an older TAO1 with the original crosshair reticle (still like it best, especially for hitting at extended ranges) on my lightweight all around 16" Colt carbine. These did not come with mounts, so I had one custom built to mount an RDO. It is a very practical setup.
Overseas I ran an illuminated Leupold 1.5-5 with covered turrets and considered it to be about ideal during that time.
These days if I was in the market for an all around optic for a RECCE type rifle, I would buy a low powered variable in the 2.5-10 range (MIL/MIL reticle and turrets) and add an RDO on top. More likely than not a Nightforce 2.5-10.
Buy once, cry once. Be done.
