If I had a spot for a 2k bandsaw I'd agree with you haha.Originally Posted by rob_s
I guess I gotta opt for the poors hipster move. There was a time in my life when I'd happily drop $2k on a scope, but after years of doing that I'd rather have the $2k bandsaw

A thoughtful friend told me he is considering an Eotech and 3X magnifier in lieu of a LPV.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
I can’t speak to the 1-6, but I’ve been completely happy with my Meopta ZD 1-4. I like the 1x and 4x view, the brightness of the reticle is great, the battery life has been good, and has given me no trouble bouncing into 3-Gun barrels for the better part of a decade. The only thing I dislike is that the reticle is almost nonexistent without power. I too heard about them from Jody.
Curious to see where D4 goes with this setup

Well.... that's good to hear, because my TrumpBux finally came today. I took it as a sign from the Lord.
Grabbed an Optika6 1-6 SFP with the KDOT reticle from Eurooptic. Planning to use the ADM 30mm QD mount that the Vortex 1-4 is currently occupying. Will report back with my impression, looks like it should get here next week sometime.
Thanks for that.
I've been using Geissele and very happy, but the C1 line brings some interesting options and the height seems to be a good compromise.

I have been running the Meopta Optika6 1-6x24 for 9 months now and I am impressed. Mine sits on one of my favorite AR's that my son now thinks is his! A true 1X makes both eyes open shots a breeze. Even with a 24mm Obj. this optic is bright and makes getting on target easy. I opted for the SFP option thinking that FFP would tax my old eyes just a little too much. Check out Google for help finding this scope, they are out there. For the price, I think you will be very happy.

Tagging on the Bushnell recommmendation.
Bushnell 1-6.5 SMRS family is solid, there have been 3 generations to date IIRC: original SMRS, SMRS gen2 and now SMRS II.
The first gen FFP reticle wasnt very usable down low - too fine. Only the SFP made sense (BTR-2) and it was bangin. Glass was OK, resolution off center was poor. That said, I really liked the one I had in 3gun and could not beat it to death. 2nd gen glass improved a lot at some weight increase. 3rd gen SMRS II is GTG as well although Inmuch prefer the older BTR-2 style reticle for a close/intermediate 5.56 rifle.
SWFA SS HD are very reliable and I find the Donut of death great at close range. I don't think they have a 1-4 HD any more. The 1-6 HD is 14oz, but clunky rerticle.
The non-HD 1-4 is the best budget value ($400) out there IMO. I would love to see that reticle in a 1-6 HD.
Steiner P4Xi was on the heavy side, I like some thicker elements to a close range reticle though.
The only reason I do't own one or more SWFA 1-4 or 1-6 is the lack of capped turrets. Target turrets or dialing make no sense to me on a 1-4 or a 1-6 a
