I am a fan of LPVO's on rifles, love my Steiner and my Accupoint, but I don't plan to run one on my registered SBR. My current military grade red dots are somewhat aged. and a couple of generations behind I suspect, all Aimpoint Comp C, M, or ML2 in 15+ year old GG&G mounts.
I have a Sig Romeo 5 and a comparable Vortex unit. Those are bright, clear, and I love the "wake up" feature on that Romeo 5. However those currently live on uppers I consider range toys. I am not sure how durable/reliable those scopes really are, although that distrust may not be justified.
Just seeking opinions here. If you were to go out and buy a "serious" non-magnified 4 moa or 2 moa red dot for a registered 11.5 AR SBR (e.g. Colt 6933) what would your first choice be today and why?
thanks
