Close Quarter tactical optics
So I am awaiting the arrival of my rifle kit from PSA and now I am looking for optics to go along with it. Any good recommendations for optics for Close Quarter tactical type of applications that is around $200 or lower?

Re: Close Quarter tactical optics
Check the red dots in the link below. Street price will get you close to $200. Reviews are generally good.
I have my eye on their 3x magnifier behind an eotech 512 I picked up second hand.

These are generally couple of hundred bucks less than the EOtech products. How do they compare?

Get Bushnell or Leupold Holo Displays. I do not like the Red dots in a tube. They obscure your view a lot especially at CQC. Other option TLR-2 HL or TLR-2G HL.

Not speaking from experience but it seems to me in CQC it would be better to just use your naked eyes.
Re: Close Quarter tactical optics
Checkout Holosun optics. Super high quality and in that range

You said "naked eyes", oh gosh, think about the children!
For a proper PC description: We say "Unaided Eyes" doncha know...?

Now off to the range for me and mine!

Re: Close Quarter tactical optics
I only know what the reviews had to say. In some areas better and other not as good. I went thru a lot of reviews online and my impression is they are a good middle priced item. The eotech 512 was $275 used at a gun show. That was hard to turn down especially as it was in good physical shape. If the dealer I was talking with had not taken the 512 in trade the day before I would have likely purchased a vortex. Not likely I will find a eotech 3x discounted like a 512. Once the holidays are behind the vortex 3x will be part of my kit.Rayden wrote:These are generally couple of hundred bucks less than the EOtech products. How do they compare?

Chance favors the prepared. Making good people helpless doesn't make bad people harmless.

Sometimes I really wish a lawyer would chime in and clear things up. Do we have any lawyers on this forum?
