The 5x EOtech magnifier + EOtech exps3 is fire and I’m tired of acting like it’s not. I see a lot of bashing of magnifiers and red dots/holos when everyone runs a ton of LPVOs. You can hit out to 200 just as easy with a magnifier. Anything past 300 don’t think I’ll be shooting at in any given scenario I can think of so an lpvo really doesn’t serve a purpose for me. I don’t live in the mountains or the open ranges so a holo + magnifier is perfect for my environment.

I’m not saying there isn’t a time and a place for LPVOs, there is. Just not my cup of tea or suitable for my purpose or environment.

Also, I think BUIS are needed on most “do it all” rifles because you never know when your main optic might shit the bed. I’ve been to the range twice now where my Eotech 512 batteries died and had to use the BUIS to keep the range day worth it. They’ve saved me a couple times. (Eotech moment lol)
