mostly 100 yards but occasionally 200, if I could find a range at 300 but those are not the norm in New England. eyes are getting onld too.What will you shoot and how far?
Go LPVO.mostly 100 yards but occasionally 200, if I could find a range at 300 but those are not the norm in New England. eyes are getting onld too.
ETA, had a pinty but it died and it wasn't bad I have an old 1-4 on my 16" and it is nice too.
I have three setups, LPVO, RDS with magnifier and a 3x prism with 45 degree offset sights. I think the fastest and most intuitive is the one with the prism and offset sights.
I did that for my stribog build...i like it there... not sure I would do it on my rifles thoughMy next build will br a 14.5. I was thinking of just moving my 509t from a pistol. Watching this for other ideas.
I guess pretty close, like pistol range, and I start using the 3x at maybe 25 yards.At what distances do you feel you’re wanting to transition to the offset sights instead of the 3X? I find it just faster and easier to use the 3X just about all the way in.
For NE you can’t beat an rds and a quality magnifier. Get a Holosun HS510C with a HM3X.

He said range toy so runnin/gunnin doesn’t seem to be best use. Good points.Depends on the use.
I am a huge fan of a min 2x or 2.5x.
I took shots at 50 yards with it and 180 yards in heavy wooded areas with nice shooting lanes.
The 2X / 2.5x is perfect. You get everything you can get with an LPVO and red dot and more.
You get a larger lense, usually at 44 or 50, compared to an LPVO.
You get more magnification.
You get a scope that is usable at 20 yards or +200 yards.
However, this comes at the expense of added weight. But in a well balanced rifle with a proper sling, this is not a concern.
If running around, competing, shooting a lot of targets fast, then I would say Red Dot. Red dot will be the best option in this scenario.
In the end, it depends what the OP wants to do with it. From his post, it doesn't seem like running around and engaging multiple targets is going to be his thing.
I personally did a quality dot and magnifier combo.
Because I can't afford an elcan
I used this video to help with my decision.

In my head, you are either going to be at 1x or your max adjustment rarely in between.
And as pointed out in the video, dot and magnifier are faster at that.
Right now, I'm debating on trying a unity setup
Also, personally I enjoy the square lenses more so than round.
