So I'll be looking at EOtech (Red dot/3x magnifier combo maybe), Aimpoint, the Elcan Specter DR, and some other stuff.

Know that a hybrid sighting setup is very long and heavy. While it does give you some flexibility, it takes up a lot of space on your receiver.

I would go with a small 1-4x scope if I were you, as opposed to a fixed magnification like with an ACOG. If you have never looked through one, the eye relief is very strange. A regular scope is much more forgiving.

EDIT: I have a review of an EOtech XPS2 and magnifier on my YouTube channel. It was unfortunately filmed with a shitty camera but it's there.
