Help me choose a "red dot" optic and magnifier. Everyone makes them now. Last one I purchased was an eotech setup. are they still king of the hill or have other viable options emerged that give you value for your $$$$. I have a grand in my Eotech setup and would like to come in cheaper on this build if possible.

I don't have nor have I used a magnifier setup so no help there. I did just get the new gold dot from Holoson. The new color looks promising in my office, thats about as far as I have gone with it. It can have the circle dot like the Eotech but also can be just the circle or the dot. Might be worth a look.

If I had a huge budget, I would go aimpoint comp m5s and aimpoint 6x magnifier. Tbh, the LPVO game has made magnifier-dot setups more obsolete. Also, any specific reason you want a magnifier? You can shoot pretty far with just a dot as long as you know your holdovers. If it was me, I would see what I am doing with the gun. I would then go just red dot or LPVO, not magnifier.

Really trying to decide on an optic for the build. Will be shooting subsonics from <100-150yds. I've always wanted an ACOG.. Is that a good enough reason to own one?

I haven't used my magnifier since I went the LPVO route.

Ya. Although if you are shooting those distances, I would suggest the 1.5x acog.

Ordered my CMC trigger. Any suggestions for buffer tube/buffer for this one? Will I want a H3?

I hear they have a great recoil cycle. If I had to buy a gun for 3 gun, would most likely be a JP.
The Kahles is awesome. Glass is as good as swaro but the optic is rugged enough that some people have deployed with them.

At least you’ll look good lol

I’ll be right next to you with my stock Glock, V11, and a Beretta 1301.

Have you ever shot a JP? Smooth as glass!

I used to get intimidated before matches by dudes with all the fancy gear until I realized they couldn't put it to good use (present company excluded)

it's not like these are slouch guns

looking forward to it, should be a lot of fun. Jude is the best handgun instructor I've had, and I've been with several "celebrity" instructors
