I thought it might be worth while to have a thread showing different types of optics, in case anyone new to the game wanted to compare them. Not artsy, but just a photo. I know we all have so many optics it might be a good resource. Maybe if it's a good enough thread, we could get it pinned.

Here's an Eotech 512

Well ... I'm no photographer and macro photography is not my strong suit. I gave it a try though!

EoTech view w/out magnifier


EoTech and Po' Boy in tandem. Notice the light switch


Keep in mind the Po' Boy is only listed as a 2.5x magnifier.

I love the combo because it is so versatile. Flip magnifier to side when up close and personal for fast target acquisition and flip back up when you need that little extra for the farther shot but still keeping the excellent EOTech 65 MOA ring surrounding the 1 MOA dot reticle.

I just bought an S&W AR 15. I was going to use it for varmint hunting. I have never messed with these tatical guns. I was wondering what would be the best combination of optics for night calling for shots from 25 to 75 yards?
