Vortex AMG UH-1 now NV Compatible - True Eotech Killer now?

Yeah, it seems like it varies so much from person to person that the only way around it is to try them all out, which is unfortunate because that gets expensive.

Oddly enough, my M68/Comp M2 with a 4 MOA dot is probably one of the cleanest to my eyes. My Comp M5 is next best, followed by my T2. I ditched my T1 for the same reason. It was about on par with my EoTech. Every time I got behind either of those I end up with some goofy Mickey Mouse head shaped reticle instead of a clean dot. A G33 magnifier behind my Aimpoints actually cleans up the dot, while the same magnifier behind my EoTech actually makes the issue more noticeable.

Of course none of those issues are all that bad up close, but become a pain trying to get a solid zero or making good hits past 200 without magnification.

I haven't jumped on the general purpose LPVO train just yet, but my eyes are starting to push me that direction.

I've said this for years, more gun stores with ranges should let customers rent optics on store owned firearms. It would save people so much money from buying the wrong optic, especially because most of them at gun shops don't even have batteries installed you can look at the reticle through!

Even a rental session with an optic may not be enough to truly know if you like something. After using a borrowed EoTech I thought I loved their reticle until I owned one and actually put it to use. I realized the 65 MOA ring was just too distracting, obscured my view of the target, and didn't actually help me acquire the dot faster. Of course if it's an astigmatism problem something like that will manifest itself rather quickly.
