Dang, with as many optics as you've 'killed', you must shoot every day! Jealous...

As others have said, it you have an itch for x nothing else is going to scratch that itch.
I went through this with a Sig210. Had to have it even though after finger fucking a CZ Shadow2 I realized it was more in line with what I wanted the pistol for. Bought the 210. Like it very much but I’m always on the lookout for a reasonably priced Shadow 2.
IMO the Only way to really make a decision on what is really “right” for your needs is to get behind all of them at the same range, same day and run them through the paces. Unfortunately, you have to have a fair amount of friends with premium kit or take a class, etc where you’d have access. Even if you could go this in route your idea of what’s right may evolve over time.

Funny thing is....didn't even know I had 'the itch'; took me a lot of effort to come full circle. Hopefully, it works out great; if not, no worries. I have gotten feedback from three different owners (not the seller although he confirms) that love theirs so will keep fingers crossed.
Again, I appreciate all the help you all have provided. I've learned a lot.
Or in my case I don't think anybody chimed in with having played with the Steiner M8xi so I figured I'll be the guinea pig and the glass has to be good so no loss (the illum is weak).
I shoot every day. My health is going to be deteriorating bad the next few years and I won't be able to shoot anymore, so I'm getting everything I can while I can.
A very good AR optic. Especially at $899.

I hope you have many more years of shooting than you expect.
Sounds awesome!
Thanks. That particular one was pointed out to me....and I'm 'eyeing' it hard. I watched the video from earlier in the thread and he mentioned the 1-6 as being great. I've a couple scopes on Ebay at the moment so should have the funds for this soon. Like I said, need one for the SR15 so I'll be killing two birds basically.A very good AR optic. Especially at $899.

Interesting thread. I've got what I considered for a long time the LPVO holy grail, the Mk8 CQBSS, and have it on my 18" proof bbl no expense spared do-it-all rifle. I've actually thought about going to a little higher magnification, even, but not sure what I could sell this for or what I would get to replace it with. So as I can't decide, it just sits in the safe looking all sexy and lightweight with the AR-15 sized stock, CF bbl, and lightweight handguard.

ATACR 1-8 has my vote
I bought a Steiner P4Xi as a cheap solution for the Tactical Games. Outside of the smoking, I shot pretty well with it. That being said, I am waiting on the Eotech 1-10 FFP to drop. I'm specifically interested in the speed ring which is a comfortable point of reference since I have an EXPS 3 on my APC. I like the idea of the "speed ring" as a fast, short range option with the option to reach out to longer distances. Was looking at their 1-6 FFP but, thankfully, saw they were about to drop the 1-10 before I pulled the trigger. Anyone use the 1-6 or the 1-8 Vudu?
Sorry to hear that man. I just turned 59 so sort of 'get it'. I hope you enjoy it as long as possible, sure sounds like you've done quite a lot of it. Wish you were a neighbor I could learn from and shoot with.
Trij Credo 1-8x FFP is very very good. The only drawback is the porky weight at 23oz...
