Since the board has been really good in the past with recommendations, I would like to ask your help. I came across an 18" Gen 3 Noveske upper and I bought it because why wouldn't I. Currently, all of my ARs are actually SBR and the only magnified optic I used is the 3x EOTECH Magnifier for my holo and that works well for the ranges I have been shooting.
We have a nice range outside of Houston in Eagle Lake that goes out to 1K meters and I would actually like to see what I can do with the AR platform. The last time I bought an optic was circa 2010 or 2011 and I am guessing that things have changed pretty dramatically. I can go up to about $3k on the optic.
I would prefer the optic to be rugged and not overly large (I don't want something like 5x25). I would prefer FFP and MRAD because I have a basic understanding of how those systems work. While I suppose I can learn how to use them, some of the new reticles are very intimidating to me so I would ideally like one that is a little less cluttered/precise but one that would still allow me to do holdover shots out to 600 to 800 meters.
Thanks.
