Get a decent red dot then, and later on if you want add a flip magnifier. Helps make you feel like you're not spending as much while still having a reliable opic

1) irons require 3, but optics require 2, unless you don't have a specific target you're shooting at. And focal planes are not the only or even primary determining factor for speed 2) true of red dots, not optics in general. Even 1x prisms cause some inattentive people to get lost in the tube. Anything over 1x is absolutely more likely to compromise awareness of surroundings than irons. 3)size of the aiming point is not the only factor in precision. If you're using the whole front sight post to hit a man sized target at 500m, someone did you dirty in training. 4)fair-ish. Irons are still very usable in low light, but no light, absolutely correct. 5)in theory many optics work with NV. In practice, you have to have trained and specifically set up the whole rifle and NVG to work like that, and even then most will still prefer to run a peq. And all of that only applies to irons vs red dots. Throw in LPVOs and other magnified glass and it's a whole different speed vs precision ballgame. I'm not saying irons are better. I'm saying they have a place, especially in training.

@Crye Salesman in my door kicker gun I’m less particular. Shooting a 1.5 lb rat at 300+ yards in the wind I’m a little more discerning.

Yeah, I'll run anything through my doorkicker. I'm going to be close enough to where it doesn't matter.

My concern with my entry gun is intermediate barrier defeat

Yeah, the dot on my holo is 2moa so 2-5 moa is ok for me with my 12.5”

Yep, 2moa dot inside of 100 meters is plenty good for me.

Oh, yeah @Sparrow I will concede your point about the total sight post MOA not mattering. But RDS only use 1 focal plane if you’re doing it right

Yeah, I used to lolipop my red dots. Now I don't give a shit. I only use the dot, good enough.

Now let's talk budget optics... Because I'm very curious on this. I have a mix of decent and shit optics. But are there any exceptions to the rule, that a say, $80 RDS can actually be good? Obviously, it might not be as durable as an Aimpoint or similar companies. But say the Bushnell TRS-25, for the guys who can't afford 300-600, does it work?

If any of you have personal experience with that sort of thing, of course.

I think it’s fairly well established what optics are reliable
