[QUOTE="jpd676, post: 1218977, member: 27751"] It all depends on what you are looking to do. A red dot typically is used for fast target acquisition at relatively short range, think clearing a house. Out to about 100 yards a red dot make an average shooter a great shooter. Magnified optics are used at longer ranges. Combining the two can give you med range with the magnifier and the ability to remove the magnifier and use the 1x red dot up close. I have never used the magnifier on my AR's, I have red dots on some and magnified optics on others. Shooting a red dot isn't like shooting a scope as the red dot can be large (4-6 or larger MOA dot). It is typically Minute Of Bad guy not Minute Of Angle. Another options is a 1-4 or 1-6 scope with illumination. SWFA, Vortex and Nightforce make some like this and might be worth considering.
