Looking for an optic for a DD M4 upper. Already have an AR pistol with a red dot and 16" rifle with a LPVO. Thinking of putting a 3x or 4x prism optic on this upper. Basically want something that's relatively light, rugged, great glass and sufficiently versatile that I can use for distances from 25/50 yards out to 3-400.
On the high end an ACOG is an obvious choice, but not crazy about the very tight eye box. On the lower end it looks like there are some nice Primary Arms optics that might fit the bill. But I'm curious about the Steiner T series, particularly since it looks like a couple of places are blowing them out.
The problem is that I can't find much info. on the scope. My guess is that at their original retail price they weren't much cheaper than an ACOG, which are known to be rock solid optics, and were a lot more expensive than decent alternatives like the Primary Arms models, so they kind of fell into this no man's land.
However, I know that Steiner generally makes pretty solid optics, it looks like they're using Schott glass on these, they appear to be pretty rugged, and the adjustable diopter is a nice feature for someone like me with less than perfect vision.
Also, any thoughts whether I should go 3x or 4x?
