Thanks for the suggestions and info so far. Incoming wall of text:
I should have laid this out in the OP,
my #1 goal for this LPVO (after durability/reliability) is speed at 1x WITHOUT illumination. Reason being, once there are no more batteries after such an event, I'd like to have an optic that is still faster than irons up close and from odd positions. In such a situation PID is important too, as is the additional LR capability and everything I laid out in the OP. But I have other optics that can do most of that stuff already, while nothing I own can do 1x battery-less CQB with speed (at least not super well).
As such the LPVO or similar optic I'm looking for needs a very forgiving eyebox with a wide 1x FOV, and of course fast recticle even when not illuminated (ex: an improved thick German #4). Unfortunately given what is in my local area I won't be able to try many of them before buying, and I realize some of this is personal preference. With that in mind, here are some of my thoughts on the available options and suggestions ITT, please correct if wrong or add your own experience:
Out of all the durable LPVO's out there, I've been told that the fastest on 1x are the Khales K16i (and by extension the K18i as supposedly they are the same at 1x), and the Vortex Razor Gen II-E 1-6x. I realize you can get fast with anything with training, but those are supposedly the three that can be run fastest or are the easiest to run fast up close and from odd positions due to the eye box, wide FOV, illumination, and so on. On the Gen II-E and while I like it, the recticle seem a bit thin. The Khales SM1 seems about perfect if only it had a larger bottom line, and was available on the K18i. The 3GR looks a little better than the Vortex offering, but still not ideal. All three are SFP which is fine but I can understand the value of FFP in a 1-8x.
The S&B Short Dot Dual CC seems excellent and a cut above the rest for overall use. But I've been told that at 1x, it isn't as fast as the others mentioned above, and that it really needs the illumination to function properly as designed.
The recticle looks extremely thin as seen here. Makes me very hesitant to drop $4200 on one.
The Vortex Gen III is similar in that at 1x without illumination the recticle looks really small. I've also heard there is some fish eye. If I get an LPVO for non-SHTF use this or the S&B would probably be it, but the criteria for "no battery 1x performance" makes this a bit of a hard choice.
I've also been recommended the Elcan, supposedly the mounts have been fixed and they are cheaper now. Anyone have any thoughts on this and how it might compare to a Razor Gen II-E at 1x?
The Accupoint is obviously of lower quality than the rest mentioned here, worse FOV, eye box, etc. But it would have illumination in the day as long as the fiberoptic was working, which might give it an edge?
As for some of the other suggestions:
Nightforce 1-8 ATACR: Recticle looks better than the Razor Gen III at 1x, but I've been told this is slower than the Razor by a good margin?
Leupold Mark 8 CQBSS & Leupold Mark 6 1-6: I don't know much about either beyond what I've read/seen online. The 1-8x looks heavy with a relatively small FOV but some decent reticle options. Supposedly not a true 1x on it. Would anyone pick either of these over the optics mentioned above, and if so why?
Minox 1-8: Looks very interesting, the MR10+ is pretty compelling. Hard to find info on though, any thoughts on it vs. the K18i or Razor Gen III?
@
koshkin you've probably looked through a lot of these, so I'm curious if after reading the bold statement above if your recommendation would stay the same.
But I've run splits with an Eotech and my ACOG, and the results are comparable. My splits are only about 0.1 s slower with the ACOG. ED: going from low ready to shots on target suffers by about 0.2s or so compared to the Eotech, but I still consider it a feasible option.
The TMR-D is daylight bright... the “D” stands for “daylight”.
