Tactical Scopes. Lets see them.
I took out a hog on the run at about 75 yards at night with one shot with my eotech, thats the longest real world/action shooting Ive made with mine. I would have prob not even been able to find the thing through a scope. Long shots are great as long as your vision is good. They make a 3x magnifier for the eotechs that sound like a good idea. I work with three or four guys that were in Iraq or Afghanistan and both swear by the ACOGS simply for the magnification and the ability to calculate hold over. With an eotech its just a guess beyond 300 yards.
Statistics show any shot you take for self defense will prob be up close and personal. I would rather take a long gun to any gunfight but if you are planning on using it in your house forget the AR and get a 12gauge pump with a 18 to 20 inch barrel. The only reason I carry an AR in my car on patrol is cause that's all they will allow us to carry. If it was my decision I would carry something of the .30 cal persuasion. Maybe a semi-auto .308 or the .450 Bushmaster. I'm not one to "spray and pray" so I like the rounds I do send down range to be show stoppers. This all is just MHO ultimately its your call....
