I'm mulling over putting an optic on one of my ARs for target shooting. I rarely use it for over 25 meters since it's my "quick trip to the indoor range within walking distance" rifle.

It has irons on it currently, which is fine for hitting the target at such close range. The trouble is I cant readily SEE holes in paper past 20 meters, so putting a red dot on it would still leave me with Schrodinger's Target.

Any suggestions on a magnified optic that's appropriate for such short range? Maybe a LVPO that I've heard of but know eff all about?

At this distance, 1 vs 2 MOA in an optic is immaterial. This is a fun gun for plinking where if I can tell if I hit the target I'm happy. With irons I wouldnt know if I'm off by feet without pulling the target in closer than 20 meters.
