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?

I put an inexpensive firefield 1-4x luminated + etched reticle lvpo on my last build for my wife to test out the cool kid waters without diving into the pricey end of the pool. I'm sold. Easy breezy and intuitive. You can shoot on the 1 and then crank it up to 4 to check your work.
