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?

Chinesium aside. They get rave reviews. Some detractors out there too. But bang for buck... They are amazingly hard to beat.

If you shop sales, you can get an EOTech for just under 500, an ACOG will cost 1K+.

A next tier alternative would be the Leupold Freedom 1x34. but for something you are going to shoot 25 meters at an indoor range, why spend 250-300...

Do you need the 1MOA (Leupold) vs 2MOA (Holosun)?

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.
