Put me in for one to!

I'd love to have one of these over a red dot, but a G is pretty high dollar.
2 things wrong with it.
1) It's an ACOG...dated design. Rugged yes, but better options that are more flexible for the same $$$$
2) Why do people like getting BDC reticles? I mean they are typically caliber, ammo type and barrel length limited. Very constricting and makes the BDC useless for most anything else.

You'd rather have a 1-4x?
I want to buy me one! But alas I don't have the cheddar for that either
Yes, and use one. Also, 1-6 and 1-8 are becoming more common, and some are coming down in price.
That's cool, but doesn't even seem in the same category to me. Someone looking for a red dot, which this is basically a replacement of, isn't looking for a long-tubed variable magnification scope. I'm not against that necessarily, but this to me would be something that would replace something like an Aimpoint. I like the concept, and the reticle looks nice for longer-range shooting if you needed it.
To each their own, I have truly tried to like ACOGs, but every time I try one, I just get disappointed at the poor eye relief and fixed power. Then you see the cost and I just realize, its not for me.
The LPVO option is a great option for those who like red dots, but wish for more magnification without being stuck with fixed power optics or bulky magnifiers.
For me, I get optically confused (if that makes sense) for anything 50 yards and in with an ACOG. The fixed power, even with their low 1.5x, disorientates me quickly.
Love my PA 1-6 ACSS
