Some specifics
Got to thinking about it a little more and realized I have used a good number of optics even if I've not owned them. Some that I have used were the Millet DMS (decent optic, illumination didn't seem 'red dot bright' in full sun) Leupold CQ/T 1-3x ( very rugged but optics were wavy on the outer 1/4 of the field of view), Trijicon Reflex (neat idea but I like to be able to control my level of brightness) ACOG (very nice but takes some training to use up close) AimPoints and EOTechs have already been discussed, I've also used several of the Primary Arms red dots, both full sized and micros (good value for the money, some starburst or ghosting og the dot; holds zero well for me) Vortex Strikefire (seems good so far, hope to zero and test it out Friday on the new Troy AR)
I really need to buck up and put some more money into optics for my 'serious' rifles, but it seems like there is always something else coming up!

- Gotta agree with Boge, the ACOG is an amazing optic. - Warhawk, 2012-11-27, 22:53
- I like the ACOG also - but I admit they are expensive. -
