Ok, red dots for HD rifles. I want to have my HD rifle ready as can be but I find myself in a conondrum. It currently wears a SPARC AR (fuck china, I'd never buy another) and it's not a bad optic. My best red dot is an aimpoint T2 but that lives on the no frills uber reliable battle rifle. I have some sig romeo 5 dots with shake awake on random other rifles. If I need to shoot a squirrel invading my domicile in the night, will I have the time or the mental acuity to remember to turn on the dot? So the question is, move the aimpoint, keep it always on? Put a romeo on the HD rifle and hope shake awake works? Stick with the SPARC and put squirrel in the glass and send it with no dot?
Romeo is still commie made i believe but what else you gonna do if you don't have $400?
I like the romeo 5 a bunch. Works well. Reasonable price.
I've had an R5 on my 9mm AR pistol for like 18 months at this point? Every single time I pick up or move the gun (which is about once a week because of reasons), the dot is already on by the time I get my eye lined up to it to check. I've got no qualms at all about relying on it.
Put the T2 on the one rifle you are most likely to have to bet your life on some night.
Better yet, set that one up to be a bit more versatile and do all your training with it too. Or sell some stuff and put another T2 on whatever other rifle you feel scratches the general purpose itch.
Nothing wrong with having as many fun guns as you want, but for serious use you are better off training with just one, or two identical ones, or two that are as identical as possible. You want those to be as reliable as possible.
