[QUOTE="jakerz, post: 2397504, member: 18966"] Personally, I'm not a fan of the fixed power scopes. I really like the versatility of the 1-4 (or 1 to whatever) power scopes. The coolest one I have owned was the Elcan 1-4x but it was on the heavy side and was pricey. I can buy almost 4 PST 1-4x for the price of the elcan or ACOG/RMR setup. With that being said, I am faster with my aimpoint rds then the 1-4x up close. But we are talking fractions of a second. Now, on the further end around 200 yards, I am 2+ full seconds faster with the 1-4x set on 4x then the aimpoint rds. Compared to my buddies ACOG, I'm dead even on times at the longer ranges, but I'm faster with the 1-4x at closer ranges then the ACOG. I think the 1 to whatever power scopes that are produced these days are the most versatile optics on the market. edit: I forgot to add, I have also used the aimpoint with a 3x magnifier. This setup worked pretty well and I still have it just in case I decide to go back. I ran an aimpoint twist mount with a 3x in a pouch. Most of the stuff I'm shooting is 100 yards in where the aimpoint shines. And if I want to shoot further, I just twist on the magnifier. I like the reticles in the 1-4x though so I can have hold references over just a floating dot. [/QUOTE]
