Trijicon MRO 100ft
Aimpoint T2 83ft
EOTech 33ft
Vortex 33ft
Hartman 20ft

I looked at the Hartman. A reflex design requiring a rechargeable battery and a CR123 backup battery? That thing is techno-heavy... "Infra-red" remote control for brightness setting and activation, user programable sleep control modes, adjustable setting for auto-off, dual 30 degree motion sensors auto-on, USB charge port, low battery flashing reticle.... geeeesh.

I think I'll stick with my Aimpoint Micro. Install a small 2032 battery and leave it on for a few years.
