I don't own an AR but I shoot every week with a guy that does. I've shot his AR with an Eotech G33 magnifier. My impression is it works but that's a lot of money and gear hanging on an AR. He has more money in his sight than his rifle. For the 1K he put into his sight he could have purchased a top of the line 1-4 power scope. He's now looking at a 2K rifle and he won't be putting a holographic site on it. After seeing the difference in a 1 moa group using my rifle with a telescopic sight he's convinced holographic with a magnifier isn't what he wants for the range.

I understand that holographic is great for target acquisition and works for combat situations but it isn't a precision sight. You want a telescopic sight for that. Snipers don't use holographic sights.

I'm not dissing your choice, just laying out what I've seen when a new shooter gets his information from a sales guy.
