Sure, but to the point of FFP mentioned in the OP… if your zero distance or caliber isn’t silly, anything inside of ~200yd should be point and click anyways… a good 5.56/6/6.5/.30 load out of a decent barrel length zeroed at 200 has a max rise of probably 2”, give or take.

In practical use, FFP only adds needless complexity/weight/cost in a 1-6 because something you’d be using 1-5x for with a typical caliber is probably close enough that holdovers aren’t critical... It’s not like a 3-18x or 5-25x where you might be looking at something 600-800yds away using a middling 12x and ballistic drop is a few feet so you need that calibrated reticle.

Yes, that's right, I use the center dot for anything within 200.

Dang YT shorts, I can't figure out how to get them to embed.

This is 250 or so, shots started on a full size IPSC and drop down to about 2 MOA.  6X was fine for this.  Red Dots and AKs were not good at this at all.  Shot last month at the GHTF shoot.  Not me shooting.

I'm still rocking a Burris 1-4x. I can't afford to keep up.

I don't shoot as much as I'd like but I'm at the point where I might sell my pa 1-6 a to fund a red dot of some sort. It's honestly too heavy on my rifle

I can’t think of a single thing about the VCOG that’s better.  It’s significantly heavier and larger, has a worse reticle selection and illumination.  What’s to like in that comparison?

Not better, I just prefer it. Depending on which mount you use for an NX8, the average difference in weight compared to a 1-6 VCOG is around 4-5oz. Not bad. I find it a bit easier to get behind than the NX8. I like the simplicity of the TA51 mount. The feel, toughness and aesthetics. It's got great glass, the illumination is more than adequate and the reticle is exactly what I want for my purpose built GPR.
