Looking at Aimpoint T2/Sig 4T or 5T/8T, Eotech EXPS3 etc for a carbine and wanted to ask where might be the best place to encounter these optics and actually physically check them out? A plus would be some decent LPVO’s to check out too, but I know beggars can’t be choosers.
Any recommendations here guys? This will be going on and 11.5 suppressed and I’m having hard time deciding on forum posts alone. Having an even harder time finding such optics for sale anywhere in GA for that matter. Thanks for any help with this. |

Make it to a 2 Gun event at Emu's. Someone will have at least one of what you're looking for.

Ok, well that’s a start. I appreciate the reply Sir. I would not have known. The most difficult task in the world is to find any decent kit in the state of GA, save for the occasional exception here and there.

Where are you located? There are a number of good shops where you can check out gear all over the state. Whether they'll have all of them in one place kind of depends on the shop. At least at 2 Gun you can try for yourself with it already mounted to a rifle.

Just gonna add to the previous 2 gun place to see, feel, touch and shoot various examples of what you’ve asked about.
Currently have a Giessle scope-very clear, stout & heavy LPVO. Primary CWAR & 2gun rifle. I just added a Vortex Micro3x behind a Aimpoint H2 1moa dot. I really like that for its expected use…shooting dogs  . 😉 Only issue is ME learning to use the tall mounts & holds at ranges.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Razorhunter: South Metro Atlanta. Coweta county Try Autrey's over in Fayetteville. Mike is the new owner and is knowledgeable on optics. But if you're down for a drive then Georgia Firing Line in Marietta probably has one of the best selection of optics in the ATL area without having to go further north. Very knowledgeable staff as well. |

I would go with a LPVO red dots are for pistols. think of it as a restrictor plate for the rifle.
Seriously, your short barrel is still good to 500 yards if you can see the target. I have hit a IPSC target at 800yds with a 1-8. not as easy as a 14 power but doable. the Aimpoints are just as expensive as a LPVO and with a good 3x they cost more. Come out to Rifle Ranch on the 2nd Saturday of the month and I'll show you how to maximize the LPVO |

What's the intent? If you want NV capability, your only real options are the EXPS 3-0 or the Aimpoint T2/M5.
Anything else, I'd get a good LPVO with a red-dot bright reticle, like the Razor 1-6, NX8 1-8, ATACR 1-8, PLxC 1-8, etc.. Or a TA33. |

Speaking of, I just sold my NX8 I've had for 6 years and bought a TA33/red dot combo. Over time I found myself using the higher end of the NX8 less, usually leaving it on 3-4x for anything over 200yds and down to 1x for closer stuff. My primary use is 2 Gun and Cola Warrior courses, and I feel like this suits me better overall. It's also close to 1lb lighter than the NX8 and mount, which is a nice bonus. I also have one of the Geissele 1-6x scopes from the sale last year, and I guess if I feel like I need 6x somewhere I may grab that rifle, but I haven't had any issues making hits on torso sized targets to 500yds with 3-4x so I'm not sure what my use case would be at this point. It's a heavy pig like the earlier gen 1-6 Razors and you can really tell swapping between the new setup and that one. |

I know the XPS2 doesn’t have the “NV” setting, but I have 2 that work fine under NODs on the lower settings. |

Try it when there's low/very little ambient illum out. Even my T2 struggles. The E/XPS 3 series is the only sight I've seen that doesn't wash out the image due to reticle brightness in low ambient light environments. |
