    I started watching this channel for the gun content. Now, I'm watching it for the increasingly disturbing insight into the mind of a man slowly being undone by his decision to not join the Navy. I think he's pining for all that sweet, sweet hot bunking action.

I've got 20/20 vision and not a chance will I be able to range with that chevron. For a 1x the Spitfire reticle is much better. And the PA weighs almost as much IIRC.

    Especially when you have astigmatism, holo and prism sights are your best bet. Even with perfect eye sight you can still have astigmatism. With astigmatism a red dot from a red dot optic like aimpoint can look like a starburst, grapes or a faded line.
    So far I have been really happy with prism sights and holo sights
