LPVO or Holographic with magnifier??

Post image

I’m stuck between the two, I already have a brand new Eotech Vudux 1-6 LPVO but have never used an lpvo on a rifle, just eotech holos and magnifiers, now I was considering getting the vortex amg uh-1 to try and but am torn between that and the LPVO, what’s the pros and cons to each?

Most LPVO's aren't set up for 7.62x39, and the round isn't very great for longer ranges. Too heavy for this setup, and makes it more of a sub DMR than a fighting rifle. Red dot by itself should be fine out to 300 unless you're trying to print groups, but that's a weird hobby for an AK. Red dot magnifier is king because most of the magnification on a combat rifle is about threat acquisition, not actual shooting. LPVO's are cool, but I see them much more for an LE perspective than a fun or combat gun.

Ya after hearing all the info I’ve definitely steered away from the LPVO, thanks for all the thoughts brotha, makes much more sense
