Ditched the AR10 (built it and will use it at the range and plinking) Put together a nice but not expensive AR15

I'm looking at optics and Vortex is on top of the list since I get a discount.

Here's what im thinking

https://vortexoptics.com/spitfire-hd-gen-ii-5x-prism-scope.html (5x power)

or

https://vortexoptics.com/spitfire-hd-gen-ii-3x-prism-scope.html (3x power)

or

https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-spitfire-ar-1x-prism-scope.html (I like Green better then Red but this one is only 1x power)

If I want to go completely off the rails there's this https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-amg-uh1-gen2-holographic-sight+reticle-EBR-CQB (its also 1x power and only red)

What say you? I have looked at Holosun as well
 
For a truck gun, just get a Primary Arms red dot. Proven quality and cheap. $150-250. Truck gun shouldn't be shooting any kind of long range. Can't imagine a $1k optic getting bounced around under a seat or just floating around the cab.
 
I have an EOTech with a green reticle. Supposedly, you can pick up green better in highlight/desert light than red. My experience so far says that's true.

I agree, I can see green better than red in all conditions
 
Tritium or other non battery glow in dark sight. It stinks to miss a shot at something because the damn battery is dead.

What are your intentions with this gun? Poppin' 'yotes on forest roads?

Main purpose is to have in the truck when I drive back n forth between Ca and Az and wherever. It will be in a bag behind my seat

Something I can grab in a hurry if needed

Ill also use it in the desert and plinking

There are some really nice Truck Gun bags out there, Optics are not as important is being able to hit a target "with efficient force" after getting thru the glass or metal....that's more important. Collapsible or Folding stock I'm guessing?

Where is the build thread 👀

Yes, ill add a pic
 
These type of scope are very durable and under-rated.

FBI did a study years ago on fiber-optic front sights....green is way ahead of red as far as low-light visibility goes.

I'm not sold on TruGlo. What you are looking for is durability....

I'm definitly not sold on EOTec....that is for sure. In fact, I'd go iron-sights before EOTech.
