Which rifle optic is best for YOU? In this Survival Dispatch episode, Mike Sterling - SD’s resident bomb tech - joins me to break down the pros and cons of Red Dot & Magnifier setups, Prism optics (like the ACOG), and LPVOs (Low Power Variable Optics).
Thanks to our sponsor Primary Arms (https://alnk.to/9bvDyrH), we demo each optic and talk about how your mission profile, training, and personal needs (like vision issues or astigmatism) should influence your choice.
There’s no one-size-fits-all optic. The military uses all three for a reason. You need to know your setup, your purpose, and your budget. We also dive into why training, a quality sling, light, and enough ammo matter more than having a high-end rifle with no trigger time.
Red dot vs prism vs LPVO - what’s best for home defense, SHTF, patrol, or hunting? Watch now to find out which is right for YOUR mission.
