My aging eyesight has me moving from a 1x Prism to a LPVO on a pair of AR's. It's really a better fit for these rifles which have very accurate barrels. The scope I'm looking at is the Primary Arms SLx 1-6x24mm, as I really like the ACSS reticle and the glass is very good. The choice comes down to FFP vs SFP. The price difference isn't a factor, just trying to decide which is the best fir for defensice purposes.
The ACSS reticle is below - it consists of a horseshoe with holdovers for accurate shooting at range as well as terget movement. For CQB you just keep the target in the horseshoe for minute of bad guy like you would with a lot of red dots and prisms. At range, then more careful use of the holdovers.
I think it boils down to which is best at CQB, since at range it will likely be zoomed all the way out where the reticle will be the same anyway. At lower powers is where the difference will show up. I'm leaning SFP to make the "horseshoe" easier to quickly get on target during CQB but would appreciate your thoughts.
