Absolutely. I won't buy a high dollar optic until I've tried it and at least taken it for a spin in the bright light. As I get more into it I am sure I will pester everyone with more questions

For my initial 'vision' of an up close gun (100yards and in), on one hand I like 5.56 because I don't need any special ammo... on the other I like the super quiet of the 300 BO. It looks like I have to build both.

As for the actual optic, the thought is to have a both eyes open style with a lot of eye relief. I want to minimize losing the dot. Where that path takes me, I don't know.

Actually, with both eyes open putting the RDS closer to your face helps.
Also reduces the "blind spot" of the optic.

See. I am already learning something new! LOL

I haven't used those kind of optics much at all so any feedback from experience is good feedback.

Before I jump all in and go through all the BS of getting an SBR my personal preference is to have an idea of how all the parts (including the optics) will function together. I have no idea if I would go reflex, red dot, whatever... the SRS looks good... but I don't know if other options are better... no need to hurry... just biding my time and trying to make wise choices.

I use 4, 2 and 1.75 MOA RDS. I actually do the best with the 1.75 due to it having a 38mm objective lens. The size of the dot from my experience isn't that big of a factor, the FOV is however for me.

Agreed, besides the dot size seems to be a moot point when they are adjustable anyway.....the level of brightness seems to have an effect on the perceived size of the dot ....to me anyway.

I don't see it being beneficial to have a red dot close to your face. I guess things work different for other people, but I like moving it farther down the receiver so I don't lose any of my peripheral vision. However, with fixed power on my Browe/ACOGs with both eyes open I have to be close, but I don't with 1x RDSs.

I'm with Uwone on this one. After running around shooting my AR for a bit the next one I do will be for 'up close' work... which based on my relatively new guy observations here is what I observe about the whole optic thing. A lot of people talk about these little 1 MOA dots like they are a good thing... which they can be depending on your goal, but if you are going to be running and gunning or even want to be able to get on target a lot faster then a bigger dot is much better. It won't offer pinpoint precision but that is not the purpose of such an optic. As I ponder building an SBR (more specifically how it all goes together) I am thinking 4 MOA would actually be the minimum for a 'fast acquisition' gun.

Or maybe, dare I say... An Eotech?

No.. Lol... I happily sold my last eotech recently. Got really tired of the big fuzzy circle..

Which have 1 MOA dots that people have been "running and gunning" with for years.....

Like all things it's most likely a preference thing. I find that being closer to one eye, I pick up the dot much faster and being out of the field of view of the "support" eye I actually find that my peripheral vision is better.
I've put it just about everywhere on the receiver and for me, closer is better.
