I am looking for some feedback and help on an optics combo for the AR I plan to buy.
I had originally just planned on buying a red dot reflex sight as I hadn't planned on shooting the gun at more than 25-30 yards. But after reading more reviews on the M&P 15-22 by Smith & Wesson, which is what I will most likely start out with, it seems the gun is fun to shoot at longer distances as well. So maybe I want something with a little zoom as well.
So I have seen in movies, video games, and pictures on the internet, optic combos installed on the rails that will fold over so you can use one or the other. So you might have a reflex optic on the front and a 2x zoom optic on the back. And you just fold one over and bring the other up or vice versa. However I can't seem to find one in a store that does this so maybe it's just a fictional thing. But if it does exist, I don't know what to call it.
Second, if they do exist, how does the 2x scope maintain it's integrity once you sight it in when it's not fixed like a traditional scope?
If this combo/functionality does not exist, does anyone have any good suggestions for a reasonable reflex sight (around $50-60) with red dot?
Thanks for your help!
