Depends on need. For Patrol rifle in my area (urban) hard to beat a red dot. We use Aimpont Patrol Rifle Optic. Pretty basic and once co-witnessed its a breeze.
For my personal AR's I love the ACOG format mounted in a LaRue on my Noveske (5.56) but use a Zeiss with a 50mm bell in a LaRue mount on my 6.8 AR's. Easy to move em around if I need too.
I had and sold a Swaro 1x6 just because it didn't fit my needs as well as an ACOG and a larger traditional scope. Great glass though.
I like a 1.5 x 5 Leopold. Lifetime warranty and I bought it used for $200 LNIB.
What do you guys think of this one?

Favorite is the Elcan Spectre DR.
Think of optics & guns like pairing speakers to a home theater. You can buy a $10,000 audio system but if you pair it up with a $200 set of speakers...... Well you get my drift. You get what you pay for.
I do like Leupold, Zeiss, Trijicon. Leupold has been very Very VERY nice to me when it comes to warranty issues even when I'm at fault.
I guess my most memorable was shooting an M16 at Knob Creek with a PVS-4 Gen II starlight, it's a big scope
but did not handle that way, the AR pistol grip gave plenty of leverage to keep the scope level!
Around 1995, there was a flood or Russian stuff here and got to use the Russian copy of the
PVS 4, heavier, bigger, weird battery and a chevron reticle!
After, that using an Elcan scope with the tritium reticle was nice too.

I have a Leupold firedot VXR patrol 1-4x scope on my .308 AR.
There is no way at all would I put it as my primary optic on a home defense gun. There is absolutely no need whatsoever for magnification in a home defense gun. When on patrol, I had no use for one either. Red dot aimpoint all the way.
When you can shoot someone in the head easily, at 250 yards with a 1x aimpoint, the whole idea of magnification just doesn't make sense to me.
Yet you have one ...
AT 1.25 - it's not bad with both eyes open. I'll grant that at 4x I can't do that ...

Street application of scope in my job (small city in 4.5 sq miles) and it isn’t very useful. Different if it were user owned and not armory issue.
Kahles K16i, but now that I've moved, Comp M5. I just don't have the distance to make use of magnification enough to make up for the weight and acceptance of tube effect.
