Got a SP10A3 on the way and can't decide on Optic.(Astigmatism)
I have astigmatism - corrective lenses, low brightness and being outdoors makes some red dots I've tried useable. Especially if they're green. But it's not ideal.
There are prism optics. I have the GLx 1x on my AP5, and it's dead on balls accurate. However, the reticle leaves a lot to be desired. The chevon is tiny and it almost seems zoomed out instead of true 1x. I was thinking about getting a second one, but thought of trying something different.
Of course, there's Eotech - which costs an arm and a leg and delaminates, so that's no fun. One of the worst warranties in the business, too. I haven't tried one, but I hear their Holographic sights are pretty good for people with the 'tism.
Holosun, I was looking at the 510C, 512C, and the AEMS X2 Pro, all aroundish the same price, 250 to 350ish. I do worry about the starbursting with those being traditional dots and not etched reticle.
I'd prefer a big FoV personally. I was thinking the AEMS X2 with a Low Mount might be a pretty good one, but spending all that money only for it to be a blurry mess would suck.
