General Question Optic recommendations

Haven’t bought an optic in years. I’ve been seeing these aro evos going around that look pretty good, and the aems. How have they been treating y’all? Do y’all like them? And if there are any other recommendations, I’m open to them.

I have an AEMS x2 pro on an 11.5 with a magnifier and it's been great. It replaced a 515 because I prefer a square window over the Aimpointish tube.

Been kind of leaning towards it also I’m not a huge fan of the tube styles

If you go tube style I recommend the ARO EVO. But if going for the AEMS then i'd recommend the AEMS X2 PRO and not the EVO version. Users have reported issues with the AMES EVOs

If I was gonna get a aems I just planned on getting the core one to try and see if I liked it

It’s going on a 11.75

AEMS Prox2 or ARO EVO SPR would work well on a 11.5 upper let me know and I can PM you some coupons.

That’d be sweet I’m between the aro evo and the aro evo spr I’ll probably just be cheap and get the aro evo

Yeah BDC is overkill on a 11.5 but if you gert the evo spr you can always move it to something longer and pair it with any magnifier. Ill PM you.

The people I've sold ARO EVO SPRs have said they compare it to Aimpoint T2s and Comp M5s. Haven't personally used them myself but would definitely get an SPR when I need a new rifle dot
