I'm running an eotech hws. I want to get an eotech magnifier. I'm new to running magnifiers. Is it a good idea to go with the 5x eotech over the 3x? I would hate to be trying to identify a target and be in need of the extra 2x. Am I on the right track?
5x will be heavier and longer. It also might depend on what carbine/rifle it is on. If it is a 300 blackout you might not realistically need that much magnification. The 3x should also have a larger FOV down range.
@@albertoriviera8616 Either would be a good option. Figure out how far you are realistically going to shoot and how much your rifle already weighs. Most people do prefer 3x.
