6.5 G best optic for close range and also giving some long range capability?
Looking for the best optics for my intended use of the 6.5 g in the AR
I have just purchased an alexander arms 6.5 upper. I will test fire it soon since I picked up a lower from from trade winds last wk. I am looking for optics for it. Gun is not for hunting which I normally do not do anymore. I want it for SHTF scenarios. I chose the 6.5 AR since due to my aging and back problems I wanted less ammo load out and recoil than using a .308. I want more range and accuracy than I get from my AKs. Ability to acquire a target at close ranges comes first, but I still want to be able to hit if needed at much longer ranges and do it with something more powerful than the 77 grain 5.56 loads.
The best optics I can find so far that meets my uses is a eotec with magnifiers. Still a little weak for longer ranges, but optimal for close up.
Many keep telling me one should not use a 6.5 at close range since it was meant for long range and the best optic would be a 1-6x vortex. Price within reason is not a barrier.
Any here have suggestions for optics that meet my conditions besides the eotec?
