I have had an Aimpoint Micro on and set on the lowest brightness for over 5 years and it hasn't gone dead yet.Extremely long battery life (just change them annually to be safe), virtually indestructible, lightweight, super fast acquisition, etc.

The Micro is also smaller and slightly less than half the weight of the Pro.
I keep my PRO about halfway up all the time (daylight visible), never had an issue but the annual battery change is just to keep Murphy at bay, and batteries are cheap as long as you're not burning through them on the regular.I have had an Aimpoint Micro on and set on the lowest brightness for over 5 years and it hasn't gone dead yet.
Is the pro so highly recommended due to reliability and cost?
What do you guys think of Sig's line of red dots? The new romeo8t boasts 100k hours run time with multiple reticles to choose from

Yep, reliably and cost. They are good optics.Is the pro so highly recommended due to reliability and cost?

I believe it is fair to say that all of Aimpoint's optics are reliable, so that does not differentiate one model from another. But compared to other brands, Aimpoint wins for me.Yep, reliably and cost.
Variable optics wash out the front sight.Yeah, I would like my irons to cowitness if it's a dot, either in line or 1/3. I don't know if it works like that with lpvo, but I assume it would if it's lined up and at 1 power

Good question! I assumed it was dual purpose, but maybe not. If it will be indoor only, I wouldn't bother with a RD. Iron sights and a light are all you need.I’m not sure I’d even put an optic on, honestly. A different way to skin the cat is a good iron battle sight and a light/laser combo.
Yes, for inside the house. I think the longest indoor stretch is about 30 - 35 yards. It's pretty close range for a rifle to be sure. I have a good pistol set up for him defense with night sights, and a viridian x5 chambered in .40. It can hold 13+1, which isn't bad. I'd like to have a rifle as well though, mostly because of ammo capacity. You're probably right about the irons and a good light/laser. I did intend on getting at least a nice small form factor light with a pressure switch. I thought it might be a good idea to go with something proven for making it quick/easy to line up on a target, which is why I was thinking an RDS. I don't know that I'd be good with LPVO after quite a bit of looking, because I don't want to have to fiddle with anything before it's actually an effective product.I may have missed it somewhere. You mentioned this is for home defense application.
Inside the house? Approach to house and inside?
What’s the max distance you would shoot this at?

I would still like to enjoy it out at the range of course. In reality though I suppose I could just take off whatever optic when it's at home on "standby"Good question!
