Hello, new here! Name is Darren and I am down in the Corpus Christi area. I know this question has been asked a million times but I am looking for some clarification also. Right now I have my AR setup for decent long range shots with a 4-12x Nikon and a Burris PEPR Quick Detach mount. I'm thinking about changing things up and setting up my AR for closer range shots/easier target acquisition by putting a red dot or reflex sight on it. I just recently purchased some land with a decent amount of hog activity so I'd like the AR to have with me and then have the deer rifle for long shots. I will probably end up selling my PEPR QD mount since I wont need that anymore when I put that scope on a .17.
Right now I am looking at the Burris Fastfire III, Bushnell TRS-25, Sightmark Pro-Spec Digital Switch.
I know the prices are kind of all over the place but I want something that won't crap out on me with minimal use. I take care of my purchases so I hate when something craps out on my quickly. I have read extremely good reviews about the TRS-25 but I wanted to get some feedback about the differences between that type of red dot vs a reflex. Are there any big advantages or disadvantages?
I like the way the reflex sights look and sit on the gun better but I'm going for usability not looks, so if one performs better then that is what I want. The burris is a little on the high side of what I am looking to spend now but if it is a far superior product then I might go that route. Especially if I sell my QD mount.
Can't wait to see what advice y'all have, I'm fairly new to the AR scene
