Pretty excited to try this new red dot + magnifier combo! I should be able to use the 4 dot reticle option for basic holdovers.

Enjoy your red dot while your eyes still let you, I can’t see squat in lower light conditions with red dot these days. LOL!



what are your use cases? Do you really need 1x often? That combo is obviously focused on 1x with occasional 4x. With magnifier you are back to LPVO and prism sight weight range l, depending on what you want to do might as go with the more versatile LPVO scope with bigger mag range and MOA/MRad reticle for airguns. If you don’t need 1x and shoot 4x all the time then a light weight 3-5x prism scope might be a better fit with similar if not lighter weight and more useful reticle. If shooting 1x all the time and do occasional longer range then LPVO with up to 10x will get you way out there since the L2 is really that versatile. red dot is only really good for being “parallax free”.


If you got the coins the March 1-10 dual reticle and the L2 is the ultimate dream team!!! Your little Sig combo is almost half way to the March!!! Then add a canted reflex sight zeroed at 10 yards then you are covered for just about any distance. 


 
Interesting, I've been thinking of getting the "8T" for a while now. The "T" version is a little lighter and has a couple more options. Don't really need to spend the extra money on the "T", so maybe not.

Wish the reticle color was green though. -

Just as an alternative, I did buy two of the Steiner DRS 1x

Will add later..

P.s. - Michael, yours is the "H" version correct ? It's got the solid protective cover, vs. the "T" with the lighter cutout cover.

Correct, I have the H version. The T has the extra Titanium cover.

Primarily 1x for CQB fun. The magnifier is to reach further or hit smaller targets. 

I've got a few LPVO's. They are definitely better at distance, but the eye box is not as forgiving for CQB. Most LPVO don't offer adjustable parallax either. The March Shorty would be awesome, but price is a factor. $2600 compared to about $900.
