So the two red dots I’m considering are both solar red dots. The price difference is only $40 but I’m not sure which is better based on the moa they offer. The cheaper one offers 2 MOA/40MOA and the other one is 2MOA/70MOA. This is the only two differences in the two red dots the moa and the price. This will be put on a 11.5” 5.56 with a 3x magnifier. I plan to use this for many things such as competitions, range fun, predator hunting, and when I get a suppressor maybe home defense. I want to be able to make a one time purchase for this red dot and not have it be I choose the higher moa and need the lower moa or choose the lower moa and need the higher moa so please help.

I have an optic that doesn’t work with my two magnifiers because of the height difference so I am looking at a different magnifier that will work because it sits at the proper height but my problem is that I have 3 options 3x, 4x, or 5x for the same style and I’m trying to figure out which would be best on my 11.5” 5.56 that’s going to be used in competitions, range fun, possibly hunting and all of it I’m planning to use it over 100 yard for sure maybe even past 300 yards and I’m not sure which I should choose for the magnification. There’s a $30 difference between the 3 and 5 and I’m thinking it might be best to just get the 5x but would like some input on the magnification I should get. I already have the magnifier in mind so I don’t need suggestions on the magnifier or the optic brand just the magnification please help.

Wondering which brace is better? I am looking at two lowers that look like the honey badger lower that are the same price and one has an sb tactical brace and the other has a maxim brace and they look the same but I’m wondering which is better?

So I was originally considering getting a 7.5” until I heard and saw a guy shooting a 9” at an indoor range. Now I’m considering making a new ar pistol or modifying my current one to have a similar look to the honey badger but longer and 5.56 because it’s cheaper and easier to get. I am wondering on the sound difference unsuppressed because I don’t have a suppressor yet and the use will be mostly range or competition possibly home defense and maybe my traveling truck gun that I take with me on road trips and isn’t left in the car for long periods of time if you decide that you only want to tell me not to keep it in my truck and not answer the question.
