Need some options for a buddy

Police officer used on duty. Wants a new optic that can cowitness. Doesn't want an eotech. What would be your go to?

Mro or t1

Acog

I didn't care for my acog. Is it normal to have almost no eye relief?

AimPoint PRO (Patrol Rifle Optic) can be had for $400 and has a 3 year battery life

As stated, aimpoint. If being cheap, which I wouldn't if I was an officer, the Bushnell TRS or Sparc...

aimpoint or trijicon

I am a big fan of Aimpoint for CQB. IMO Acog is heavy & over rated unless you intend on shooting longer distances.. If you plan on carrying a weapon for long periods of time, lighter is better & you can't beat backup iron sights only with a blue force gear sling.

This^^^

So basically what I've told him already. He did mention the trijicon srs. Any info on it?

The trijicon srs is twice as much and can have halo issues in bright light without a killflash installed. I would go with aimpoint. If he wants to spend the $800, get the better aimpoint.

pro works but is bulky. I would spend the extra minimal coin and get one of the smaller ones

MTAC.

aimpoint pro is what I run like the 80000 run time on battery and real close to the aimpoint I used in the army

Have you looked in the vortex? Little larger than the aimpoint, more affordable

Not worried about budget he's got $1k in his budget which should cover just about anything.
