I've used 2-7 in the past. A 1-4X made a much bigger difference up close than I thought, and was less of a handicap at longer ranges than I thought. I have 3 AR's set up with different sighting systems including one with a dot sight. I find the 1-4X faster than the dot up close. If I were only going with one sighting system it would be a 1-4x with back up irons.
