Sounds reasonable enough. Airsoft ranges aren't that long, and I find that a magnified optic is useful more for identifying what I'm shooting at, than ten milliseconds of arc accuracy in where I'm shooting it.

eh, the rs world generally considers dots viable out to the kind of ranges airsoft can only dream of.

not so keen on magnifiers myself, and seniorspaz has saved me the trouble of writing out why.

i'd personally go for stacked, you can get the benefits of the dot and the benefits of magnified whilst having an easy, quick and intuitive no-handed switch between magnified or dot as the situation requires.

only downside of stacked is bore offset (which eh, not really that big a deal imo) and having to separately zero 2 optics (which also eh, not really a big deal).

I have a red dot on top of my LPVO and use the latter for finding things to shoot at and the red dot to miss those things I am shooting at (but that's just me).

As said, we are not shooting anywhere near far enough to need these things - they're just for show.
