Eotech 557.223 w/ 3x Magnifier

[HanSolo]

I am looking to set up my Bushmaster to be both a good CQB gun as well as have the ability to accurately reach out and slap something at a good distance. I have been rolling around the Eotech vs ACOG and would love any experiences and advice.

I like the specs and durability of the ACOG, but it cost as much as I have in the rifle and the tac toys on it and does not really meet my CQB requirement (at least in my opinion, but could be convinced otherwise).

I have been seeing the 557 w/ 223 BD and 3x FTS magnifier set going for less than 900 online. I own a 552 and love it. Which, since deciding on buying different optics for my Bush, I went out and bought a Rock River to put it on. I do not have any experience with the Eotech FTS, but it looks smooth and durable, and i am really curious as to what others think.

Any advice and thoughts are always appreciated. I would have already bought it, but do not want to sink 900 in it and then regret it and wish I had gone with a different setup.

Thanks

Also, I was curious if anyone had any experience with the Leupold CQT and their thought.

I have one on my Sig 556.

It is very accurate and consistent (compared to the cheapy I had on it)

The 1-3x is fine out to 100+ yds. and I like the mil-dot better than crosshairs for fast acquisition.

My only dislike is the price, but from previous experience, I've learned that you get what paid for and with Leupold Mk4's you do have to pay.
