So you should really look through lots of glass, from several vendors, before making up your mind. Me personally, I'd use a 16x to get out there to 600. But I would also use a longer pipe... so, watching this to see how you do. Go for it!
Alas! It is harder to try out glass than guns. And even if glass rental were a thing there is a dearth of larger shops / ranges in my area. I want to try an ACOG as well for other guns, with the same problems.
I'm figuring that in the worst case I have a nice M4-ranged gun, in a smaller package that hits harder (and have reason to go for the next upper). Best case I discover a corner of design space that others might find useful and may not have otherwise looked at. There is no lose condition here.
