That is tactical as HELL!

I wonder what he uses on the can to keep it from unscrewing (i.e., return to zero for the scope)

I started with a cmore and moved to a pa micro dot. Weight savings was nice but the most important reason?? I like the look better of the micro dot. Real important right
Different strokes for different folks.

I guess I've used used a few different types of optics.

As noted, the really cheap optics won't hold zero, and have parallax issues. I had one cheap micro-dot that would move several feet off the target depending on where the eye was in relation to the optic.

To check for parallax, put the optic on a table and align it on a target. Now look through it without touching it. As you move your head around, the dot will appear to move within the lens, but it should not move off the target downrange. With a good optic, the dot will stay on target, no matter where in the reticle it appears. With a bad optic, the dot will wander all over around the target as you move your head.

You need a 3-9x scope

In my experience, "Opens" are quicker, but are prone to "washout" in certain lighting conditions.
"Tubes" offer better glass protection.
