I have an RDS on my main MP5 (and am buying the same cheap, Tasco Red Dot for my other MP5............. redundacy is key to success!) and a 3-9x40 scope on both my sniper rifles. High scope mounts are important to those that wear goggles, primarily paintball goggles.
As for my usual settings, I keep them set low, generally 3-4x most of the time, because that way I can have a wider field of view, and can easily catch the flight of the BB and watch it. I'll only go higher than 5x to do some longer range spotting/recon, and for target ID if the person if dug in pretty good. Overall I'm pretty good and fast with my scope, and shoot with both eyes open always, even at 9x. Have to actaully concentrate more to keep my left eye closed when looking through the scope.
