join date of course....
It's to rotate off your optic if it fails. I have some folding offset 45's on one of my SBR's but it's more for funsies then anything. Most real folks operating operations don't even fun backup irons now. |

If you want to switch from looking down a scope to something close I can see the appeal.

You ever look through a rifle scope at something less than 20 feet away that needed shooting ?
Just because you fail to see a point, does not mean that there is not a point. |

Quick alternative to a magnified optic.
Quicker to just rotate the rifle 45 than to reduce zoom, or even for an optic with 3 or 4 minimum zoom. |

Personally I feel the laser fill this need.

I have them on 2 AR's. It's a backup if my red dot fails.

Quickly go from Magnification to irons without removal of the optic.
Same with offset or rider RDS. |

They are for rifles with optics.
If you have a scope on your rifle you can’t flip up the rear sight without removing it. With offset sights you can quickly engage targets at close range. I have the Magpuls on my Recce, they work great. |

I originally thought they were gimmicky gun game toys, but I really dig them now. I have a pair of magpul pros and a set of UTGs on my scoped guns.
I can spank the 200yd plate, then rotate the gun and instantly chop up the 10yd target. Makes much more sense than standard irons on a gun wearing magnified optics. |

Wait till you see the instagram pics of guns with non-magnified dots and 45 degree irons.

Go for the 90 degree angle! Only way to get street cred.

It started with 3 gun style competitions. The shooters were using magnified optics for the long range shots, and would rotate to the irons for close targets.

If your running a LVPO and it fails or if a target pops up real close and you need to accurately shoot just rotate the rifle a little and quick sight picture

On my 3gun rifle, I mounted a very small red dot at 45 degrees. Great for up close!

I have a 4x ACOG.
Added a 45 degree red dot. Really helps for close targets. If I was clearing room(s) that offset dot is much faster. |
