I have a acog mounted on a carbine , 16 inch barrel, 15 inch handguards. Obviously the acog is my primary optic. However I want something else for a mixture of close range and back up usage.
I have standard buis now, but I can't use them with the acog on the gun. I'm just not sure if I want to add a RDS at 45 degrees. Toss buis on at 45 degrees. Or just leave the buis on the flattop and master the bad. This rifle serves multiple purpoaes. RDS AT 45? Good for close work, takes batteries though so potentially could leave me with no rds and no acog. Buis or irons at 45, don't take batteries, won't stop working. Not as great for close range. Buis on rail, need to remove acog to use, no quick transition for close range Help me decide. I can't afford a trijicon rmr. |

I piggybacked my ACOG with a primary arms mini reflex, and it worked great. (These can be had cheap, and is better than BUIS IMO) If you go this route the P.A. uses a Docter/Burris patterned mount that attaches to the ACOG. What i would suggest too especially if you can mount it on top. I run a 45 degree red dot on my hunting rig it's great for that but i would rather have it on top if it was a general purpose gun. I've been running mine this way for several years.

I just can't pick up the reticle fast enough for BAC. I find myself moving my head around trying to find the "right spot" Fair enough. A small reflex should do. If money is tight, the Burris Fastfire III will work. RMR or Leupold DeltaPoint better. Leupold will soon release the ruggedized duty grade DeltaPoint Pro. It is motion activated, so always on. No need to push a button or turn a rotary switch. I hope to evaluate one soon. Right now running a Fastfire III in a LaRue scope ring mount with a 3-9x tactical scope while waiting. |
