| Who cares since you will never use them anyway? I mean, you do realise you wont use them after sighting them in dont you? The small defelction of the Troy on a rail is next to meaningless as you wont be doing any precision work after you take a bullet to your scope. You will be hauling ass and taking shots inside 100m at that point. Its an emergegncy BUIS not a primary sighting system. |
Well with the lack or SHTF scenarios in Nebraska I don’t think I will be doing any running and gunning any time soon, so we can lay off that idea. Maybe the point was missed here. I will be using them for IRON sight shooting for fun (Precision shooting), not for when my IOR takes a direct hit from a TANGO! Matt |
| I would not find iron sight shooting fun with a long range precision rifle. If your concerned that much I suggest a new barrel mounted unit that replaces the gas block. I never use my BUIS if I have optics for that firearm. I think of them more like a spare tire. I dont care which spare tire has better road holding abilities... I use the P Zeros to drive on. |

I like the spare tire annalogy. About spot on. I also like shooting with irons, very much fun and skill enhancing. I have two ironsighted 22's I keep for that purpose. As for 'matt's' inqury, I would reccomend the sight that gives you the best picture. Some use AR-15 post and parts. Some also have AR-15 style 'ears'. These I personally prefer. I have a GGG front and it is quality and gives me the picture I prefer. It will likely work well with narrower post replacements precision shooters use for competitions. eta; GGG offer a pinned unit [best] or a tube mount. The moment on the tube is a variable many here do not describe as a problem. In my experiance, a bipod has been the biggest hazzard mounted to my AR's. That is another story but suffice to say a shooting bag is now my bipod of choice. |
