I like mine, I don't have so much crap that they take up space that something else could use. I like that I can use my reddot up close and of the opportunity arises to take longer shots I can flip up my sights and turn off the optic and use them normally.
I can go with the "nose to charging handle" position on irons, but I'm farther back on the scoped rifle.
And honestly, that rear cap may be barely stuck on the scope in that picture- I just take the damn caps off at the range. I don't like the flip open covers. But I also don't like scratches on the lenses, so I leave them on when I'm not shooting.
1st off... If you have back up iron sights, and you want to use them if you optic gos down, it MIGHT be a good idea, if you can flip them up and see through your optic. The ones that sit under your optic, that you can't flip up make no sense to me. Also since they are just back-up sights, and you'll be using your optic 99% of the time, who cares what they look like, or what they are made of, as long as they hold zero. Just my 2 cents.
"Trump Hands" laufen can barely reach his trigger as far back as he sets scopes.
Naw, I have long arms. If I could get my stock to go back further I would. A 14.25-14.5" LOP is about perfect for me.
I get it. I'm total opposite. I like it tight. Having used an a2 stock while wearing full battle gear, I will never go back to full stocks.
also to go with what laufen was saying prism optics are really good for this. I picked up one of the vortex spitfires and really liked it. illuminated to help but if something does happen and it breaks you still have the reticle
I plan to be able to use them through the optic. We are on the same page there. Regarding looks, I am just a girl about it and dont want ugly shit on my rifle that im intentionally building to look a way that I like.
When I pick up your rifle from your half zombie eaten corpse, I'm taking them off.
The only eating of my body will be all the living women eating on my dong.
Approximately 8 calories per ejaculation. I had a girlfriend in college that looked it up, she was worried about how many calories she was ingesting, lol.
Bahahahahahaha whelp this now trumps your last statement and takes the number one spot for making me laugh the hardest today.
What girl worries about calories in college btw... Theyre all just naturally skinny and hott.
I think the PROs will be your best bet. I think they are the lowest profile.
This is going to be your go-to rifle right?
Yeah I have yet to play with any in person. Maybe ill stop by GFL and check them out one day this week.
And yes they will.
