I have recently been backing away from the red dot sights, and using my iron sights instead. Both flip ups and the carry handle sights. There was a time not long ago that I thought I had to have an optic of some type on every one of my ARs. I've settled on one, and don't keep it mounted on any one gun. KISS & KILL (Keep It Light L????) is evolving into my philosophy.
Never had the batteries go dead on my iron sights. [Awesom]
i have optics as BUIS for my irons. I did install a Burris AR-332 on the 556 patrol for something different. most of my shootin irons are SBR'd so a decent shooting (YES that digest wolf:O ) 16" .225 is nice to see w/out eyeglasses past 1-200yds is ok by me.
My Vltor is full of batteries [Tooth]Quote:

Still, I have no complaints about the Eotech.
Well good for you.Quote:
