I have purchased two Ar's and 3 Ak's in the past two years. Have tried the open sights, scopes, and have finally settled on the red dot sighting system for 100-300 yard open range shooting. I mounted an Eotech 512 on the front forestock on the Ak and an Aimpoint COMPML2 on the Bushmaster upper receiver rail. For quick acquisiton on moving targets up to the 300 yards, this sighting system is pretty hard to beat. But for me where they really standout is in low lighting conditions or even at midnight on a full moon. On those nights you can see coyotes at those distances and easily hold them in your sights with these things. Especially the windowed Eotech. Shooting with both eyes open is quite natural. On the other hand, it is almost impossible to shoot anything at midnight using iron sights or scopes without night vision or a lighting system.
With the talk of SD, HD, and protecting your farm or smaller acreage from whomever and whatever, these Red Dot sights are an invaluable tool for personal and family protection in a rural setting.
