I agree, i'm planning on getting a ghost ring and front sight set up from xs sights and brockmans sights, with a tritium dot. But that would be my back up sights or for short ranges in thick brush. But an aimpoint with a 2 moa dot would be nice for longer range precision between 100 and 200 yards, plus their faster then iron sights
i am gonna get the xs rear and brockman tritium front sight unit with the ears on them. But it also would be nice to have an aimpoint with a fine dot in 2 moa for precision hunting in open oak woods where you can see past 100 yards
makes sense, but that has a lot to do with pride and ego also. Iron sights are definately more reliable then electronic sights, and I wuldn't venture into dangerous situation without reliable back up iron sights that i'm proficient with.. thats just asking for trouble. BUT if an electronic sight increases your accuracy then why not. Its easy too just put the dot wher eyou want the bullet to go
Good idea I wonder if i could get them to co witness with an aimpoint... prob not, but I bet with a burris fast fire I could.If you go that route I would set them up to "co-witness" if possible...then you don't have to worry about taking it off in the unlikely event that the e-sight should fail.
yea good point. the reason i like the 2 moa aimpoint is that 1)its rugged 2)the dot size is fine for 100-200 yard work, but can still be effective at close ranges in the case of a charge or something of that nature 3) 5 year battery life. Can't go wrong. My first order of business though will be install a good ghost ring and that tritum front sight from brockman's. I may put some glow in the dark paint on the ghost ring, not much just a dab here and there so when trekking thru bear country in the early morning or late evening with a flash light they will add extra illumination.
That's what I was thinking, the Aimpoint would probably be too high. I like the idea of the Burris FF though, while it may not be as rugged and durable it comes with its own set of advantages (co-witnessable, lighter, more compact, less likely to snag, et cetera).
the burris fast fire is still water proof... only thing is that it has a 4 MOA dot so past 100 yards its gonna be useless... leupold also makes a delta point which is supposed to be good but that one looks a big high. the delta point is nice it's the same as a comp c 3 aimpoint price wise, but its parallax free and has greater lens diamter then other reflex sights... one cool thing i look too about it is you can buy a 7 moa triangle... good for close range, and then if you wanna go 100-200 yards you can use the tip of the top triangle. its fully water proof, fully shock proof, field test, can't go wrong.That's what I was thinking, the Aimpoint would probably be too high.
