That was a great review, thank you.
As I put before, it's my "warrior prince" fantasy gun. Hence my requirements are fungible.
Having said that, if I ever use the rifle for a serious purpose, it will be CQB, so the reviewer's recommendation for Aimpoint makes perfect sense to me.
BTW, what is the best way to tell whether my SIG 556 has a canted rail? When I look at the top rail with the stock folded, the rail looks ever so slightly canted. But perhaps my eyes (and my brain full of "canted rail" SIG 556 stories on the web) are playing tricks on me, so I'd like to know an accurate way to measure whether or not the rail is mounted true.
