i've mentioned this a few times in the past when it's come up. I've stopped using BUIS on my rifles a few years ago. So I was interested to see I'm not alone in this decision.

I said substantially the same thing back in 2012 in a thread here on the same topic. www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=646761
i am glad to see the 2 rifles pictured in the article that are sporting eotechs still have BUIS though
for those of you in or around the army, have you noticed this? or is it isolated to the author's unit?

One thing you may have noticed with most of the rifles shown thus far is the lack of a full set of back-up iron sights (front and rear BUIS). Despite what the “tactical experts” say about back up iron sights beeing a must on any tactical gun, a lot of soldiers, myself included, have had no issues with either red dots or magnified optics going down on them in combat. Is it a good idea to have a set of back-up irons on your rifle? Yes, but these guys are using their rifles in harm’s way rigged like they are. If anything, their choice to not run back up irons is a testament to the durability of the current issued optics.
