Alright everyone....I have, up until last year, almost always been an iron sights shooter on pretty much all my rifles save for bolt guns.
Anyways, setting up a rifle for practical purposes. It's got an ACOG up top, but I also know a lot of folks also run irons or a reflex on a 45 degree offset for quicker target acquisition at close range. I considered cowitnessing some pop up BUSs...but the eye relief that works best for me on the ACOG isn't going to allow for the rear sight to mount with enough clearance to fully pop up.
I'm a getting-older USN submarine sailor- we only had irons on M16A2s when I was in, so I don't have a lot of experience with setting up a modern tactical rifle system.
Looking for perspectives, opinions, and advice. I want it to be useful and robust - that could stand up to abuse if it needed to.
Thanks.
