20 years ago irons made sense. I'm just not as fast with them anymore. If batteries were ever to become an issue I'd grab an ACOG and never look back.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SpacemanSpiff: I'm not talking about larping for a few hours. I'm talking about living in the mountains in northern Maine through the winter, hiking, cutting trees, hauling firewood, breaking trail, etc etc. Keeping an optic on all the time isn't worth the hassle for me. Half the time the lens is full of ice or mud or sawdust and even irons have issues with shit getting in them, it's just they are more likely to stay usable. I'm not interested in worrying if my lens covers are on or if I need to clean my lenses again. I want a rifle I can sling up and go in and out of the house or truck or ATV and not have to worry if the lens is going to frost over with condensate or get covered in crap when it's -15 and snow and ice is blowing off of every tree. For condensate on the lens exterior, have you thought about using Cat Crap? We're from the Washington area and I used it all the time since you could be moving from a dry to humid environment very quickly. |

Down to one AR with Irons. An old factory 14.5 P/W Bushy flattop with a carry handle.
My go-to is a 10.5 pistol with an MRO. The MRO, while robust and has killer battery life, really sucks at holding groups past about 20 yards. I should toss it and stick on my cheapo Holosun dot but I have like $500+ tied up in it. I'd sell the MRO, but it's that bad, I couldn't with good conscious let someone pay me money for it. |

Both my primary and secondary ARs are irons. Both are PW 14.5s, Both are set with the RIBZ method. To me a light is more important than optics. I am comfortable with irons. Most of the other ARs have optics, their either plinkers or hunting rifles though. |
