Not to start a flame war, but had a few basic questions: Currently I have a Midwest Industries Emergency Rear Sight on my Stag M2 with a fixed front sight. While talking to some other guys at the range who have different setups, they mentioned to look into a Troy or LaRue BUIS. Is there really a difference or any reason why to go with one or the other (or any other kind of rear sight?) I am looking to eventually co-witness an EoTech or Aimpoint and like to shoot with irons to about 300 yards. Also, I forgot to ask, but what is the name/designation of the forward mounted laser system which noone can see but the person looking through the optics behind the rifle? Thanks for the help... |

Thanks, personally I didn't think there was a big difference but I am not an expert so I figured Id ask. As far as the IR item, I know that it wasnt an Aimpoint as this was mounted on the front (behind the gasblock) and I was told was used to send out an IR beam that the target wouldnt be able to see and was an illuminator - is that nightvision? |

I think that's what it is. http://www.auroratactical.com/product.php?productid=16173&cat=268&bestseller=Y Ironically, my father in law has a set of NV goggles and I was planning on purchasing a NV ready EoTech. How would this all work together? From the looks of it, 1 is a beam which only NV can see, and the other is the equilavent of a highpowered flashlight that only NV can see. Thanks for all your help Matthews |

MI's products are fine, but they aren't quite as tacticool and revered as other brands. I am a brand whore myself, Daniel Defense, Larue, and Magpul adorning my black rifle. However, when it comes down to it, cheaper brands do 90% of the same thing at 50% the cost, so don't sweat it. |
