Just wondering what guys prefer on your Ar's, either iron type sights or scopes. Im looking to dive into the world of the Ar and mostly I like the open sights on the rifles I have now. But an Ar being a totally different animal over just a normal rifle, what do like for accuracy, target acquisition Which do you prefer and why?
Trijicon makes a great ACOG scope, which also has a built in "iron sight" feature. The rear sight is directly on top of the ACOG scope, which enables you to have both.
You can also get a riser for your scope mount and have the luxury of both worlds at once if you don't want to spend the money on an ACOG. The riser will set the scope high enough to look through your iron sights for closer range shooting.
For quick target acquisition I would suggest an open sight optic. Osprey makes a wonderful optic that you can usually find at gun shows for around $100, which is much much cheaper than your EOTech and does the exact same thing.
Hope this helps you decide what you want.
