Some here are looking at the Aimpoint itself but not how outside influences might cause issues with it. I have had an Aimpoint trashed due to a bad landing after a HALO and some former teammates have also had theirs (along with other brand sights) damaged during missions…shit happens. I have been on the receiving end of Murphy’s butt-stroke too many times in my career to not have my back-ups squared away.
I think so
OP, did you ever get your issue with your iron sights sorted out?
Me, too, but not for the same reasons…
It usually takes me a while to buy an optic and mount it, so I’m stuck with nothing but irons for a while.
Also, having the irons already dialed in means that I can “boresight” the optic in my backyard by simply lining it up to the same POA as the irons.
