Decided, significantly because of this thread, not to be "that guy" and installed a set of Magpul MBUIS on my SIG M400 Tread with a Romeo5. And properly zeroed 'em. While I may never need them, at least if I do, they're there and ready.
Best, Jon

I just replaced the batteries in a bunch of Aimpoint Micros. Some of them had been on 6 years and still running.
But I still run plastic MBUS.
My home defense gun has an aimpoint so I'm not concerned with irons. Plus, if the aimpoint happens to go down and I have to shoot a thing at the farthest point in my house I'm looking at less than 25 yards, easy enough to point shoot through the optic body.
That being said, I wouldn't dissuade someone from running them.
Have you validated point shooting through the optic body live at 25 yards?Quote:

It has BUIS installed which I shoot frequently with.
With a new Sheriff starting in a couple of weeks, I am cautiously optimistic we can finally start a rifle program before I retire.

On my red dot rifle I absolutely have a set of the plastic mbuis as true "oh fuck" backups. That said, on my rifle with a p4xi I do not have irons as the optic has an etched reticle. Maybe I'm dumb tho....I've been looking at 45 offset irons but have not made the purchase yet.
Having, in my youth, spent several hundred to thousands of hours behind a daisy with garbage sights that I learned to not use, I can confirm this as a possibility.Quote:

BTW, do you use the Pemi range?
