I see a lot of guys, many of whom have zero application for same, get caught up in "sniper" mode (or DM, or whatever you want to label it these days) when it comes to carbines. Frankly, I don't *care* about making precise hits at distances past where I can use the RDS.
Therefore, I never did find the weight to be worth the trade-off in any LPV.
As soon as they make an LPV that weighs the same as the T2, and costs the same as the Vortex Crossfire, I'm sold.
I also have the experience of spending a year with iron sights, and not being a sniper, I learned alot about what you can actually do with them. Among other things, you can beat the shit out of a lot of LPV-shooting doods in carbine matches. Again, not being sniper.
