Looking to see what people have liked for rapid close range (for a rifle) targeting. I’d be using this for steel challenge rather than precision or distance so lots of vision and more open probably a bonus.
Can anyone help with suggestions? I’m not very long gun savvy.
what's the gun you're using?
Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
I recently built a 12.5" AR15 just for the sole purpose of running irons only and keeping myself proficient in the use of them. I settled on Scalarworks Peak iron sights (fixed) and they did not disapoint. I was shocked at just how fast they are at target acquistion, I bang steel with them from 3-75 yards for the most part and on freshly painted steel the groups are pretty tight for moving and shooting. I have an 8" round thats about 110 yards out along a road and using a tree for support I can consistantly hit it. I am super impressed with them! https://scalarworks.com/iron-sights/
Dunno, probably one of the MPX. Leaning towards the 8” one.Originally Posted by rob_s
I have a 16” handguard too but all my barrels are cut down. I could make up the length with extensions but I think lighter is probably better for something like this where transitions are important but recoil control is not.
Those look amazing!
This might be useless for long arms but on my Buckmark that I used for steel, I have a green fiber optic which is very easy to see outdoors. Whether that works on a long arm, I dunno.
Fiber optic too small so made a bigger spot.
So I’m trying to use the fiber dot as a pseudo red dot visual.
Here’s how it looks in the sun.
It’ll take some practice, but I think I like it?
I’m not set on how rearward I want to set the rear irons.
I have them pretty far forward now to restrict the ghost ring for accuracy.
But it’s vision restricted enough that I have to use vision like an occluded optic system.
After the range session I decided to drill the front hole more so I could get more fiber width for light pick up.
Drill bit was so small it didn’t fit my drill so I put duct tape around to build it up.
Worked well.
