I am putting together a couple of AR to leave at our family vacation house. I am trying to mimic the rifle we shoot the most and that everyone in the family is familiar with. It is a 6920 with DD A 1.5 and an Aimpoint Micro T1 for the sighting system. This set up is simple and has served me well for years. I have other AR setups, but this one gets used most often when we are shooting as a family.
I was looking a getting a couple of Micros for these rifles when I noticed that Aimpoint now offer the Duty RDS. These are about 1/2 the price of the T2 and seem to be a pretty solid sight for the money. Since these rifles will do more sitting than shooting, it would be nice to save the dollars to add lights or buy more ammo to practice. I have looked up some reviews online and they seem to be mostly positive.
From all this comes a couple of questions. First does anyone have hands on experience with a Duty RDS? And....I was wondering if there is anything else in the $500 dollar range that I should consider? We will be shooting these rifles several times a year, so they will see some use. I don't anticipate them getting beat up like my rifle, but would like them to be durable and match the quality of the rifles (6920s).
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Matt
