What type of ar and what optics on it now?

I don't know what scope it is, but I would rather have a normal set of sights

I like optics, irons suck. All right they dont suck but a red dot or scope makes hits soooo much easier.

I do better with the irons. The scope's reticle is literally a tiny black dot that is difficult to tell apart from the (non-removable; we've tried) other, slightly smaller, black dots that cover the lense of the scope

Needless to say, the scope isn't that good. I need to try the flip-up back sight that came with the rifle again, seeing as I have began wearing glasses since the last time I used it

Irons im only good to 50. Scopes i can shoot 100-150 never had a range longer to try farther. I actually ahvent pushed myself with irons since getting lasik and now with better eyesight and no astigmatism it may be time to give it another go.

I was making roughly chest sized groups using irons (borrowed from my father's Colt) at 75 yards, and that was without glasses.

While in combat, I carred an M-4A1 with an ACOG, I had great fun in basic and a couple of brigade rifle comps using irons on a M-16A2 shooting out to 300 yrds.

How is the acog in combat enviroments, i hear ixed reviews on them espicaially when you get up close.

From what my buddies tell me, they like them. It holds up well when the shit hits the fan and I've read an article where one stopped a bullet from a PSL.
