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.

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.

I loved mine. I had the 4x adjustable. It was perfect. I could stretch the ranger of my M-4 out to a good 400 yards with it.

Worked just fine up-close.

I think the pinnacle of red dots s the S&B short dot, but it cost the same as 2 m4s lol.

If it's a red dot, I would like something cheap and affordable. There really is nothing special about a plain old red dot regardless of what company made it. It's just something for quick target acquisition. A scope, I would like it to be adjustable.
