Mutter Mutter Cheap Mutter Mutter

I was thinking about getting a new optic for one of the AR's.

So I checked on Primary Arms and Vortex.

Prices have gone up a tad.

Especially since I insist on quick detach for something with magnification, just in case.

I also stodgily insist on back-up iron sights.  Also, just in case.

So many things to save for...  Damned Gods of the Copybook Headings and opportunity costs!

    RE: back-up iron sights, don't turn you nose up at MagPul's MBUS sights. They get bad press from people, but I have them on two rifles and they're bomb proof. Combine them with 45deg mounts and you have instant BUIS you can use simply by rotating your rifle. The criticism is mostly because they don't cost enough to provide bragging rights IMO.

      I've got the Knight's 600m sights as back-up on my flat-tops. Got them cheap on Fleabay.

      There's been some controversy about how the USMC marked things got out into the world, but they were the same price as Magpul.

      Barring such happy happenstance, I too recommend the BUIS. Both of FuzzyGeff's rifles wear them.

      The Lovely Harvey's only has YHM because we built hers before Magpul made sights.
