To each his own combat optics

I have my preferences and I tend to be very traditional when it comes to rifle scopes.   I want thin black lines and I don’t like it when a reticle obscures the target.   Nothing would bother me more than to have a combat optic that covered a target 300yds out that was firing back  at me.  There are a lot of short sighted operators in the weekend warrior crowd that just don’t cut it when they show up at competition shoots.   I see so many people that just lack the proper setup or basic knowledge to engage targets at 300yds +.   Hold overs are real easy when you know what your ammo is doing and you can see your target.

I realize that having an illuminated high visibility reticle means fast target engagements in close quarters fighting, but so does knowing your opic.   The Trijicon TA01NSN is my favorite, not just because of the backup iron sights, but because the reticle is a very traditional skinny line targeting system, I like it.   Those lines are are setup for 62gr SCBT and are very good for giving you 400-600yd shots.   Not all combat shooting is about precision, precision shooting can me slow shooting and that can mean taking on return fire because you aren’t pinning  your target down.

Red Dots on ACOGS

I am really liking the RMR sights not because they look nice mounted on the top of a TA01 optic or a TA31, but because you can put them on just about anything.   The notion of putting a red dot on handguns is a much better idea than laser sights in my opinion because I do not think people will take as long to track a target with this sighting system.   Handguns are hard enough to shoot in tight groups a better sighting system than irons gives you something easy to see with old eyes and low light environments.   It will take less training to teach a novice to use a firearm with a sighting system like this.

If you really want to dress your M4 Carbine down and have a light and fast optic, the RMR system by itself might be good enough for you.  The RM01-33 can be mounted on a Picatinny rail system and the RM01-34 can be mounted on a Weaver system.  There are plenty  Trijicon rifle scopes  out there but don’t over look the simplicity of  a small and compact optic system that doesn’t add too much weight to your weapon.  The trend is towards lighter and faster firearms and optics are moving in that direction too.
