Thanks, it's a nice firearm, for sure. Over the years, I've used a bunch of aimpoint and eotech stuff....and had to send stuff in for warranty work. Aimpoint sells the same stuff they did 30 years ago, at a modern/proud price. I'm not fond of the halo stuff, and it's also heavy. I've got 3 Holosun sights currently, and sold stuff with 2 more. They work perfect, and I won't pay twice as much for old outdated tech.....by companies who live off their names. I have a bunch of Elcan stuff [the best in IMO], but It goes on my already heavier weapons. I also can't go back to red-dots, after shooting green. Buying anything chi-com, isn't something I enjoy,...but paying big-cheese for antique stuff, just makes me feel like I just left the urologist.
I also don't play army, and am not trying to emulate some kind of "operator". Being proficient with my "irons", is key to any weapon I shoot. And unless it's a magnified piece, I think all this other stuff is just "techy-toys" for modern-men's Barbies. I know I don't need illumination for targets at 50 yards. I just appreciate the green-dots, with my old-eyes.
