Nothing wrong with that. But I'm still not sold on something I have to turn on an optic, or finding/buying batteries for one. Either way this purchase will probably be a month or so offStonewall said:

got my MI BUISs today! Gonna take em to the range in the am hopefully. Only problem is that the front site can't lay all the way down because I had to order a gas block model, which means taller sight, which means the sight lands on the handguard, but i can deal with it so no biggie! they definitely seem like sturdy enough sights so we'll see how it goes in the am

well..........7 months after starting this search i finally bit the bullet and ordered a Trijicon RX34 Reflex optic, with ARMS throw lever mount, the required spacer, and a killflash. its a 42mm tube, 4.5MOA dot. Found it for a halfway decent price at red-dot-scopes.com, the throw lever mount made up for it though 
oh well...wanted to do it right the first time i guess!
I went with the 4.5, because it seemed like a decent sized dot, and the 6.5 was just a tad too big. I'm not going to be attempting 600yd shots with this optic/rifle combo, this rifle typically stays in the safe, so its more of a range/zombie gun I suppose...keep a .45, .40 and 12ga handy for bumps in the night, so that is covered.
nothing against the aimpoints, or the eotechs, the trijicon was just speaking to me......went with UPS shipping of course(see my rant on that subject in the general off topic subforum), so hopefully middle of next week or so i'll have it in, and get it sighted in pretty quick i hope!
I think with this, and possibly some magpul furniture to keep the heat down up front, and I'll have it set up pretty well the way I want it, without it being ridiculously tacti-cool. will post pictures of optic when i receive it

Got it!!!! I think I'm gonna like it! But the mount has to go! I'm wanting the ARMS throw lever mount that should lower it about halfway and make it actually co-witnessable, but as it is now, if the shtf I'd just have to unscrew it and take if off if need be.

This picture is the reason for the killflash:

The blue tint isn't so noticeable in person, it's kinda like looking through polarized sunglasses

The killflash is still very transparent when screwed on so it won't be distracting

As you can see, the cowitness is nonexistent:

Hopefully I'll make it to the range to try it out soon, but I'm not going to put a lot of time and effort into it until I get the proper mount
