So i have a Front Sight Post and a MBUS rear sight as my sights

Fuck off back to /fa/ you insufferable faggot.

I may be being daft but why do you need a reflex sight on a home defence setup?

Surely the range you may have to engage an intruder at would be good enough with the MBUS?

>>27937910
An ACOG wouldn't allow you to use your irons. Their SRS would though.

>Magnified optic
>Home defense
>used with MBUS

You are a moron

I have a cheap Russian made reflex that is turned on when light enters the little sensor on the front. Less light makes it dim. It holds zero, so I think I'll just keep going with it. Really want an aimpoint or a trijicon MRO, though.

>Doesn't want to spend 1200 dollars for an optic for a 500 rifle

Also, the SRS will be battery powered in a home defense role, as it is solar powered with AA backup.

I have a TA01 Acog with added tridium sights on the top of it with an MBUS style rear sight back up.

I have a 20 inch AR so if I were to ever use it for home defense it would have to be a last ditch effort assuming I'm not already dead after trying to use my pistol or shotgun.

In terms of home defense though, if you're wanting to spend the money on a decent AR and an optic for it only to use it in the case of home defense, be ready for it to be taken away by the cops even if you are in the right.

You can also find an ACOG for way cheaper than even 750$ if you know where to look and know how to tell if it's a real one or a chinese knock off.

Why not just get a battery operated sight that can run for 5 years? Even if you are dumb enough to not check the batteries in that time you can use the housing as a giant ghost ring.

OP you realize aimpoints run from 5-8 years on a single battery right? unless you're afraid of an emp, a battery powered sight is superior.
1) you get to control the brightness. The solar powered/fiber optic sights like acog srs and ta(51? is it the 51?), mepro m21 fail to perform well in variable light conditions
2)its a five fucking year battery life.

also, at the distances inside of home of inside 15 meters, your front sight post is enough to point shoot.

>Not just buying a dual illuminated RMR which will actually work with the BUIS for a fraction of the cost

With that said, how difficult is it for you to replace batteries on a schedule?

>>27937910
Check out "see all sight" on Amazon. It runs around $100 takes no batteries and is a reflex. The reviews look good, Im thinking of gettng one....but I have already bought an Eotech.

The down sode os it works off of ambient light, but if you have a tac light you are gtg

>fail-proof

Fucking Aimpoint.

>no battery required

Aimpoints need batteries. Doesn't matter because they last so fucking long it's almost like it runs on magic.

Havingg backup irons is SOP for my agency. I run an Aimpoint T1 Micro on my personal gun and an Aimpoint Comp M4 on my SWAT gun. Aimpoint Comp M3 and Aimpoint PROs see use as well as EO Techs, Trijicon Reflexes, and Vortex Strikefire or Vortex SPARCs. If you run magnified and don't wanna have to ditch a QD optic, you'd need to try Surefire RTS or clones which would require FSP removal. Trijicon ACOGs are slow, magnified optic and are the oposite of what you want, which is a fast, non magnified optic.

I've deadlined a few of these.

I'm a fan of the Israeli Meprolight M21 with a triangle reticle, which is a passively lit fiber optic reflex sight (no magnification), but I'm in the minority for sure on that because it's a special snowflake jew optic that costs many shekels ($500).
