[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 4185370, member: 6064"] Well, occluded sights were around long before Mr. Bindon came up with the "Binding aiming concept" . The Swedish company that morphed into Armson had a battery powered occluded gun sight in the late 60,s. Matter of fact, those sights were on many of the rifles used in the Son Tay raid to recover US POWs from Hanoi. Down side of occluded gun sights is they tend to drift left or right depending on astigmatism, but they certainly work... ie a closed front scope cover as mentioned by Mr. Chit. More to the point, with a magnified optic you don't really notice the front post, and if your running a red dot like an Aim-Point or Eo-Tech the dot will sit on the front sight post, or slightly above depending on mount and in no way hinders general use of the optic/ dot. If your running a dot it allows the use of a flip up back up rear sight for when you forget to replace the battery [/QUOTE]
