[QUOTE="SevenSixTwo, post: 1074324, member: 11463"] I know that the M14/M1A has a front sight post that equals 19in @ 300m, but I am not sure that my L1A1 front sight does the same thing. It is a post but narrows to a blade at the top, so its pretty thin. I will have to look into this because it would be great if I could do my range estimation off of my irons. However I will still get an optic because the rear sight has a little wiggle to it, so is not a precise as I would like it to be, and windage adjustments on it are a pain in the buttocks (two opposing screws, not convinient to have to take out a screwdriver between shots so I have to use kentucky windage). All in all I get the feeling that A)the burris would be a good buy for now but B) an ACOG is worth saving for and purchasing later, but I should keep in mind C) that training with my irons is still going to be a neccesity (goes without saying). Oh, and I love the Clint Smith quote about iron sights ruling the world 2 months after SHTF! Great stuff. :yelclap: [/QUOTE]
