[QUOTE="rc508pir, post: 2934719, member: 40091"] The army did a study back in 2001. Soldiers were 25 to 35% faster to pull the trigger to engage targets than with irons, out to 200m. 20 to 22% faster out to 300m. Past 300m irons vs M68s were about even The M68 takes sight alignment completely out of the equation but past 300m, to 500m it equaled out since breathing and trigger squeeze were more of a factor at longer distance. The 2MOA also hindered more at 500m than helped. Having to guestimate bullet drop on a 5ft wide bullseye target as opposed to a E type silhouette [/QUOTE]
