Whatever the internet says I don't listen to. I don't even know what "they" say whoever that might be.
I kept the iron sights because they are already there. Why remove them? Why instead find a set of rings or mount that you can see through? Even if they were not there I would find a set of small yet effective iron sights like I do in some of my AR carbines. Everyone that can call him/herself a marksman should know how to shoot with them.
Then the one o clock is there for quick work. very fast! We can afford that due to the extremely light and small footprint scope we have. I didn't have a red dot back in the service because we didn't have red dots yet but if it was today I would have the exactly same or very similar setup. Let the "doer" decide what he/she needs and he/she will show your results.
The the small Burris allows you to shoot with decent quick acquisition for corner to corner work in urban scenario (70-100yards) and then beyond provides a very fast and accurate system all the way to 500 yards.
The 1pm rail doesn't stand out more than some charging handles.
If the battery goes or gets damaged then the scope is there. if the scope gets damaged then the irons are there still.
All options weight less than many scopes that cannot do half of that this one can do.
As I said some of these are "go" systems. they are all zeroed and true and not necessarily for competition.
I thought the Burris illustration was a good example of a small entry scope that is actually a good product. One day I bought one and then I bought another six the next week because I got a huge discount and was an awesome price ($160/each I think) for the bulk package. There are a few good others. I understand that this setup might not be right for everyone. If you like ACOG go with that, whatever feels comfortable TO YOU is what is good FOR YOU.
I have tried every combination I could think in the past.
Now this doesn't mean I can have all type of sights in all systems but at least two are the norm, specially if they have an actual role and not collection purposes only.
Let me know if you want to see other setups. I would need to find more pictures.
The little Burris that could!. LOL
.. and you can use it for hunting too if you want assuming it is legal if you use .223 and/or find it politically correct in your area. If you cannot trust your sights to hunt, then they cannot be used to maybe one day defend yourself. who knows.
