Other than jason, don't any of you guys use iron sights anymore?
Army we shoot out to 300 meters with irons. They work

I have a bunch of rifles with iron sights. I just wanted to know what everyone uses at 100 yards, because I feel with the big scopes, they tend to make me "lazy"

Irons on my Ruger 44mag carbine, Steven 22lr and my Thompson center .56 ML. Scope and 45 off set irons on my 5.56 ar. Scope on my 6.5 Grendel, my 17HMR, and my .50 ML.
In low light hunting applications a decent scope will let you take a shot with less light then irons will.

I went back to the range today. Almost same conditions, today had slighly more wind than yesterday.
I threw a Geissele Rapid fire trigger in the gun and also swapped the Burris TAC 30 scope for a Nikon Prostaff 2.5-10x. Much better results today. I did start off cranking the scope all the way up to 10x, but had it down to 4x by the end of the trip.
I would agree the scope I had on there yesterday just wasn't right for the application.

back when they taught you how to shoot.......Marine Corps we shot 600 yards with irons. That was with the M14. They didn't issue scopes back in the dark ages.

Arent most Aimpoints slightly Tinted. I find most red dots terrible for hunting situation. Heck sometimes I have to put tape over the fibers on my Sight on my bow because its so bright.I tried an aimpoint "once " for hunting. Terrible in low light.
When did they stop?
