After the dust settles here in ny and I get the chance to road trip to cmp in the hopes of picking up a couple more garands ( planning one one being the donor gun for a 308 mini) I would like to know what you might suggest for optic set ups. From what I have read here shuff prefers the ultimak. What optics ( if any?) will allow use of irons without removing optic if it were to go down? Even in Afghanistan I never had my red dot die but always want to have a plan b if it does. I am particularly interested in the micro size leupold delta docter Burris fast fire and trijicon rmr.
Will any of these do the trick? Also saw a thread about a mount that replaces the rear sight any further info and opinion?
Thanks for any feed back
