AR-15 - Do you prefer sights or scopes?

[Zephri]

I like to have both on my rifles and of American made quality.

Guess that leaves out Aimpoint.

Play around with both...it'll make you learn your rifle better

I prefer irons all the way.

Just a note on the shooting with both eyes open thing with reddots, it doesn't work well with a lazy eye.

When I try this my left eye looks down the sight and my right looks at the ground, which splits the image.

Just one thing to consider with them.

I have a similar problem; my right eye wanders up and out when I concentrate on the left.

That said, on my go-to M4 I have the fixed carry handle, and a red dot clear of the irons. Probably wouldn't put a magnifying scope on an AR anymore; I have better stuff to reach out and touch someone.

I prefer an Aimpoint with a set of irons in the lower 1/3

I am a big fan of the durability of iron sights and the fact that they don't take batteries. I think it's funny though that these days you can get a scope or a red dot sight for less money than iron sights.

Ive always been a scope king of guy, but I still like my irons. they each have a purpose and place.
