I have a Aimpoint PRO, Trijicon MRO, and a Leopold for Red Dots. I have Aero Precision, Midwest Industries, and Diamondhead for Irons. I don't feel I need to back up my RDS, but I have been shamed into doing it.
I did read thru the entire thread and did not see MI or Diamondhead mention, but I could have easily missed them. If no one likes them that's okay too. I do.
Magpul or Troy here.
I was in a carbine class last year and my optic mount loosened up and started wobbling. (A brand mentioned 1000x already where the optic comes with the mount from the factory)
I switched to the backups and was able to finish the drill.
Nobody is psychic no optic is perfect. Always have some kind of buis.
You, in the course of your daily life, may be faced with having to defend your life with your rifle on a two-way range. The chances that that would ever be part of my life are vanishingly small.
I don't know how you address your perception of your daily risk - it doesn't affect me. If a gunfight with your rifle is a realistic possibility in your world then I certainly agree that redundancy is prudent and would recommend BUIS to you. I live a much less dangerous life and for me BUIS is an unnecessary complication.
