Two things going against this setup for a SHTF rifle:
1. The DR sight.
2. The DR sight.
They probably didn't want to go with a RMR. ;)
Did I ever claim this was a SHTF rifle? That would be my AK.Quote:

I don't have too much of an issue with it, other than the fact that it sucks to actually use because of the full retard chin weld you need to use it. I had one on an ACOG TA31-ECOSG.Quote:

Do some research.
To me the TA33 is the most useable of the different ACOG's as a jack of all trades. If you're going to make it larger you might as well get a TA01 or TA31 of some sort.Quote:

Also with the main site zeroed at 100 and the mini at 50 you may find that the main site, whether ACOG or BROWE is better and faster because of cheek weld and fit than the mini at 50 yards. To me it's a 25 and in site when mounted way up there. YMMV.
There are some differences between the two products. Trijicon picked up the DOCTER line and sold over 10,000 DOCTER II plus sights to the US SOCOM. After those were fielded the US SOCOM put out a tender for 25K MRD sights.Quote:

• Smaller dot, 2 MOA
Trijicon created the RMR, but it didn’t meet all the requirements. It’s only improvement was the stronger housing (forged aluminum) and positive click adjusters. DOCTER created the DOCTER III which had a better adjustment system, water proof, stronger housing, adjuster reticle with an on/off. The winner of the contract was Insight MRDS, they were able to build the MRDS that met all the requirements. The only problem with the MRDS is that it’s expensive. Once Trijicon created the RMR they dumped the DOCTER line along with the SHIELD (J-Point) line.
