If you're moving the front sight post up and down and it isn't making a difference in where your rounds go, you do not have a consistent sight picture. You need to work on that. Today, 2 clicks of my Troy front sight gave me almost 1.25" of movement at 25 yards.

I started on Irons too about 12 years ago as well. But they are obsolete now compared with Optics. I agree you should know how to use them but they are a secondary sight. What you are saying makes as much sense to me as driving your car around with the donut spare because you might have to some day when you get a flat.

I agree and I also make my guys qualify with their Irons as well. Actually I sight my irons on at 50 yards. Same for my red dots. I sight the scopes in at 100. I guess I have a little more faith in my optics than you guys. I would never run a rifle without back up irons.

At this point it seems as if there is something wrong with his BUIS or the manner with which he uses his irons that really should be resolved before he goes to a RDS as a primary. Just my opinion though.
I can understand with Eotechs although I was lucky and mine ran. I now run an AImpoint. The battery lasts 8 years and its bullet proof. I have seen Irons fail too. Once during a qualification one of my officers got snow in the aperture and could not see the target causing him to have 2 over time shots by the time he got it fixed.
