I'm rebuilding my wife's AR. It will be a 16" lightweight carbine flattop. The old upper had a Trijicon Reflex with the triangle. She liked the sight a lot, but of course there were the washout issues.

What do you guys suggest for a replacement optic? Right now I'm debating on a Compact Acog (low magnification with red triangle) and the Accupoint (1-4x with red triangle); however, I am open to other suggestions.

I read something briefly on an issue with the Accupoint being difficult to use in the dark. Can anyone give any more info?

Thanks...
