Honestly, I threw it on there to check out and because my optic mount has a rear aperture integrated into it. Had a rear iron sight figured why not add a front? But using irons is about the last redundant aiming device I want to mess with since there's a vis laser on the gun, and a micro sight (T2 in this instance). If by some miracle the Aimpoint and dbal both go down, if my target's visible in the narrow tube of the rds, acceptable hits via a gross sight picture are good to within _____m (distance dependent on your barrel length, ammo).
Just another reason I prefer the Aimpoint micro series. But again, if your work dictates you have BUIS...or if you need a backup sighting system with some precision and think that you'll realistically be lining up your front/rear irons...the leaf is a really cool way to be efficient, especially on SBRs or shorter rails.
