All of us should be able to put rounds on a jihadi sized target at 400 yds without too much trouble using iron sights

Optics break, batteries run out.....if it CAN malfunction at the worst time possible it WILL which is why folks need to practice with open sights

Just an opinion.....
I agree. I do have a red dot scope with a 3x magnifier but have it set up to cowitness with my iron sights.
