Also, FYI: https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2016/03/08/marines-ditch-iron-sights-consider-new-marksmanship-training-tables/

Standard iron sights, the carry handle and the three point sling are leaving (or have left) the Corps. IMHO, not before time.

My eyes ain’t what they were back in the 80s and if I could afford a Trijicon I’d have two. Had to settle for the Aimpoints. They’ll do.

By the way I earned my 600 yard qualification a few weeks ago from our local Gun club. Put 3 out of 4 rounds on a 12 x 24 steel target with an out of the box Cabela’s deer season special. Set me back around $400 or so.

Did it in front of 3 witnesses. Club rules.

Not bad for an old man.

Best,

L
