+1

This is exactly what I will be doing with my XM177E2... But as for now... I use just the Irons.


I prefer co-witnessing any day over just the irons or just the red dot.

I prefer Iron sights. I just don't like narrowing my field of vision it makes me feel like some one could sneak up on me.

I use scopes obviously on my rifle, and I did on my old G3 too.

I use my iron sights. I have a red dot on my g36 but I just tend to not use it.

I use a Green-Dot on my FN2000, but its just as easy to fire without any real aiming. The ironnsights on it are nice and work well, but I don't really like iron-sights.

I like to use a red dot in conjunction to irons, but my AK mount eliminates the iron sights, so it's one or the other.
Right now, it's red dot
