    I too always liked the irons. Our C79 was never my favorite. I don't mind the Aimpoint for the red dot but would rather have an ACOG for it's standing retical pattern. Very solid optic too. My eyes aren't what they used to be...for irons.

    Sadly, I have to agree... As much as I love irons, I really do need a red dot! Getting old is heck!
