I have the same reservations about that scope as I do with any optic that large, or even elevated with a large riser.

Entanglement, rough handling vulnerability, etc.   I chose an EOtech 512 due to the lowest profile and a shape that does not invite snagging.

Will be interesting who starts breaking their new optics first.  Marines and their Trijicon or Army and their Sigs. . .

My $$$ is on the Marines. . .  ;D
