It is big for what it needs to be that's for sure. I'm guessing they are going for the brace conversion route. That would look cool af. I shoot poverty 22lr and give zero fs. Plinking is fun.

gun goals for 2019 are almost complete. they include:
building all my stripped lowers into complete rifles. still need castle nuts, retainer plates and two carbine buffer assemblies for carbine length 5.56 AR15s. package from aero came today too. like christmas
buying more 9mm, .22lr, 5.56 and 7.62x39 ammo (lower priority)
buy a few more random parts for G3, SCAR and AK
that has to be it though. god willing, none of those atrocious new laws will make it through and in a few years i can buy some more glocks and a beretta 92F

I don't see a problem with that. It's not the companies responsibility to have to eat the cost of my negligence.

Mostly I think it just doesn't matter.
I used to say the greenish yellow, I think my eyes pick it up faster (fancy .gov and big corporate types who opted for yellow safety vests for first responders and construction etc I think say research shows the bright yellow is picked up best FWIW)
But now I might say orange, if only because other sights are only available in orange and not that greenish color so it's consistent that way (like the Ameriglo sights for Gen5, orange) and I got used to orange since I have multiple pistols with orange up front now too
Can't really go wrong either way
Edit: Damn that's cheap. My only arms unlimited experience was years ago, they said something was in stock so I ordered it, a month later it was still backordered while the website still showed in stock so I canceled.

Edit: Leupold may not. It seems like I've read reviews where they did fix things for free that people sent in expecting to pay for. But I dunno. Maybe Burris and Vortex are leading that pack.
Oh, and Athlon.

High end US and Euro made optics cost exponentially more to produce, so it's going to be much harder for companies to just eat replacements or repairs on optics that cost several hundreds to even thousands of dollars in cost because the customer is stupid and negligently broke it.
Leupold will definitely fix things that are their products fault. But negligence is hit or miss. They may repair/replace for free, and they might charge you for it.

I'm interested in who offers what now so I think I'm going to make a template and fill it out for each company and post it. Might make a good reference. Going to be a little complicated though because you have companies like Bushnell that say "X, Y, Z model is covered with a lifetime NQA warranty while model A,B,C is covered with a lifetime manufacturer defect warranty, and model D,E,F is covered a by a 5 year warranty"
