  1. Yeah, the SUIT reticle arrangement was a neat idea, but I don't think the advantage of not having the post obscure the target during recoil outweighs the advantage of being able to track the target as you bring the rifle up from a low ready - honestly, most troops really aren't tracking the target during recoil, and the SUIT was made for line grunts, not precision riflemen. It's like BDC cams on line infantry rifles - multiple studies by multiple nations (and multiple forces within nations) have shown that, by and large, PVT Snuffy isn't dialing range in combat (and the days of the lieutenant shouting, "Set your sights to 300 yards, lads!" as the wave of spear armed locals pass the appropriate range stake are long gone), he's holding off. So, there is little point in designing a sight with more than the simplest and most rugged BDC, if it is intended for the PBI (Poor Bloody Infantry), much less the 80% of the force that aren't even riflemen by trade. Save those fancy features for the guys who will actually make use of them, unless you can incorporate them into the "line" rifles without loss of other functionality, features, or ruggedness.
