A lot of us have iron sights set up to co-witness with a primary optic, mainly as a backup in the event the optic fails, but co-witnessing like this doesn’t work if that optic is magnified. Traditionally, the product solution offered has either been a quick release on the optic mount or a set of offset sights — an otherwise-normal set of irons that hangs off a rail section at a 45° or other angle. ZeroBravo has taken quite the departure from tradition with its REOS — Rapid Engagement Offset Sights [not to be confused with ROUS, which definitely exist] — in order to provide simple, rugged sights that act both as backups and as a faster option for short ranges that can be difficult to engage with a magnified optic. . .
