What does benos think about having a division that uses all of the production rules, but allows an optic? The weight allowances would obviously have to change along with changing the external modification rules a little.
Lots of shooters have a hard time shooting irons because of eyesight, but do not have enough money to make the foray into open. Many of these same shooters also appreciate the simplicity and reliability of the production guns and the setups they use. And now that we are seeing true optics ready "production" guns and the acceptance of micro dots in the tactical/gun fighting community (on handguns) I think it's only a logical step. Perhaps we should be proactive instead of reactive.
I understand that this may draw shooters away from production, and it would also introduce yet another division. What if we replaced L10 with this idea?
I know it's a long-shot, but the idea just popped in to my head and will hopefully spark some discussion on the forum.
