I personally feel the small micro reflex sights like the RMR and Deltapoint...

Are not wee suited as a primary optic. They seem too fragile for that role. They are exposed and can be damaged if the rifle is dropped. I have heard stories of them breaking from such things.

There are special mounts that have protective pieces that would take the brunt of the damgae in the case of a drop though.

I think they are better used on pistols, small pistol sub guns, and as backups or offset sights on a rifle.
