Galil in .308
I didnt even know they made them in 308 who built the gun century?Galil in .308
Funny how this started a semantics debate.
I would take my AR. I have plenty of ammo for it and I feel comfortable with it. .223/5.56 is not the ideal all around caliber, but would work for hunting and self defense. I could carry alot of ammo and as a popular cartridge it would be easy to resupply. If I anticipate having to walk everywhere I would probably put the carbine upper/buttstock on it. Fullsize rifles aren't a whole lot heavier, but every pound counts. I would keep the iron sights. Optics are nice but if they're damaged, you're SOL. Same for the red dot sights. Awesome until the battery runs out. I may have given this a tad too much thought.
Iron sights as a Backup for sure, but not as primary. All my ARs have backup irons.I would keep the iron sights.
Don't buy crap optics and it's not so much an issue.Optics are nice but if they're damaged, you're SOL.
Well if you got a newere Aimpoint they are good for something like 10,000 hours on a battery? Spare batteries are reasonably priced, small, and very lightweight - it's easy to have a spare or three on the rifle and they can store for up to 10 years (lithium).Same for the red dot sights.

My Aimpoint has a 4 year, constant on battery life. And it's an Aimpoint, they're kind of tough. I still wouldn't use an AR for SHTF/PAW, that aluminum tube holding the stock wouldn't hold up to butt stroking someone in the head more than a couple of times.
Irons are nice; until you need to shoot in low light or speed is a critical priority...
depends...SCAR, how many FA AK's do you own? lol
of what intent is your question intended?

was mostly confusion of who was saying battle/combat/etc and what they meant.
seemed like the AK was being assumed as FA but the AR was semi
I assume ak in the same class as the AR
ExactlyWell played. The black front sight post is hard to see in low light.
It's easy to test with a shot timer. Start from low ready, on the beep snap your rifle up and put a round in the A zone.I don't see it being any slower though.
fiber or glow luminous sights can help with that without needing batteries.
I like to have night sights or fiber sights and a detachable scope or holo
Exactly

With irons you need to have sight alignment and sight picture - with a red dot all that is required is a sight picture.
There is a reason why red-dots and EOTechs dominate close in shooting, and it's due to their speed.
