I have an older Leupold 2-7x33 with the turkey-plex reticle on my DPMS Sportical that works fine for me, but the kids seem to want "tacticool" not necessarily "practical". They both have RAR-Ps in 223 for shooting at longer distances, so I think that I might just give them each $200 and tell them to do their own research on AR sights.
Every unit that I was in issued M16A1s, long before the A2s, A3s, and M4s were regular military issue, so no sight options other than OEM irons.
