45 degree Iron sights

If you have a task that requires using both magnified optics and iron sights, they make sense, though I would just offset mount another optic.
Some three gun guys use them, but it seems more common at the lower levels.

As I understand, it depends on the competitive class. If they put a microdot on, it bumps them to the open class.

I'm thinking about getting a flat top for my AR build and throwing mid power scope on it with a set of these it makes sense to me

Same here. There are some interesting takes on the idea like the advantage tactical. Haven't looked in a while but it seems like ghost rings would play well too

is it okay to co-witness rds with this tilt sights?

Pretty much this, one rifle optic only in tactical class. Two optics on your rifle puts you in open class, which also means full-on race pistols(compensators and optics), and speed loading devices, optics and compensators for your shotgun. To be competitive in open class requires a much bigger investment in guns and gear. Tactical class is where you can do well with mostly stock weapons. Pic related, my 3-gun AR.
my sr-25 came stock with them I sighted them in and that is about it

It is good if you find yourself in a situation that you require a magnified optic and close range in quick succession. Ultimately, you'd be better served just using a offset RDS.
I tried, and did not like, offset irons.
There's no scenario in which I'd want to use irons over my optics. I'm actually faster up close with an acog. It's not to hard to shoot both eyes open with them. I keep irons on my rifle incase my optics fail, in which case the optic comes off the weapon. QD mounts are a lot of fun.
breddy gud on a FAMAS

classic DICE
Useful for 3gun and shenanigans.
Pointless but harmless for most other stuff.
No one cares.
I know this may sound dumb, but bear with me
As a left hander, not a lot of options for left handed offset irons. If I went with right handed offset irons, and sighted them in to be dead on elevation wise at 25/200 and just left the windage zero ~1" left so I am also not dealing with adjusting for a changing zero based on windage as well....
Any reason to not do this? Don't even have to rotate that rifle, just sort of adjust cheek weld a bit
they are useful if ya got a scope

Literally just flip them around.

competition seems like the only practical use for something like this
otherwise you could just get a raised mount or an optic that isn't so restrictive
>>29406247
I bought em because they were $12 so fuck it
>>29408547
I admire how thoroughly they modeled it. However it has no practical usability. I just wish the gameplay was more than mediocre.
Sometimes the lens of optics can fog up and offset irons can offer an expedient alternative.
Jerry Miculek uses them unironically, he uses a red dot on a 45 degree. Keeps his 1-6x variable optic at 6x. He seems to shoot his AR canted by using his red dot most of the time

When will this meme die you fucking hipsters?
You're all so anti everything that you're the most ultimate hipsters, maximum proto hipsters. You're anti anti. You even hate yourselves.
For low power optics it's not really necessary for a combative purpose. If you had higher mag optics (thinking more like 6x) then perhaps it would be better option, as would a microdot or mini reflex as all are faster than readjusting the optic. For very close range you can somewhat fudge it without a sight at all with the rifle canted, situation permitting.
For competition where more minute accuracy is needed it makes great sense. You are less concerned about mucking about with more gear on the rifle, tenths of a second count, and you may be restricted by competition requirements.
They serve a purpose, but for the average rifle its a little limited. To each their own.
