I guess I keep mine pretty tight or Im a fumblethumbs... Theoretical on my part as I never had to remove mine overseas. On my civilian weapon its not a problem as hordes of Taliban have not been recently spotted in Western Montana (although we have had tempting hordes of tourists..).

Plus, every ounce and inch in your pack makes a difference when you're humping the mountains. I had much rather have a small, lightweight BUIS already mounted on my M-4 than to be carrying a carry handle around on my kit. Just my .02 though.

My ACOG goes on or off in less than 10 seconds, how long does it take you to do it?

Are you using an ARMS 19S?
