Eye relief is the distance a shooter needs to keep their eye from the lens of the optic to maintain a proper field of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marines also are requesting backup iron sights with the squad common optic. Should an optic become impaired, run out of battery power or be damaged, backup iron sights will allow a Marine to stay in the fight and engage targets with precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFront and rear iron sights shall be immediately usable upon removal of the squad common optic,\u201d the posting reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its latest budget request, the Corps is sinking nearly $19 million into its new higher powered replacement for the Trijicon-manufactured rifle combat optic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Procurement of the squad common optic is expected to begin fourth quarter of 2020, and fielding will commence by second quarter of 2021, Maj. Ken Kunze, a spokesman for Marine Corps Systems Command, told Marine Corps Times in an emailed statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Corps may order up to 30,000 of the
