Thanks man. Before this thread, I wasn't able to articulate it. It being the balance between eye relief (read effectively as perceived aperture size) and sight radius. People are calling me stupid and screaming "sight radius!" but at a point, you're effectively making your aperture appear so big that the possibility of error from that dwarfs the relatively small gain in sight radius as the rear sight gets closer and closer to your eye. I'm sure there is an optimum balance somewhere depending on the sights and rail length which would make it gun specific.
Thanks again to the people actually considering the question.
Speaking about iron sights. Who makes Mp5 style sights for ARs?

My boyfriend has a short 300aac like that, it has a thordsen on it and the lop is too short putting the eye too close for a standard rear sight position.

MP5 style as in just the post-in-circle front sight or do you mean the diopter rear sights too? Pretty sure Centurion does a full set of front + diopter, while Troy and Aero and maybe a couple others do sets with HK style fronts.
We live in an age where I have no idea what your gender is based on that post. They're putting chemicals in the water that are turning the freaking frogs gay.
