Any other solid choices I missed? I'd rather not give Troy or ARMS my money but if they make the best then they make the best and that's that.

Lightweight and durable? The MBUS Pro ain't too shabby in those areas from what I've seen so far.

I have one of each.cthe KAC and matech are great then KAC has the twist for elevation allowing a compact but more robust platform. The mbus PRO backups feel as good as the KAC and have the advantage of a 0-300 sight built in. If your wanting straight 600 matech is cheaper and I have it mounted on more rifles then KAC or magpul.

If it makes a difference I usually set my BUIS to a 50/200 zero. Obviously not on ones with built in range adjustment.

The Troy I have has the large and small hole but is same plane. If I have to shoot farther than that than I would just hold over or get out of the area.

Nope, bought them from GGG along with an accucam and a flip up gas block height. They make the single best flip up gas block sight in the market. The accucam works fine (deployed with it) but took a couple rounds to settle in after each QD. it's fine but the price is the equal to superior companies (ADM, LARUE, BOBRO) That sight wheel shifted constantly during use. By use I mean having it slung, put in and out of the truck, range and training time rubbing against stuff, etc. I took it off my m4 before deployment and put and MAtech back on. If I need a buis, I may need it now - not in between or on a partially rotated or half moon aperture. I did enjoy them in the range fine. The gas block FS went on my Beowulf with a VLTOR casvm. Real bad bitch of a rifle. |
