JerZSquid Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I need a flip up style iron sight for my AR. I currently have a Daniel Defense front sight and a Vortex Viper PST 1-4 sitting in a Bobro mount. The DD rear sight doesn't fit with the scope so I would like to add some sort of back up style sight that might fit under the rear objective of the scope. Any suggestions?

JerZSquid Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Might have to move the scope forward a little to be ale to fit one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naka16 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 +1 on the magpul bus. Looks like it should just fit under your scope. It's about 1/2" tall by 2 1/2" long when not in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuflehundon Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 That or why not get an 45 degree offset mounted sight set. Then you wouldn't need to move your scope to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotdown Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I just purchased a set of the Knight's Armament 45 degree offset sight. I've haven't shot with them much but so far I like them since they are pretty low profile. The rear sight has a removable plastic piece which acts as the 600 m peep hole. However, it can be removed so that you can use the 0-200m peep hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinrichDerLowe Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I really like the offset sights, but have difficulty understanding the purpose of the fine peep when the sights are primarily used for close in work. My question to ya'll is whether you actually use the backup irons for longer range (perhaps in the unlikely event your scope fails in a match) or do you leave the scope on higher magnification and use the offsets for burning through close targets?
