50/200 sight in

[LR1955]

Already got it sighted in did a 50 yard sight in.

Didn't have any trouble getting 5 shots at a inch with eld-m.

That should do fine for what I will be useing the iron sights for.

Rifle was sighted off bags and bench.

LR1955, Have you used the accusync flip up sights?

A5B:

I was just cutting up some. Should have used one of those smiley face things I guess.

I have not used those Leapers but some older Leapers BUIS. They were the M-16A2 type of rear and a front with a crude post that wasn't straight. The rear screw broke in short order and the front would fold back under recoil. They surely didn't cost much so no great loss. I replaced them with one of the first Magpul designs. They have their problems too but at least they can take some beating and not break. Front sight stays up under recoil, too.

The accusynch offset sight you mention looks a whole lot better in manufacture than the pot metal made in China Leapers stuff I bought so maybe they are doing a better job.

I gave the offset sight thing a try with some micro dot sights and kind of gave up on it. It is a bit easier to rotate a carbine around using a dot than a set of irons because all you have to do is rotate it so you can pick up one thing -- the dot. Will probably be a bit harder to get a fast sight alignment with offset irons. To function them, you will have to rotate the carbine and flip up the front and rear sight? Then get a position again. Probably not the best way to go but they don't need batteries so there you got it.

One other thing I learned the hard way with BUIS is that you got to get the right height of each or you won't be able to get a zero. Tried to measure but to no avail so I ended up having to return a front sight. No big deal but turn around took some time. Ugh.

I was also kind of upset because the front posts on these BUIS sights are stunningly wide so you sometimes lose the target, and forget about precision. If you can put bullets into a man size upper torso at 200 with yours, you should be super happy.
