Magpul MBUS great
Excellent site but since it is a banned weapon system will probably never get to fully get use to it. Great service from your company

Surprising quality at low cost
Low profile is a plus. Pop-up works as advertised. Dead on accurate time after time. Not the least bit sloppy. Looks like aluminum from a distance. Perfect for back-up sights on an AR platform. SKD cheapest site around, great customer service.

Good backup sights for the price
Does what it's supposed to do.... These sights are backup "irons" for my AR, mounted with an Aimpoint micro. They are just shy of co-witnessing with the Aimpoint, but that wasn't their intended purpose, so it doesn't bother me at all. If the Aimpoint goes down in a fight, it'll be removed (that's why it's mounted with a QD mount). I haven't really abused this rifle, so can't speak to how rugged this plastic sight is (yet). Honestly, if this was my Oh Sh!t rifle, I would have real metal irons mounted. All in all, good back up sights for the price.

Money well spent!
Bought this to replace the buis thst came on a Sig M400. Mounting it was easy and a trip to range showed it to be dead on right out the package. Much better quality sight than the Sig factory metal sight. Highly recommend. SKD was a pleasure to do buisness with!

Best backup sight as of 2012!!!
I first saw this sight on an AR in a sporting goods store last month and was impressed with it's low profile and positive action when releasing the sight. Unfortunately, they did not have any in stock. A lot of my AR accesories are in Dark Earth, and it matches perfectly. I like that the sight has an option to snap down the small reticule and look through the bigger reticule, because it is hard to focus through the smaller one and see anything. I was concerned that the sight might not match my Bushmasters fixed front sight (too high or too low) but it is set at the right height. Windage adjustments are a little firm, but this can be a positive since they will not change unintentionally. Overall, just what I needed to complete my build, and one more way to practice on the range.

No elevation adjustment
Good solid rear sight. I was pleased with it. I've used these for the past couple years and I find them to be among the best. I was a little skeptical of polymer sights in the beginning but I'm a believer now. Plus they are significantly less expensive than other BUIS on the market.

Works perfectly
Cheap and light weight BUS low profile. Of coase they arent as good looking as a set of Troy flip up sights but they function just the same.
