Thoughts?

I'm thinking "why would you want to give up 3/4 of your adjustment?", but It does look cool.

One thing Appleseed has taught me is that, no matter what the rifle, anything called an "upgrade" is 99.999% of the time actually a downgrade.   O0

Indeed. The only upgrades are to your skill.

You need to get with it UL ... everybody knows that all one needs to be true rifleman is the latest rifle gadget from isle 4.

509gman ... I'm thinking I need to buy more ammo and not a new front sight post.

That looks really cool for things like 3-Gun.... but not so much for shooting man-sized targets at 500 yards. Will it get 'er done? Sure. But it doesn't look very precise and it requires a special tool to adjust. Not to mention you have to give it a full turn or else you can't see it.

All that said.... I think I want one!

How are you supposed to do range estimation with that?

Reminds me of the diamond-shaped aperture that Troy sells, instead of the time-honored and optically correct circle.  No thanks.

The tip is one size, the spread is one size, the height is one size....you can range with anything. Plus ARs have those protective wings on them. Super easy to range with an AR.
