Back up iron sights?
Just bought the 15-22 a few weeks ago and love this gun such a blast to shoot. Any ways I'm looking into buying some good flip up sights like Troy or another quality brand. My plan is to start buying good parts and then transfer to my AR when the time comes. So my question is are the Troy micro's a good setup for the 15-22 and what are some other brands to take a look at? I had a set of the magpul's just didn't care for the plastic.
Thanks in advance
Craig

Nothing wrong with the Magpuls...plastic looks the same as iron looking down the barrel. JMO

Skip the micros and get standard height Troys and you will be gtg... I run them on my ARs and they are top notch!

Thinking in terms of eventually transferring them to an AR - I cast my vote for the standard Troy flip-ups.

I have MBUS on my 15-22 and Troy's on my 15T. Both are adequate to the task but the Troy's are superior (also twice as much).
MBUS are polymer, Troy's are steel. I think that Troy's will handle abuse that may disable the MBUS. The Troy front is not affected by heat, something to consider if these ever find their way to the gas block on an AR15. Not a consideration on the 15-22.
With that said the MBUS on the 15-22 works great.

That link posted a few post up was pretty interesting. Surprised that the magpul's held up to two drops. I went ahead and got the Troy HK style front and I think I'm going to go with a armalite carry handle with the sight built into the rear for the back so I can mount the scope and still use it as well. Thanks for all the info guys will post some pics in the next week when everything shows up.

I put 45deg offset BUIS on the wifey rifle. Fast transition from scope to BUIS.

Magpul for sure, light, accurate, easy to use.
If you MUST have steel for some reason, they have steel ones coming out.

If your future AR will have a pyramid sight/gas block consider the military Matech...excellent flip rear sight.

They make great stuff. I've got their saddle on my Remington 870 Tactical. Best one I could find. Quality stuff.
