Considering a set of the Magpul Mbus Gen 2 polymer flip sights for my 15-22. Magpul also makes their pro series in steel but cost more. Promag also makes a set in steel but then again at a higher price. Any pros/cons on the Gen 2s or better to go with the steel. Will be for plinking and range time.

Never had a problem with the Magpul flip-up sights. I have them on our M&P 15 MOE, SIG M-400 MOE, and M&P 15-22 MOE. All came on the rifles with Magpul furniture. If you want a aluminum alloy flip up I bought a set off Amazon from "TACTICON" they are true flip Up Iron sight "tight at first but operate them a few times to wear down the coatings and they flip up by themselves very well "they come with sight adjustment tool and mounting wrench for $29.95 shipped if you have Prime. These guys claim "TACTICON™ IS A COMBAT VETERAN OWNED COMPANY" If interested just search "TACTICON flip Up Iron sight" it will come up, Magpul sights will cost over $50 just watch the Chinese fakes selling for under $30 on the auction sights and other places. You can't go wrong with Magpul.
What's on the current 15-22 now?
Oh. Older model. I really like the MBUSs on later models. I had a steel set on an AR and would just soon have these polymers. I try to maintain the very light weight of the 15-22. Vortex Venom (3 MOA) weighs 1.1oz. Love it. Laser weighs 0.4oz however I'm waiting for arrival of a better laser weighing a fat 4.0oz.
Agree on the Magpul quality I have their fixed stock on one of my 15-22s now and it is great. Authorized Magpul seller on Ebay has the Gen 2 sights for $70.00 for both front and rear. Think I will go with those. I have also seen the cheap Chinese copys there for $35.00 and will pass on those for obvious reasons.
