Recently purchases a Daniel Defense rifle, sans sights. Will mount an Aimpoint Pro but not sure about the BUIS. I was thinking about the DD fixed sights. Would appreciate some feedback on fix vs. flip up type sights. Thanks, |

Would appreciate some feedback on fix vs. flip up type sights. Thanks, Will it be absolute co-witness or lower 1/3? For a non-magnified optic, I don't see a point in flip-up sights, especially if your aimpoint will be lower 1/3. However, I am the patron saint of contradiction. I have magpul MBUS gen 2's with my aimpoint pro in a 1/3 lower co-witness. Bottom line. Get what you want, but buy quality. |

I have the Swan marked polymer sights and they work though I'd just as soon not have the notch in them.
I also like that the center of the larger aperature is set up for a shorter range while smaller ap. is set for longer range. A rear sight with adjustments for range would be nice to have. |
| If you go the fixed route, make sure your PRO is sitting on a lower 1/3 mount. If you go with flip ups, I'd get a mount that provides absolute cowitness. As for the DD A1.5 rear fixed sight, it's built like a tank, but doesn't have a same plane aperture. The Troy fixed BUIS, however, do provide a same plane aperture. Personally, I have rifles outfitted with both, but it just depends on your preference and intended purpose. Have you bought your PRO yet? If not, they can be had for $424 from either Larue or American Defense with a mount of your choice, then flip the QRP2 it comes with for like $40 on the EE. |

Thanks to all for your help. |
| Aimpoint Pro or T-1 ect I like flip-up sight's, the FOV is already on the small side and even lower 1/3 Co-witness is cluttered to me with the FSP in the view especially with a T-1 size RDS. Now, with my EOTechs and C-mores I like fixed back-up's. With these, the FOV is like looking at a big screen TV so the little bit of FSP is no biggie, if the dot goes down I don't have to do a thing but slightly lower my cheek weld. My EOTech and one C-more use mounts with built in fixed A2's, I have two more C-mores that use DD fixed rears and Sampson HK fronts, love that combo! |
