Im looking for a BUIS and have a standard front sight.
will any RearBUIS line up correctly or do i need to get a "same plane" rear sight? thanks |

Realize one thing.... The rifle will shoot the way it shoots..... Make sense? Now.....if you comprehend this then we can go on....... It DOES not matter, IMO.....correct me if I am incorrect here......but aside from gear pull/accessories while shooting .....the rifle will shoot where it wants to. [The round goes where it want's to no matter what the Optic/sight says] Sight your rifle with WHATEVER your sights are....be it Magpul/stock/optic.....and realize that FOR YOU that rifle will be accurate. I can put a solid piece of tin (hopefully it will be solid and not move) and put a section of anything on it and Voila........it is sighted for me. So with that being said.....Remember...the RIFLE WILL SHOOT WHERE IT WILL.....independent on your sight! Now back to your question.... Depending on how your FS is mounted...you will or perhaps can encounter a situation where your Rear sight is potentially TOO low to achieve a satisfactory "hit on tgt" ......if this is the case you COULD but not suggested IMO raise your rear up to accommodate. Simple ballistics / sight picture.......can it work....YES......will it work...depends on your intended purpose and limitations on the hardware (assuming you have a limiting factor as in your front sight)....... Just some things to think about..... Here is a practical example: You have your Iron's set the way you like.....100y/m let's say..... Optic is set on 200Y/m...... Are they the same ???? HELL NO.......use one for one situation and one for the other..... Next example: In your example you are looking for a BUIS......for what purpose? Are you trying to Co witness? Are you looking at potentially flipping down your optic (if you have one....assuming you do)....... The answer is it depends on how you set your system up. To answer your question......in a perfect world....try to allow your back sight to enable you to (assuming it may have ele and wind) to give you the most flexibility in aligning with your FS. Just some random thoughts......... |

Just some random thoughts......... Not trying to be ugly or mean spirited or anything but just WTF are you talking about?? I hope the OP doesn't read too much into this. I know the answer to the question and you have me confused. I have no idea what you are getting at. Let me answer again.... To keep things simple as simple can be. ANY rear sight will work fine with your standard front sight. The "same plane" sights that you see for sale has nothing to do with it. With standard rear apertures the small and large aperture are on different planes. With same plane sights the aperture for both will be,...you guessed it...on the same plane. In other words the zero used for the small aperture should be the same as the zero on the big aperture and vice-versa. ANY rear sight will work in conjunction with a standard front sight. I hope this helps. |
