so they worth the moola? looks kinda bulky. I haven't had the chance to use them much, but so far I really like them. I like the ghost ring setup for rifle sights in general and I've never had any problem being accurate with them on any rifle. They're a lot easier to see at speed than the traditional irons, IMO. If you want to use irons, they're the way to go. |

Tech Sights are overall a good package and deal, but it depends on your rifle's stock. They sit a little higher than the standard leaf sight on the 10/22, but still too low for my Archangel Target Deluxe stock. My stock is more setup for optics, but I can still use the tech sights with some practice.
The tech sights do provide a better sight picture too. One side note, they are NOT made in America. Nothing wrong with that, since I have several Soviet surplus firearms, but it is something to be aware of. Brownells seems to have Tech Sights at a reasonable price and sometimes can use coupons there. Another option is Nodak, they have some peep sight setups for 10/22. Just something to consider. |

Tec Sights are about like M16/AR15 sights. They also offer the maximum sight radius you can put on most 22 rifles, with the exception of tang sights. The front post is very slim, like a NM AR sight.
No Dak rear sights are great. The front is blocky/bulky and is a copy of an AK/SKS design, which is fine for those rifles but not what I want on an iron sighted 22. Supposedly, the No Dak rear sight and Tec Sight front post sight are not compatible. While they seem like the perfect combination, supposedly the front would not have enough elevation to match the rear. That's a real shame. Neither set is very expensive. |

Well, they sit kinda high (like an AR's irons), but they're comfortable to use and the sight picture is the same as an AR. If you like an AR's iron sights, you'll like the Tech Sights.
The rear sight assembly is made of aluminum that's a little soft. With careless, rough handling, I have managed to bend the rear sight wings/ears, but I was able to bend them back into shape. I like 'em and think they're worth the money (I'm speaking of the TS100; I've never tried the TS200). |

Yes they are worth the money if you want the best replacement sight options available. Well made, easy to install and sight in and a very good sight picture. Mostly agreed. Not the tech sights fault, but getting Ruger's front dovetail off is a PITA for most see my recent post on this forum. |
I use the tech sights on a 1970 10/22 to compete with guys with $1200 Anchutz rifles in the woods shooting our silhouette shoots. I win that division more often than not. They are worth every penny.
We had some fun races at our recent arfcom get together this year. We put water bottles filled with tap water and food coloring every 10 yards all the way to 100 yards. I didn't beat the guys with the scopes but it was damn close. It was a blast.

Tech Sights are AWESOME!! I Love the out folding ears on them, I use the ears to get proper eye relief, I use High Viz Gun sight paint on the ears and the center sight.
I also switched to the adjustable rear aperture on the Peep and use the largest aperture sight in the rear. |
