    I'll keep in mind to not get plastic sights for my next rifle.

    From what I've seen (maybe I've been looking in the wrong place) it's almost double the cost. The wife liked the price point of the PRO much better. She's not much into guns, but she is definitely into how I spend my money xD I also use Amazon a lot simply because I'm used to them having the better prices, but I'm sure that is different in the gun/accessories world.

    Than sounds like a good plan.

    Not sure why the hate for BUPS (lol). Yeah, they have a weird sight picture and are fugly as hell. But as backup sights to an aimpoint they stay folded down anyways. They are lightweight. They are cheap (save money for ammo), they deploy fast. And they are actually very strong, resisting damage if the rifle is dropped, whereas metal sights bend. Pros and cons.

    Haven't needed to use BUIS since Eotech days. Wouldn't sweat the sights, especially for HD use. Nice rifle.

    The T2 May have clearer optics but new T2 is nearly double the cost of cost of an Aimpoint Pro.

    Put the PRO on as soon as you get it, its the biggest force multiplier you can put on your rifle. Dont waste any money on "upgrading" your BUIS, the MBUS is an excellent, durable iron sight that you will probably wont ever have to use.

    Congrats on the new rifle. I use an Aimpoint PRO on my go to weapon, and I think it's a great optic for the money, I only wish the dot could go a little brighter sometimes.

    I’ve had the same PRO for a few years, it’s jumped from rifle to rifle and sits on my SBR now. Great sight for the money and will give good service for a long time.

    Thanks everyone! Anyone have an idea why it was suggested to move my front sight back a notch? I'm curious about the reasoning.

    It's hard to tell from the pictures, is some of the sight's clamping or mounting surface hanging past the front of the rail? If yes, move it back so that the sight is fully attached/seated.

    Yeah, it's like barely over the front edge. I didn't think it would make much difference since it is mostly seated. Makes sense though. I'll move it back.
