    BUIS: KAC 200-600 micro or Troy?

    Do y'all think one of these is preferable to the other overall, or would one or the other be the top choice in certain specific situations? CQB? Primary sight on a non-optic KISS carbine? Anti-coyote truck carbine? Iron sight hunting rig?

    I prefer the KAC because its skinnier where the CH is. I find the Troy sticks out a bit far, and can hinder getting a good grasp on the CH. Just too wide around the aperture for me....The KAC is skinner, and doesnt stick out past the top of the receiver like the Troy does.

    I prefer the KAC as the previous poster said its skinnier but the peep is finer for more precise sight picture plus adjustable for elevation on the fly. The Troy is great but the default peep when you flip it up is the ghost ring.

    If it's a fighting gun the Troy will work just fine. I've never had an issue with them interfering with the CH.

    For a more precise BUIS the KAC gets the nod.

    I guess one or the other fits different needs you listed. What's the primary use for the rifle?
    Only hits count......you can not miss fast enough to catch up

    I would personally go with the KAC as I've broken 2 of the Troy. My gear gets pretty beat on, but thats how it goes sometimes. I know lots of guys who have never had any trouble with their Troy units.

    Go for the KAC. It's everything you'll need and IIRC you cannot store the Troy with the small apperature ready. You would have to flip up the rear sight and then flip to the small apperature or take it apart and reverse it.

    Troy. Robust as all hell and you have a choice of apertures.

    +1. You can order the rear from Troy with a reverse appeture.

    At this point the rifle's primary use is helping my son get familiar with the 5.56mm platform before going to USMC boot camp in June. Later it will probably become a truck gun for helping local ranchers with coyote control.

    What did you manage to break on your Troy sights? Did they take care of it for you?
