Budget BUIS

[usmcvet]

keep a eye open othe the slaes boards, most of the time you can pick up Matech sights for your $60.00

I think they are for sale on th ee board for $46 new in the bag. I bought one there a few months ago. I put it on my upper and have not used it yet. If you're interested send me a PM. I have an extra Troy I plan to use.

+1 for the Matech sight if you're on a budget. Market price is around $45.

These sight have both windage and elevation adjustments.

I think I may need to steer this topic in another direction...I realized the the term I used, BUIS, may have been different from what I am looking for. I currently have NO optics on my carbine and someone suggested that I may be looking for PRIMARY sights rather than back up sights. Are these the same or are the back ups more for longer range? I'm looking for something that I can shoot within 100m as well as past 300m.

Dont see anything wrong with the matech. Has both elev and wind. Not to many have both.

can the MATECH be used to shoot at 50 yards?

The Matech sight is a destoyer of eye protection if you run nose to charging handle and are not careful. I ruined two good pairs of eye pro on a Matech sight because I wasn't paying attention. Regardless, it is a very good sight for the money.

Yes, the Matech can be shot at 50 yards.

I run my CTR all the way open. But it was my understanding the MATECH was marked for 200-600 meters (or yards).

You have a difficult time finding an iron sight marked under 200yards/meters, nor is there a need for that.

You'll learn your hold overs and point of impact with use. The standard A2 sights are marked 0-200 meters for the large apeture. You just learn through use.

If you aren't running an optic, you really need to go with fixed sights. No folding BUIS (there's a reason they're classified as "backup") will be as strong or as durable as a fixed set.
