    They are extremely able to take hard use.

    That said, there is one thing that should be checked upon receipt, and looked for as the thing is used.

    -Mount it.
    -Flip it form stowed to UP, and back a few times.
    -Observe the windage knob to see if it turns when flipping the thing in either direction.

    It's not common, but I've seen it happen on 4 sights out of a new batch of 100, and sporadically in other batches (I don't know in what count batches the original receiver gets them; the ones I saw had been re-packaged and were in 100-count batches). I have one that does that on my Noveske upper, but the one on my BCM upper does not. Being uncommon is not the same as not being potentially undesirable, so check it out.

    Personally, I don't care, as I take the "BU" part of "BUIS" seriously (if I flip it up to use because oh-shit-my-RDS-is-down, I would have to be idiotically preoccupied by such minutae to worry about it being off by 1 click of windage), but for those who DO care, it's the only thing on that baby that I could concievably be called a no-go.

    It's certainly worthy of rogering up to the vendor, if present.

    All of my Micro rear sights do this windage-drift, and I can basically duplicate the issue 4 out of 5 times.

    I've witness-marked the windage once I have it dialed in for this very reason. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed it. It's not a deal breaker by any means.

    Does the windage drift thing happen to the non micro 300m sight?

    Just checked my 3 examples. No movement.

    Do they still do this, or did KAC make any changes?

    Just checked a rear micro that is installed on one of my rifles and there is no movement.

    A bit off topic but does anyone have an opinion on 300meter vs 600meter offset sights.

    Having owned two 200-600m Micros and one 300m micro, I can say that they are top notch. However, with the MBUS Pro out, I cant see any reason to spend the high dollar amount on the KAC anymore.

    Remember, BUIS has "Back Up" in the name.

    I like the 600m rear sight. I disliked the front sight and replaced it with a DD fixed front sight. The plastic aperture of the 300m rear fell out one day. I bought a new one from operation parts and superglued it in until I upgraded to the 600m.

    I agree to a point as the shrouded front sight is still a nice option for that reason in and of itself.
