    Don't know about the 300m offsets, but the 600m offsets are great. Perfect when using a low power variable optic. Very pleased with this set-up.

    I just checked my Micro rear and there is a little bit of movement on the wind, but not enough to actually 'click' over and the movement appears to be by the same amount going up each time and the same amount going down each time.

    As for 300m versus 600m....

    I would say that for 99% of what 99% of people do, the 300m will fit the bill. But, as others have mentioned, with the MBUS Pro, I'm not sure that there is anything the KAC will do that the Magpul doesn't do for much less. Ditto the front sight, unless you're running a DD M4A1 RIS II.

    All that being said, I am very fond of the 600m Micro. It's my favorite folding rear sight and the only folding rear sight I plan on using from here on out, unless/until something better comes out.

    I got my KAC Micro 300M fixed elevation sight today.

    -It fits rails perfectly straight

    -It is as depicted in pictures

    -The retention of the "stalk" is positive, but not absurd (easily operated)

    -The windage adjustments are very positive, and take conscious effort to make

    -I placed the windage wheel in-between detents and flipped the sight up and down half a dozen times. When I went to adjust the windage wheel, it was still between detents. I also adjusted the stalk up and down while placing pressure in the corresponding direction on the windage wheel. It required significant effort to adjust, even when performed in concert with moving the stalk up or down in that same direction. When you move the stalk, it does "tease" at the wheel a bit, but this appears to be normal play in the system. That is the only movement of the windage I got while manipulating the stalk and TRYING to get movement.

    I assume this means that mine is good to go, and I won't have to worry about it ever doing this? or have any of you noticed that a sight began doing this after some time. I understand that it's an assembly defect and either they will do it initially and then stop, or never do it at all.

    Snipped for content ...

    Overall I agree. However, used KAC's run a lot cheaper than the magpul; I just got 4 (600m) at $40 each from a dealer on TOS. The new Magpul's can't be found anywhere near that price yet.

    I do think the KAC sights are probably the best in the game, however; taking into account how much I actually USE my BUIS, Troys work just fine for me.

    I understand. I went with the Eotech because it has a better reputation for reliability on this forum based on user feedback, as well as the fact that I'm faster with it (the fact that almost all of the Delta I have shot with use one also helped push me). I still want quality BUIS, though!

    Newer Eotechs seem to be less problematic, but the older models not so much. I've shot with a lot of long tabbers and Tier 1 types as well, and there is about as much consensus on which is the preferred sight among that group as there is among the message board commandos.

    I absolutely hear you, and that's always a smart move. All I'm saying is for me personally, the Troys are good enough kit for how much I actually use them

    I probably use my offset BUIS more than I need to, primarily to sustain my proficiency in transitioning from high mag to irons for near targets. So for me quality irons are a must. With that said, Troys are excellent sights, more BUIS than the casual shooter needs, so I think we can rate them much higher than "good enough".
