GG&G vs Troy Rear Flip-Up

[AntZ 1]

which is better? I can't see how to adjust elevation from looking at the pictures of both.

While we are waiting for the votes, anyone want to comment on the sights?

I have the Troy, it's sturdy and very well built, but I have to say the irons that came with my M1A were significantly better. I guess that's why they call them "Back Up" Iron Sights.

I have the GG&G spring loaded A2 BUIS. It's solid and seems bullet proof.

 

I also have the bolt on gas block flip up front sight. It's equally great.

I run the GG&G BUIS and have for about 4 yrs now. They are very solid and easy to work with.

How do you adjust for different distances?

[Lublin 3]

With the GG&G products, your elevation is adjusted on your FSB, your windage is adjusted on your BUIS.

There is a lot of good info here:

The rear sight has 2 aperatures- a 0-2 (large) aperature for short range 0-200 meters and an unmarked aperature (small) for 300-800 meters.

 

On my GG&G I utilize the knob on the right side of the sight to adjust windage and then adjust the front sight for elevation since there is no elevation drum on this BUIS.

I wish there were a BUIS had elevation drum so I can adjust for different distances within a second. I guess that is one of the reasons that they are called "Backup".

Check out the Knights Reed BUIS then. It is dial adjustable for ranges out to 600 yards (meters maybe).
