Improved AR-15 Rear Sight

This rear sight has a match type, hooded aperture and can be ordered with precise 1/4 or 1/2 MOA adjustments.

      At first glance, this appears to be an OEM rear sight, but this one is quite different.   In my opinion, this particular rear sight is the best there is.   It was designed and made by Lew Tippie, a top High Power competition shooter.   This rear sight is not metric.   It's designed to provide you with precise 1/4 MOA windage and elevation clicks just like a target scope.

      It is important to start by setting your mechanical zero.   This is done by sighting your rifle in at 100 yards, with the rear sight cranked all the way down.   Adjust the elevation using your front sight.   After you locate the front sight elevation one time, you'll may never need to adjust it again.   You're now ready to begin using the rear sight.

      Competition shooters have found that this little accessory is a huge improvement over the standard sight.   The price is a bit steep for the average shooter.   However, this is definitely no average rear sight.   It's a quality mechanism that is designed for precision shooting.   This rear sight assembly is undoubtedly very expensive to manufacture.

      Your sight elevation and windage settings are always set according to a known number of clicks at each distance that you want to shoot.   If you are shooting at a particular distance, and you see that you need a 1 MOA adjustment, just remember that each click on your windage (or) elevation knob moves the strike of the bullet like this:

• 1/4" at 100 yards
• 1/2" at 200 yards
• 3/4" at 300 yards
• 1.0" at 400 yards
• 1.5" at 600 yards
• 2.0" at 800 yards
