Rear sight to cowitnes with vortex

[brit84]

Im looking to get a vortex strikefire for my norc m4 and would like to get a rear sight to cowitness.

anyone got any ideas? nc star? magpul? I plan on using the stock front sight for now. flip down preferred

thanks

I use a vortex strikefire and magpul front and rear backup sights, works great.

 

[brit84]

nice!, would the magpul work with the stock front sight?

Yes it will. Any flip style sight should co-witness with the optic and the front sight tower.

cool, thankyou, any good suggestions?in the $50 range+or- for a rear?

A good choice for a decent quality rear sight is one from Magpul. They are perhaps a little more $$ than you are looking to spend; however, the quality is good (and less cost than some of the high end sights). That said, I have a set of Troy clone sights (found on ebay) that seem to be well built. For the 500 +/- rounds fired with these sights, I have not had a single issue. If I remember correctly, I paid $65 CDN shipped to my house. Another option is to watch the EE for a good used sight for a reasonable price (be cautious on the EE, many parts cost more for used than they are new).

Is this the Magpul you mentioned?

Thanks! How it holds zero? and does it accurate as the A2 handle sight? I haven't decide which red dot to go with but figured may be replace the handle first with the MBUS so when I get the red dot I only need zero the red dot and can have them co-witness.

The sight should hold its zero; mine has perfectly. I have not read/heard about any issues with the sight not holding zero. Accuracy has not been an issue (although I use my Vortex SPARC more than the Magpul's).
