i own and love the more recent one - the EP5-25x. the older SH4 is also claimed to be good, only do not throw it into the pool, it may leak in there.For only $325.50 I just had to get the SH4 6-24X50 GEN2 FFP MIL VPR Illuminated Reticle with Zero Stop - 34mm Tube, just to see what it was like. I have no idea what I’ll put it on. If it’s a piece of junk I’ll just blame @paul73.
in the rain, from what i understood, they are all ok. for the $325 i think it should be pretty good.
on a second thought i ordered one too, as i want to swap it on a .308 anyway.

other colors too
SH4 is not bad, but a consensus so far is that new EP5 is better. But, at $325…

Yup, if they were offering the EP5 at 30% off it would be a no brainer. But I don’t think there is any downside to the older SH4 for such short money. Now I just have to build something to put it on.
Are you the seller?
No but I got an email from a retailer that I was excited about.Are you the seller?
They had the same thing for $2,090.00.
I did a search and found this gun shop on Gun Broker.
Oh, I also found a fake gun website that had that upper for even less.
It was pretending to be Cabelas but added extra stuff in the URL.
I poked around the site before realizing it was on of those fake sites.
Very similar to the fake site where I tried to buy a $3,000 generator for $99 with paypal.
Tier 1 uppers ate hard to find.

Dang it! lol the original link you posted showed sold. I didn’t look further because I didn’t want to be forced to spend more money.

so, as i got a second sample and it is confirmed -will post it here. amazon has a lot of cheap atlas v8 bt10 imitations.
most suffer from inaccurate machining of shims that keep legs in place, so legs wobble. the legs themselves are also flimsier than the original $220 atlas.
still, there is one model that is more or less OK - and it goes for $35. this one below.
i got it set on 2 rifles now, shot it yesterday - the swivel lock takes some time to get used to, but, overall it worked quite well.
it also needs a swap out spikes instead of crappy feet it comes with.
Amazon product ASIN B076NGTQDKView: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076NGTQDK
there is another product there (UUQ) that looks same and sells for less price coming with the spikes - but it is crap.
on this one you will need to grease all proper spot, loctite on bolts, unscrew legs extensions and bend the wire that prevents rotation - after all the minor work done it works fine.

Being less flippant, recall that your backup needs to be robust enough to outlast your primary. If anything, one should feel free to skimp on their optic, safe in the knowledge they can fail safe to that backup.Which one? (remember, this is "backup" only)

If that is all you can afford, go with the top ones.
My real recommendation would be something metal and 45 offset. CMMG makes C2s which are nice at $200. Midwest makes a $160 kit. FAB makes a $100 set.
Magpul also makes flip ups but I'm less of a fan of anything plastic for a sight. That said I've never broken a PMAG so.....

I like the magpul steel sights

Agreed I migrated all my flip up Irons to Magpul Pro series which are metal. I’ve most recently picked up a couple sets of non flip buis from Daniel defense to try this method out. School of thought if you need your sights you don’t want to take the time to flip them up. Daniel Defense AR15 Iron Sights | Daniel Defense
They're well made and have a pretty good low profile. They even make an offset versionI wasn't aware they had steel ones

Grab a Matech rear sight. You can occasionally grab one at a pretty good price on some forums like this one or ar15.com

Magpul Pro on everything for me. Incredible sight picture. They just made polymer sights which look just as good.I wasn't aware they had steel ones
edit: if you want budget metal sights, I recommend the UTG flip sights
Isn’t it 22cal . Doesn’t state Rimfire

The AG’s enforcement notice originally just said .22 cal. They later amended it to.22 rimfire when they recognized their mistake.
They ship to u or FFL?
