Fiber Optic Night Site opinions

[leechnilk1]

I picked up a new AK recently and I'm thinking about adding Night Sights. I want to stay away from any optics on this one but I normally use a Red Dot with my other rifles. I just want to get away from batteries with this rifle. I simply don't trust them.

The thing is, I have been training really hard for the past six months and I have a Dot on my training rifle. When I took the new AK to the range this weekend for the first time, I was MUCH slower with the irons than I had expected to be.

Does anyone have experience with the Fiber Optic sights on your rifle and did it do anything to improve your speed at getting on target? I have no experience with them at all.

Largely I'm trying to get close to what a Dot does for me without having to depend on one.

Thanks.

Paint the front sight on the Ak with a neon color all the fiber frnt sights sucks and will leave you pissed off. All I run is irons and these wont give you much of a speed increase but the will help some.

Have you considered these? I find peep sights just as quick to acquire as a red dot. Open sights are terrible, for quickness and accuracy.

This really is the best irons for an ak I had them on a saiga 308 and loved them

How so?

The front piece will always break or fall out
