Sight Advice Needed

[Winyah]

I have a sig400 carbine and Im thinking of buying a Burris Fastfire III, but the question is...  Will I have to remove the front sight base on my AR?

you would probably need a riser...so you can co-witness the 2 sights.... that RDS is super tiny though... i've seen the likes on top of glocks...

 

but no you would not need to get rid of your front sight... what if your RDS goes out? then you would have iron sights as back up... ever been EMP'ed ?

Wow thanks.  I didn't realize it would be so small but now I see.  No pun intended.  I's like to keep the price under $300 if possible.  Do you have a recommendation for that "style" of sight that would be appropriate and co-witness?  I want to be ready for the giant solar flares  :eek:

maybe check out primary arms... i got a deal on a trijicon rx30 this past year for 400... i went with that cause no batteris  to worry about... you can search for an aim point also...used... they're like tanks and battery life is super long... just don't go cheap on your rifle... i use to be cheap with utg and the no name stuff... but i realized i have a nice rifle and it deserves a nice optic... you get what u pay for ... also u can look at eotechs for a lil over 300 you would like that ...
