bpipe95 8 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Anyone install a set of XS sights? I just put two sets on tonight. 1 set of big dots for the S12 and 1 set of standard dots for the .223. I gotta say these things rock. Sight picture is faster and way more exact. Not to mention they have tritium in them. IMO this set up is by far the best I have found for the platform. Can be seen here at the bottom. http://www.xssights.com/index.php?nID=sights&cID=Sights&pID=sights&sID=tactical So anyone else put a set on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erwos 12 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I've heard good things about them, too... but they're pricey. HK sights aren't cheap to begin with, and the XS sights only drive up the cost more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
getitat 609 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hello I've spent a lot of $$$ fiddle-farting around with various rail/sight arrangements, including AR-style BUIS cowitness w/ EoTech, etc. and after all that bullshitting around, I've landed at the XS system as the ultimate sighting system for my S-12's. Lightweight, fast, nimble, all the good shit, none of the bad shit. And, pretty damn cheap in comparison to the failed "experimental" stuff I've tried. The only conceivable upgrade might be a TWS dogleg for the S12 when they come out, so the HK/XS rear can be mounted "unfixed" on a hinged dustcover. JMHO.... -guido Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bpipe95 8 Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Good to hear! You can get the sights for a decent price if you search around. If one of the main siaga parts retailers would put togeather a pkg it would lower the price a bunch. all you would need is the following. Siaga shotgun or rifle modified G3 sight Rear base XS sight kit No need for the rear drum at all. I can not wait to get my s12 bolt back from Pauly and getting some range time.

erwos 12 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Good to hear! You can get the sights for a decent price if you search around. As long as we're defining $200+ as a decent price? The XS sights alone are $120 pretty much everywhere I've looked. Once you hit $250, you might be better off with Troy Micros.. Edited June 7, 2011 by erwos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bpipe95 8 Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) My XS sets were $80 for each. That leave the saiga specific G3 front site, ~$50 and a G3 rear base that you can grind yourself. The ones I have gotten that were modded for the siaga looked like they were done a 5 year old with a bench grinder. should be under $150 ish for the "set". The added benefit here is that you don't have to add a ton of unneeded weight with a tacticool rail system. Light and functional >* Edited June 7, 2011 by bpipe95 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bpipe95 8 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I did get both of my sets from CSS, one for the rifle that has a narrow base in order to fit the gas block, and one standard one cut down for the s12's gas block. I will be traveling for business over the next two days but I will get a pic up when I return. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fromxtor 20 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Would these work with a Chaos rail? http://www.robertrtg.com/416sights.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bpipe95 8 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Not sure, I do not run any aftermarket rails (on my siagas) as I find that they add weight but have no real benefit for me. Though the Chaos stuff does look nice, maybe you should get in touch with the manf. and see what they say. Edited June 8, 2011 by bpipe95 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

evergreenkid29 14 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Would these work with a Chaos rail? http://www.robertrtg.com/416sights.html Its funny you posted these I ordered two sets last night one for my chaos rail, and a set for my saiga rifle, But After I paid for them on that site I found them on another site for $30.00 but they where sold out.whats nice is you can order them without the rear site and you'll just get the rear base and complete front in case you already have the site.
