breid1970 327 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I know this has been hashed and rehashed but Friday Im finally ordering one or the other. I like the Tech 200s serries. It is the one that is windage and elevation adjustable. The krebs seems like a good choice as well. It should be noted that I dont mind the extra step in field stripping the Tech style. Practice would make perfect. What are your thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 there are people who have made the tech sight rear more easily field strippable. Anyone know someone going by the handle Dr Thunder? Via DrThunder88 on youtube... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Practice would make perfect. What are your thoughts? I have the Tech Sights on one of my rifles, and it is more than just an extra step, it is a pain in the ass. You have to hold and move everything just right, or the plungers pop back into the holes as you are trying to remove the cover. I'm eventually going to put a TWS rail with their peep on that rifle and sell the TS. The TS was a step forward at the time they were introduced, but I think they have been eclipsed in terms of options for increasing your sight radius. The ability to adjust at the rear sight is nice, but IMO doesn't outweigh the PITA factor of getting the cover off and on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Is it really that bad? I mean I proably only take my cover off 5 times a year unless I shoot it a lot. I don't clean my guns unless I shoot them atleast a few hundred times. And I was thinking about getting the tech sight, is it that bad? I don't mind a pain in the ass as I don't clean my guns like some people do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 thats what i was thinking Monty. The Krebs is nice, dont get me wrong, but its just a peep site. The tech sites increase the sight distance as well as come with elevation and windage adjustment. I may have just sold my self. They are only 120 bucks vs the TS rail. I dont recall how much they run. i wish they had a good video of the removal process of the tech sites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yeah I really like the tech sights and I think it will be worth it myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 That or the Parabellum Armament AKARS system. Bout the same price as the Tech sights. But I think my mind is made up on this matter.. Those tech sights are pretty sweet. Check out the AKARS and let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

netpackrat 566 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 One other thing about the dust cover on the Tech Sights, is that it's a pretty poor design even ignoring the retention plungers. It's got a protrusion at the rear of the ejection port that seems like it is designed to chew up your hand when you work the charging handle. That probably bothers me more than the plungers and field stripping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrThunder88 912 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 That's true too. I don't know why it was put on there, but I removed the one on mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Low 2 13 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 The newer Techsights covers have eliminated the safety lever stop. I am using Dr Thunders cover removal mod, and I see no downsides to using Techsights. I love mine.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Its a shame you cant use it in conjunction with the AKARS system. Now that in my humble opinion would be awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
