Best Scope for AR15

russaa said:
Anywhere from 20 yards to 50 yards most likely at the range. And yes, I can use a different color target but it is just odd that in any "bad" conditions it would be difficult to quickly see the sight so thought I would ask for suggestions. My AR on the Saint has the Triangular front sight, not sure that helps or makes a difference. Thanks.

Black sights have been used in real combat for, literally, since firearms with sights were introduced.

They work.

Depending on the brand of the site, your choices are limited on fo and tritium. I say this as adjustments can be different. Do you know the brand or post a pic of it here. Thanks

Thanks for the comments. It is the standard post and front sight on the Saint AR15. Per some other posts it does look like I can replace just the center front post with either FiberOptic or Tritium and the ones that I found and others sent me are from Brownells, here is a link, thoughts?

There isn't much anything standard on a saint as items change such as the sites, chargehandle, grip and stocks for starters. Just letting you know. From being on here and finding members that gave the exact same ar, but some of the features are different. Reason for me being more inquisitive.
 
This works for me, etched reticle is visible if battery dies. Do not even see front site when looking through LVPO.
Faux suppressor makes 16" barrel look like 10.5". Great fun for plinkin'. Suppose it would be adequate in a bad situation if called upon.

I've used that front site post on some of my A2 guns and it gives you a nice refence point with the white stripe.

M-16s/M4s/ARs with the A2 FSB have been used my the military and civis for decades and while retro it still gets the job done.

I have a Saint AR15 and wondering about the front sight.
When using a dark/black target with a red bull it is hard to see the front sight without moving out of the target because the front sight is black. My handguns have some type of white/florescent on the front sight and easy to see against a dark target.

Thoughts on fixing this?
Get a new front sight?
Put white nail polish on front sight?
Get a Green Dot scope?

Any good ideas?

Thanks

I use LVPO optics on my 14.5" or longer AR's. RDS on those shorter. Works for me.
