The pros and cons of the white ring sight has had more discussion than probably any other topic on this forum and I am not going to hash that out now other than to say I am not completly sastified with it. Ever since I saw Tomac's post on the Tros Aimpoint mount I knew that was the way I wanted to go. I went to the local gun show lately but could not find a Aimpoint. Did find as guy trying to sell the Aimpoint clone for $285 that I've heard others buy on Ebay for $50. Since I could'nt find a sight I was forced to buy another gun. Got a Ruger new model mini 14 target. I know it's not a "black rifle" but it was purty. Sorry got of topic.
I did get a inexpensive sight made by AIM Sport. This sight is made just like the Burris XTS-135, Spot MKIII and the Tasco propoint. These sights are different than the Aimpoint but are similar in design and I was currious how they would fit in the Tros mount. It fits purfect. The sight is at the right height for me and this is a very solid mount. I will admit that the quality of the Aimpoint are the best but they do have a high price. The style of sight I got shows that you have other options with this mount. As far as the quality of these other sights they rate like this,
#1 Burris XTS-135 w/3 moa dot.
#2 Spot MKIII w/3 or 6 moa dot.
#3 Tasco Propoint w/5 moa dot.
#4 AIM sport w/4 moa dot.
I do like my AIM sport cause it comes with a magnifier that screws onto the front(kinda cool). This post was just to show you that there are less expensive options for us thrifty(cheap) people out there.
