Reviews & Ratings for Leapers UTG Detachable Compact Rear Sight — 13 reviews — Page 1

I ordered this sight to work in conjunction with my std A@ front sight and Holosun red Dot...the Co witness is fine and the sight itself is very nice. The construction seems sturdy, the adjustments are firm the overall finish is good! Some individuals have mentioned that they do not like the UTG branding on the sight. I can understand that, but if it said Noveski would it look any better or just give you bragging rights! Time to take a hard look in the mirror! I also do not like the branding on this piece, though it is low key, any more than i want it on other pieces. If you think about it, and you change several pieces on your firearm, after a while it would like a billboard with all the different brands showing! Not good IMHO. So, I took a small amount of alcohol, rubbed a bit, and the white paint of the brand disappeared and then touched it up with Alum Blk...gone. Problem solved. However, I have not fired the firearm with the sight so I can not talk to the accuracy of adjusments etc. however, first impressions are good. it appears to be a solid well made sight and hard to beat for the money

I'm very impressed, It looks to be of decent quality. it went on the AR flattop rail with no problem. Locked up snug. I can't wait to test it out at the range. The only negative about this product is I wish UTG would have put their logo on the bottom of the sight instead of the side.

Nice fixed sight for the money. Bought it because i wanted to learn how to use a traditional fixed rear sight. Not the best anodizing/finishing on the outside, but I don't think it will be an issue. Don't forget to loctite it to the rail so it stays on. Works as advertised. Why spend $100 on a fancy rear sight that will give you the same result? Quick shipping from Optics Planet, as usual.

Fits nice and tight on my ballistic advantage upper receiver. Clean and tight clicks with elevation and windage adjustmemts. Very sturdy. Tough. Not small, but no problem for me as i am using this as my primary sight along with standard a2 front sight. Works great.

This rear sight is perfect. Is sturdier than I anticipated considering the price point. I am very pleased with this product and purchasing from OP, is easy. Sight looks good on my rifle and is easy to use. Can’t go wrong with this price.

I chose these over the M4 flip up type. Knowing my clumsy self, I'd break up the popup peep sight. So I decided to go with these as they were hardier.

I had to do a little disassembly on both of them and get them oiled. They cranked hard out of the box. Little lube and it's all good. I also applied paint to these (Testors Gloss Red) for everything but the windage gauge near the flip sight, the 0-2 marker, and the R and arrow on the windage knob (those were Testors White). It looks pretty slick. I did it for a first time shooter so they would get to know the sight, and sometimes black on black on black is hard to read.

It's assembled just like every other A2 rear sight, ever. Little lube and all is right with the world.

For the price paid I am not sure you could get a better sight. Installed on my rifle and it was pretty well sighted out of the box. Part received was actually a UTG match sight. screws are a little tight at first but with a little use and a drop of gun oil it seems to be smooth and consistent.

Great Price, Great fit, Great Finish. This sight is very nice! Mounted right up and can't wait to shoot it. All tolerances seem fine and will sight in using these procedures:

No reason to be negative on this Leapers rear sight.
Pros: Price, Fit, Finish
Cons: None

The installation of the sight on the AR picatinny rail went fine. The up and down adjuster was very stiff and stuck on initial use.
Pros: fit well on the AR picatinny rail and workmanship was excellent
Cons: none at this time

Great rear sight for the price. Easily installed and well engineered. Large thumb screw for easy installation. Windage adjustment is large and easy to use.
