How much are they A4s? I tried finding a price on these and couldn't. Found their website though. Looks interesting. I'd say if you don't take a hard hit on the price it'd probably be worth trying one out. Although I can't say I've ever seen anyone use these or even heard of them before today.

So...do the center posts on the rear sight line up with the front pipper? I can't quite figure how you tell level with those. It looks like centering is pretty obvious.

I think the idea is to line up the front sight post with the 3 and 9 on the rear sight aperture. At least that's what I read. According to the company it's supposed to make it easier to find center.

You know I looked at it and was thinking the same thing but it was probably a cameraman who took the picture and maybe he didn't have a clue.

I have no personal experience with these sights.

I also asked everyone at work that isnt an idiot, nobody has seen these.

Looking forward to seeing how you like them if you decide to get a set.

Combating TIP training AGAIN?!

It appears the photographer is using the night rear sight aperture during the daytime...rookie mistake. :)

Still waiting on a promised call back -- it sound like you have to have a secret decoder ring and know the "special handshake" to be able to get them ... :sleep_125

Sounds like @ $150/pop.

Well I know one company that makes the best sights Ive ever seen that would call you back.

I've been using XS for a couple years on my rifles and handguns.

Paul Howe, who I consider one of the most important riflemen of my generation, just completed the CSAT Sight with XS.

I have two pair on the way for T&E, though Im sure they will be permanently attached to my intermediate distance carbine's.

I just sent a message to Paul Howe hopefully he will find a minute to explain the concept and design of the CSAT. If not I will share what little I know.
