“iron sights”

Many firearm enthusiasts wisely opt to include backup iron sights on their AR builds, but how many actually take the time to zero them? With magnified optics and red dots considered required equipment, are users neglecting to dial-in their irons?

Meopta has introduced its new MeoRed, a compact reflex sight. The MeoRed features a lower profile than the company's MeoSight III and allows users to co-witness with most iron sights.

A variation of the Ruger Standard, the Mark IV Hunter features stainless metalwork with a handsome, brushed satin finish, and a 7-inch bull barrel with six flutes. It's fitted with iron sights, but it's drilled and tapped for optics.

The evolution of sighting aids dates back to the first crude, iron sights on the matchlock firearms of the 16th century, and has morphed into the high-tech telescopic sights we all love. Laser sights—such as those produced by Crimson Trace—are an amazing tool.
