I'm going to be interested to see these. There's a 3 gun shooter gal selling a number of her rifles (along with one of her1911's I'd love to buy). One of those rifles she's selling has apparently a prototype set of these sights on it. The rifle I won in the Gunstruction competition will eventually arrive and I designed it with the Surefire offset sights. I'm going to be quite interested to test them out and work with getting used to them.

I have an idea for a new stock that could be quite useful with offset sights.

The price is higher on those than I expected, maybe the street price will be lower. But then again it doesn't matter for me since I don't use offset sights.

I don't either. I've often thought off set sights are just a niche market for 3 gunners.

If I did, I'd need a LH version.

I don't see the point of flip up offset sights. Fixed offset setups are already out of the way.
