Nice! I've got one on mine (the old style with the big knob) and have been very happy with it.

I had a pair of their older flip types on an Oracle a few years ago. I found them to be excellent and well made. And heavy.

I don’t have one but it does look better then the ones that have the large knob on the side. Or the ones made by cutting off the front of a carry handle..
I may have to pick one up for a spare.

I just recieved mine. Fits on top of my new PSA Freedom Rifle just fine.
So now... can you all school me up a bit in the proper use of the range/ elevation adjustment please? I am unfamiliar with this style sight.
This rifle has the standard adjustable front post (A2 sight tower?? Is that correct?)

Elevation adjustments for zero are made with the front sight, windage adjustments are made with the rear sight.

The US Army Method:
- Method of use originally conceived for 14.5″ M4 barrel carbines, but adaptation for other barrel lengths is addressed.
- Zeroed with the small aperture, at 25 meters, with the 6/3 setting, for a 25/300 meter zero.
- The sights are calibrated for the 300, 400, 500, and 600 meter settings with their respective distances.
- Use the 6/3 setting with the 25/300 meter trajectory as BZ.
- Flip from the small aperture to the large “0-200” aperture for a 200 meter zero. Use the large aperture for “close range” and “low light” shooting.
- More details about this method, as well as procedures for adapting this method for 20″ barrel rifles and 16″ barrel carbines are described further down the page.

You likely have the F-marked fsb if your PSA is a flat top. This is decent. https://azrifleman.com/basic-rifle-marksmanship-brm-series-how-to-zero-your-ar15/

Very good info. Thank you. However, I'm still a little confused.. I understand the intended system of range adjustment.
The biggest question I'm left with is "What about 50/100 yards?" ; Because those are my two choices at my rifle range. I could also start out at 25 yards indoor.
