GEARSCOUT NAMES TROY BATTLESIGHTS
"OPERATOR'S CHOICE"
GEARSCOUT, The Military Times' blog about gear and equipment for soldiers, has declared Troy Industries' BattleSights their "Operators Choice" for back up iron sights (BUIS):
GearScout: “If your primary sight uses batteries, eventually it will have an electrical problem. I hope that when it happens, it’s not when you’re fighting for your life. But if it is, BUIs and training will hopefully allow you to prevail.”
Operator Favorite: Troy Folding BattleSight set ($250)
Troy was widely chosen as the backup iron sights of choice. They stay closed until needed and flip up easily with no controls. Folding requires a hefty button press so they won’t fold until you want them to. Once they are open, it’s going to take a 1000 lb accident to shear the cross bolt holding the sight up.
