I would like to know whether this optic front sight can be used in a Titan GP Nitro Piston rifle, as well to know what is the rear sight should use?

No, the front sight is very large too. Action pistol shooting is focusing on the front sight, target down range is supposed to be out of focus. I personally like large sights, as it helps me acqiure targets faster. My groups are tight, I use the trijicon night sights on all my xd platform guns and my overall accuracy has improved. Be advised many gunsmiths and armourers do not like installing sights on xds. They are very difficult to replace and all my original stock sights were destroyed during the removal of stock sights and installing the trijicon sights.

This is an amazing red dot that performs well when paired with the .233 cartridge. However the question is how high do you want your optic. I have this model (with the cantilever mount) and the centerline ( middle of the lens) is 1 7/8 of an inch above a flat top AR. Depending on what stock you use. Personally since the optic and boreline will be closer I would go with the Strikefire 505 for your Ruger.

it sets ptetty low. it actually sets a little lower than an L-3 EOTech on one of my other guns. when I 1st mounted this unit I'm pretty sure I set the sight by putting the dot on top of the front sight and I was pretty close to right. I have since changed out the gas block on that rifle, so I can't go check it. but yes your front sight is visable thru the lense. rear sight no. if you was a set of functional iron sights to use with this as. a back uo, you will have to go with a set of off set aux. irons. but the Mepolight has a quick disconnect mount, comes off with two flicks of the thumb.

I have a standard front sight but I replaced the post with a tritium filled one from meprolight. Just make sure whichever one you pick that it is adjustable for elevation as this rear sight only adjusts for windage and distance.

I think he answered your question. The back piece (magnifier) flips over to the side allowing you to use your iron sights through the front eotech circle/dot. Just a pice of my .02cents I Love this combo! Though I have heard great things about the vortex magnifier and may give it a shot. It's over 200 less :/ good luck!

The front sight is a very, very hard material... but not metal. It holds an orange site-piece very firmly in three points. The rear sight is metal and is completely adjustable for windage and range. Well, no... looking at it again it seems to be partially the same tough plastic the front sight is made of, only with two green points instead of orange. (I feel I should know the terminology for these things.) I can't tell you how good they work because my rifle came with a scope that is dead-nuts accurate. No rabbit has escaped this rifle yet.

Look at the Benjamin Titan NP. Been thru 2 factory scope with my Silent Stalker .22 and finally had to purchase an after market scope to make this work. The Titan is cheaper and has a better customer rating. Wish I would have done this myself. Just my 2 cents!

The supplied mounts work well, as long as your gun is listed. I have the front site on a HK P-30L and love it. the supplied bases will raise the center of the red dot above the front site correct height so you would not use the front site unless the DeltaPooint sight failed, and Leupold DeltaPoints just don't fail. I have had mine for 2 + years now and have had no issues. I also have one on a 1911 in 38 Super.

I highly recommend the orange front sight post. I have multiple sets all in orange and it really Jumps out at you when you are looking for fast acquisition. As to the other question point of aim is point of impact. It's is a large front sight post so your basically putting the center of the post where you want to hit.

No harm in trying it with the front sight post - if you crank it up to 4x (or slightly less?), you shouldn't see the front sight post. I don't know at what lower power the post will appear (as anything other than a blurb), but I'd think you could adjust it @ 1x etc. (where you'll be using it as a red dot) to rest just over the front sight? Mine currently resides on a 22AR, which happens to be the first AR type rifle I've had without a fixed front sight post. I have an ACOG (4x) and the front sight post doesn't bother me a bit looking through it - the front sight post is almost translucent when looking thru the scope - I'd actually have to look for it in order to know it's there @ 4x.

Check the www.shopruger.com website for applicability. That said, I don't like the Big Dot front sight on my SR9C. I'm waiting for Tru-Glo's fiber-optic/tritium combo sights --- supposed to be out in Summer. A buddy has them on his Springfield XD and they're exceptional, easy to use, incredibly visible day & night, and line up quickly. The Big Dot is actually distracting and harder to position.

I couldn't honestly tell you if it will clear a "triangle gas block" cause all I can think of as a triangle gas block is the front sight and gas block in one. If that's what you have I again couldn't speak to the compatibility of this scope mount with a actual front sight seeing as I have a flat top. I would how ever recommend a 45 degree off set scope mount if you have a front sight, and add a rear sight and your red-eye to engage down range as most any distance. If I hadn't gotten the flat top that would have been my set up of choice. Happy trails and may your bullets always go bang.

The sight will 1/3 co-witness with the irons depending on what sights you are using. I am currently using gen 2 magpul Mbps sights. The emitter in the sight is located at 5 o'clock and partially blocks the front sight so that you can see the FS post and the left blade. Personally I would buy the sight w/o the hi rise block and invest in a better mount. Daniel Defense makes a absolute co-witness riser that runs around $60 on amazon. Good luck

I used this one. So far it's worked great on all my Glocks and M&P's. http://www.sightpusher.com You'll also need a front sight tool. Amazon has them.

I would get the Diamondhead front sight hi base gas block for using on the gas block rail. I it is made for the gas block rail.
