Should I Run 45-Degree Sights on My AR?

I use a couple of my own interpretations of 45-degree offset iron sights on ARs that have LVPO or other scope types.

Tried the the MRDS approach but didn't like the extra bulk. Strike Industries make great products.

To me the ones who do this need to know how to shoot or they just can't decide and throw it all on! MBUIS don't require batteries or any power supply and an optic can fail. Go for it!

I'm not into 45 degree sights. I fully understand the concept, but I think it's mostly for looks. It's hard to shoulder the weapon properly when you got the gun sideways. All mine except one are set up with a dot and co-witness BUIS. The odd man out is scoped with nothing else. Because it's a range rifle.
 
New reply to an old thread.... but I'm checking zero on OG #1, the (my) heavy barrel AR-15; super heavy, like 1.5" diameter until it gets to the .75" for the gas block heavy.

I don't use it for anything other than long range plinking. The optic I have on precludes a traditional BUIS flip-up set-up. My paranoia about having a backup set of sights dictates that I have to have BUIS on all (personal) AR platform rifles (and anything else with a lot of railestate). So I have 45 degree off-set iron sights.

I would like to know if the 45 degree cant causes any deviation at range or if it flies in the same exact ballistic arc it would if vertical?:unsure:
