The XS Sights XTI2 45-degree offset iron sights (XS Sights part no. AR00081N) give an AR-15 a close-quarters backup for a magnified optic. The set mounts in front of the optic on the top rail, and the 45-degree offset lets you roll the rifle and use the iron sights without changing magnification. XS Sights fits the front post with an orange Ember glow dot that charges from ambient light and shows in shadows. The sights are non-tritium, so there is no vial and no battery involved. This second-generation set is aimed at 3-gun shooters and anyone who wants a fast backup for a variable optic.

Key Specifications

• The mount is a bolt-on top rail installation that fits optic-ready AR-15 rifles.
• The sights sit at a 45-degree offset, so you can transition from a magnified optic without adjusting magnification.
• The front sight is 0.140 inch wide with an orange Ember glow dot for high contrast in bright light.
• The Ember dot is photoluminescent, absorbing ambient light and glowing in shadows and low light.
• The sight picture is the express style, a straight-line picture made for fast acquisition at close range.
• Illumination is non-tritium, so the dot depends on stored light instead of a vial.
• The complete set weighs 2.02 ounces, which adds little to the rifle.
• The bases are 6061-T6 aluminum, which keeps rifle weight down.
• The sights themselves are CNC-machined steel, made for durable use.
• The rear sight is windage adjustable, and both sights rotate for a left-handed shooter, so the set is fully ambidextrous.
