Lyman 90 MJT rear sight?

[mao0720]

How is this for a basic match rifle rear sight? Looks like I can get one for about $90. Im just looking for a rear sight to get me into midrange prone shooting and Im not looking to break the bank. I would be using it on a 6mmAR with a lipski rear sight base.

Greetings,
Save your $$$ and get a used RPA, Phoenix, PNW or a Redfield. The Lymans were economy sights for small bore rifles. Might work for a dedicated 100/200 yd range where you are not cranking on the knobs much...
Good luck,
John

Speaking of Redfields, which one is better, the Palma or the Olympic rear sight?

Forget the redfield, most are old and worn out and have serious backlash. Yes I know they can be fixed but unless you have a machine shop, you could have bought a new phoenix for the same money. Unless you can verify it with a dial indicator and it tracks, forget redfield.
Used RPA, Phoenix Precision, or centra for a Prone gun on a budget.
