So who actually has a REG rear sight?

[logandiana]

I have seen a few pictures and it does look nice, but I really can't find any information anywhere. I searched the forums, but can't find any feedback.
Does anyone actually have this sight that can provide an honest opinion on them? Fit an finish, repeatability? How does it compare to the Centra LR or the Phoenix Precision? Is it worth the money, or should I hold out for a used Phoenix to show up?

I recently saw some discussion on facebook about them. I think it was in a national match forum of some sorts. I'll look and see how to post a link to it.

I asked a friend who, having shot on the palma team a couple times, has pretty extensive knowledge on sights, etc about them. He basically told me that they are not repeatable and its probably best to avoid them.
I have both centra and Phoenix sights and they both work well. I think champions choice or creedmoor sports have the LR centra for about $450.

Thank you Twdmar, this is the kind of feedback I'm looking for.

I have had a couple of the REG sights and still have two PNW's but i prefer my Warner sights #1 and #2 just because I know Al but i do not know the others. I think the REG was the first one and Warner came after and was able to put out a larger number to support the shooters. I'd like to know more about the maker and would consider writing an article if i could get enough solid info.

REG was first made by Ron Geddish. I believe he died. The sights were dormant for a short period. A fellow took it over that operated with a hardware company name. I bought a coupled for a junior team from him.
Who is currently making them?

The machining was interesting. The anodizing was removed by the finishing procedure to allow the rods to slide.

That was one of the factors that got me started with the Centra organization.

I beleive OK Weber still has some RPA rear sights in stock as well as adjustable front.
They came from Army Sniper rifles as back-up sights and so had very little wear. I purchased several and they are spotless. Comes with a mounting base.
Worth a phone call.

I have a Centra that i purchased from Mark Trew it is a excellent sight and has a great price point.

Mark any 22mm front sight lens yet?
