Click to expand.The SIG diopter is adequate for what it is. It is not, in my view, unreliable (which is what the original poster thinks it may be). While it is true that it is not the best option either, there were some issues with Aurora's QC as well. Recent purchasers may chime in to comment on that. Also, the fact that the website shows a drawing of the rear sight instead of a picture does not give me a warm and fuzzy.
While I prefer the AR15 type sights, due to familiarity if nothing else, I have nothing against the SIG diopter sight and in fact purchased a 556 with a diopter on. My only gripe was that the rifle shot way to low at 100 even with the drum set to 300, and unfortunately I ran out of elevation to correct the issue. While I have no qualms adjusting front posts, I'm a little uneasy to fix the SIG hooded front sight, since the post is not replaceable and is beveled: by taking metal off the top, you end up with a wider top. The hood also makes working on it more complicated. So, once I've calculated how much metal to remove, I will take this one to my smith for action. The hood and diopter currently sit on my daughter's 522, though I wonder whether it may not make more sense to put the Samson FS and LMT rear on that.
Filing the front Well, elnonio, I have filed the front down using the barrel as a center for the target which put me on the paper. Ullie once told me that, ofcourse he said to not file any more. I also agree with him there. I have not had the chance to shoot it yet with any of the sights on. I had also ordered the front as a take-off from a fellow on this site. I had bought the ER version of the 556 (no longer available from Sig) and it had the wide flip-up post on front and the 'lollipop' flip-up on th rear.
Rather poor sights. I DO like the Sig diopter. But with all the complaints from guys on the site about the quality of it, I began to worry.
Hence, this thread from this PO. I need to take the 556 out and see where I am hitting ASAP. John Scull:lol::lol::lol.

This is not meant to be a guesstimate game, which in the case of the hooded sight could be a costly experiment! In short, you first want to get your rear sight at mechanical zero, or a little below to allow for more up elevation than down elevation. Carefully shooting the best group you can at, say, 50 yards, the formula is (all in inches): (sight radius x distance from point of aim)/distance to target So, with a sight radius of (say) 17.5 inches and a group that is 15 inches low at 1800 inches (50 yds) the amount to remove would be 0.146 inches.
As you can see, a little goes a long way, and it would be all to easy to over do it! Click to expand.Ullie, Mine was the same way right out of the box.
8' low at 100yards through the 100M aperture; 6' low at 100yards through the 300M aperture. The Sig supplied front/hooded sight on my SWAT model was WAY too tall for the rear dipoter to be able to give a 100y zero. I returned the rifle to Sig and the blade on the front sight fix is literally close to 1/2 the height of what my rifle originally came with (I would 'guestimate' the new front blade is about 3/16' shorter than the original blade; I wish I would have measured the original before sending it out.:x ).

Click to expand.Since I was initially ridiculed for stating that the front sight post could/should be filed to the correct size (as opposed to there being an issue with the rifle, aside from the front sight height, that warranted return to SIG), I guess I'm not surprised that the SIG fix to the issue was to return the rifle with a shortened front sight. For those new to the thread, the correct amount to remove when the sights run out of adjustment is: sight radiusx(POA-POI)/distance all in inches, after the elevation adjustment has been reset to allow for more future up elevation.
