I am considering just keeping "iron sights" on my M&P, but I'm not in live with the OEM ones... the front sight isn't precise enough to me. Any suggestions?

A Primary Arms Aimpoint clone. Are you looking for magnified optics or a red dot?

I could be wrong, but I believe the OP is looking for replacement Iron Sights for the 15-22's bulky, non-collapsible types....

OP, what's your budget?

I honestly was thinking of just a more accurate fixed sight...I dont know if that even exists. I have vision problems that so far, have kept me from using a reddot(focus issues) and I'm considering a sight that will work at 100 yards just fine,but its not my current concern.

Krucam, your right, I'm not sure my budget as I'm not sure whats out there.

Oh, I see. I replaced my front sight post one time with a circle and cross hairs version, it actually works very well. Cheaper Than Dirt carries them.

Is the Front Sight itself or the front sight post the problem? KNS makes a bunch of different sight posts.

Magpul MBUS sights are nice if you want an iron sight. But I'd say pick up a cheap Eo-tech or aimpoint clone, as they are quicker to use and much more tacticool.

I tried looking through one of my borhters red dots, andmy vision issues realyl left me struggling to use it right. I think it will be a real scope for the outdoor range, and iron sights indoors. little back history, was assulted about 10 years ago, told Id bnever see outta my right eye, today I do, have color vision (though it vaies shadewise betwen eyes lol) and double vision if I lay on my side. Things tha gave me no issues before make me concentrate these days. This is going to be a learning experiment.

I have the Magpul version of the MP 15-22 and love the sights. I just added a set to my 15-22P.

Works great with a red dot as wel....

You could do a point job on the fsp yourself. Just remove your fsp from the sight housing, chuck it in a drill and sharpen it down to a fine point. Works very well.

I bought an ACOG replica off eBay a couple years ago for my Colt M4 .22lr
I don't remember the sellers name but it's almost identical to the one here ...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ACOG-TRIJIC...500?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc03df084

I sighted it in when I first got it and it has held zero ever since.
Here's a 10-shot grouping I did at 30 yards about a week ago.
I really can't ask for better than that.

*edit* - I just read the description on the one I posted above.
The seller's asking twice as much as I paid for a new one and no, it's not for an "airsoft".
If you look, you can find them for under $100.

My brother was nice enough to hook me up with a few things for the holidays. I ended up with a pair of the MBUS sights, a bipod and a few other goodies. I think I will order that front sight and see how it goes, worst that happens is I have a funny peice for a keychain lol.

Sorry, I find this amusing, you have vision problems that wont let you use a red dot, and I've got problems that make it so I can't focus on iron sights well and need something with either a red dot or cross hairs.

If we set up something to co-witness, we'd be groovy.

Yes, and I really like it, very easy to get a consistent sight picture with.
