If anything near as good as the system for the 10-22 then they are great.

When one can get a LaRue iron dot for $160 more or a normal mojo peep sight for just $60 I really don't see the point of this.

I'm pretty sure you need to remove the rear sight blade or it can interfere with the sight picture. That is supposed to be easy but I never could get the leaf out of mine (to install a Williams peep).

Re: Tech Sights AK Sights
I'll be removing the original rear sight either way. I also ordered one of their target front posts; dunno if that will be any better, but the existing one on the rifle this is going on is slightly tweaked anyway. I'll probably slip the Tech Sight onto my .308 Saiga briefly, to see if it interferes with the 8X POSP scope, but the S308 will keep its Mojo sights since they are only for backup.

Is AK. Is shoot.
Personally, I've yet to find an AK more accurate than stock-sights with my eyes at ranges that matter.
Won't tell anyone what to do with their gun, but personally I just don't see the point when the gun will be less-accurate than the sights.
$0.02/ymmv/etc.

Re: Tech Sights AK Sights
There are plenty of .308 Saigas around that will shoot into less than 2 MOA with good ammo. For that matter, AKs in 5.45x39 are known for being pretty accurate as well. We'll see how my romy does with decent ammo and the better sights.
