Pros, It will show you a really great sight picture.
It has great glass
It is legal in NRA com.

Cons, It is $375 or so.
It can sail in the wind, but it is not so bad if you take the sun shades
off.
It is not legal in International SB.

I have on and love it but I came from a 18mm sight and have not gotten a 22mm one to test against. I made my own mount to get it as low and light as possible. even though it does not weigh that much. I have been told if you get the right glass in the 22mm sight it call be very good and might me my next move.

Will need a higher position for the rear sight due to the larger tube diameter even with a lower front sight mount.

For me, the larger tube also fills up too much of the rear sight picture such that I get too little or no light around the front sight tube.

Can be ordered with a front aperture that has a wide diameter setting so can be used with magnification AND a front sight extension comfortably.

I use it on my 2007/500mm, attached to a Uptagrafft 12" tuner/tube=sight radius 37". My old eyes like the .5 diopter lens with the 2.9-4.9 iris for 100 yd. Mini Palma. I use a Warner in the rear w/Gehmann 510(.5-3.0) I also use a Knoblock shooting glass with .25 or .50 depending on the daylight. My setup has the Warner on .750 riser, you can order the RightSight w/ 3 "stem" heights, the middle one works for me. Wayne at RightSight suggested the clamp on "Jumbo Base" mount (clamps to tube) and I'm very pleased.

Emil Praslik credits the Rightsight, among other things, with helping his team turn in several 797 aggs in Highpower and also a team match record.
