Six months ago I bought a Sig Diopter with a discount program they offered. It wiggled and wobbled and fell off the rail no matter how hard I tightened the mounting bolt. I returned it.

Six weeks later they sent a replacement. It's a wee bit tighter, but it slides back and forth on the rail. Seriously WTF. is this normal?

I'm trying to contact them to see if I can get a cash return.

Can somebody suggest a good replacement Diopter? I'm done with Sig crap accessories.

...i suggest an Aurora front and rear diopter...the Aurora diopter set is almost virtually identical to the origional Swiss set...at less than 1/2 the price...great sights ...

Is it the rifle's rail? My first 556 rifle's rail was off-sized enough to where two of my known good/in-spec detachable scope mounts would slide back and forth on it.

The problem with the Aurora sights is you simply can't get them anymore.

Rail problem?

I would measure the width of your rail and compare it to a new 556 at a gun shop and see if there is any difference. my factory diopter fits nice and snug. I don't have any issues with that. I haven't heard of too many issues like yours. Good luck. John

My Patrol Swat came with the diopter and I haven't had any problems. Seems to be well made. I put a cheap (but nice) 40mm red dot on mine and took it off. Still have the emergency one in case the red dot breaks. I actually kind of like the emergency sight... but it's definitely not robust.

This really sucks, SIG replaced my rail since the last one popped off. It would suck if I have to send it back because they put a too narrow rail on my rifle. I'm guessing this might be it since two diopters don't fit.
