Re-thinking Offset Iron Sights – ZeroBravo REOS
Ben GrandBlanc of AR15News.com has his hands on the first versions of the REOS (Rapid Engagement Offset Sight) from Zero Bravo. Not yet released, these sights mount to your optic and are an extremely low profile alternative to common 45-degree canted sights. The REOS has a lower profile the many adjustment turrets.
The REOS is extremely simple using only two circles. This limits long-range practicality, but that is what the primary optic is for. The REOS system is not adjustable outside of rotation on the optic. No pricing or or other release information is available at this time.

I honestly can't see how these are better than other 45 degree sights that attach to the rail.
Seems like a solution looking for a problem.
Looks like it would be NEARLY as good as running 2 sets of rear irons on your
top rail... Except that these are not adjustable, off axis and attached the
the very same optic that they are supposed to be a "back up" for.
That's like keeping your spare set of keys on your regular key chain "just in case."
Let me know when this crack design team comes out with magazine mounted
rifle slings or a rear facing weapon light that illuminates the shooter.
