The XS Sights XTI2 DXS offset sight set for AR-15 rifles is a dedicated close-quarters backup sighting system designed to work alongside your primary magnified optic. Unlike traditional fixed backup sights that sit co-witnessed with a scope, the XTI2 mounts in front of your magnified optic and gives you a fast, unmagnified aiming solution when you need a rapid sight picture at pistol distances or during dynamic shooting where a scope becomes a liability. The combination of taller bases and an increased base angle accommodates modern wide-lens optics without sacrificing your cheek weld, letting you transition between your primary and secondary sights fluidly.
What makes the XTI2 stand out for 3-gun competitors and tactical shooters is the Ember Glow orange dot—a high-contrast front sight element that charges from UV rays and glows in low-light conditions. The straight-line express sight picture cuts down target engagement time and works equally well in bright sunlight and shadowed spaces like vehicle stages. The 0.140" wide front sight is sized for fast acquisition without excessive bulk, and the no-fuss express design eliminates the need to dial magnification on your primary optic when threats close in.
Installation is straightforward: the rear sight comes pre-mounted and unfastened for windage adjustment, and XS includes an adjustment tool and thread locker (apply it after zeroing). This aluminum sight set strikes the balance between durable backup capability and the lightweight simplicity that working shooters demand on the clock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will XTI2 sights fit under my magnified scope?
No—the XTI2 is an offset backup sight designed to mount in front of your primary optic on the rail, not underneath it. This keeps the sights clear of your scope and lets you transition between magnified and unmagnified sighting without obstruction.
Do these sights glow in all lighting conditions?
The Ember Glow orange dot is UV-charged by sunlight and glows in low-light environments like shadows or vehicle interiors. In full daylight, it provides high-contrast orange visibility without active illumination.
What's included in the box?
Each XTI2 sight set includes a front sight adjustment tool and thread locker. The rear sight comes pre-mounted but not sealed, allowing you to adjust windage easily. Apply thread locker after you've zeroed your rifle.
Are these sights good for 3-gun competition?
Yes—the XTI2 is purpose-built for 3-gun shooting. The rapid sight picture, close-quarters accuracy, and low-light glow dot work across the varied distances, lighting, and shooting positions typical of 3-gun stages, including vehicle and tight-space scenarios.
