Personally, I dislike the Anschutz 7020 sights. They are big, bulky, and extend way too far in total length for my liking.
From a mechanical standpoint, I think they are inferior to other sights. The few times I have set up my Anschutz 7020 sights in a mill vice with a dial indicator I have noticed an inconsistency in the amount it moves the sight with every other click. Not to mention that after 4 years of use I found a dead spot in my windage that lasted 26 clicks! It also kind of bothers me that Anschutz chose to use some kind of plastic threaded bushings in their sights instead of metallic bushings. I believe the bushings in my Anschutz 7020 sights need to be replaced and I have heard of numerous other people having to do the same thing. The general design of the sight adjustments is also way more complicated then it should be.
Recently, I purchased a centra long range sight and I have been very pleased with it. It is built extremely well without the faults I find in the Anschutz sights. I was also very impressed with the consistency of the clicks and ability to return to zero when I checked it out with the dial indicator.
