Currently have a 2-7x scope on my rifle which is nice for the new SS barrel i put on with a free float tube.  however im not near as comfortable with the rifle in a CQB situation and the scope and the hefty burris xtr rings addd quite a bit of weight.  I definitely need some BUIS and i was thinking of just getting the Troy fixed iron sight set for $95. If i need the iron sights i still need a wrench to take the scope off, so why have folding buis mounted all the time anyways?  Plus when i run just irons the weight of the rifle dramatically is reduced.  Idk, i find myself going backwards.  I went from standard m4 style, to dro in rail, vfg, and red dot to free floated 13" rail, ss upper, 2-7x scope, and afg to same but without afg,  now i want irons again lol.  kiss i guess.  Maybe i need to build another rifle

Thats whats nice about the Larue LT-104 and the Troy flip up sights. You can have your scope and your sights quickly.
I can generaly remove my scope and employ my BUIS in about 10 seconds. Cost is an issue to most but to me its a cost worth while.
As for your question the folding sights are just that they stay out of the way. I could never go back to a scope that had to be removed with a wrench.

right, so for the flip sights to be useful i gotta spend another 200 bucks for an ADM or larue scope mount.   with 400 bucks and my spare parts i could build another rifle all together.  wait thats the answer right there damn this disease

magpul sights would be the economical solution. no plastic aiming solutions for me though.  I guess ill just order the troy fixed iron sights.   shit now im looking at the folding troys again in FDE for only 169.99    '
