My favorite are made by LMT. I like the LMT BUIS better than the KAC.

Ultradyne
Grabbed both of my sets from RTB during sales for not much more than the cost of Magpul Pros. |

KAC with the big ol' knob or even LMT if you can actually find one.
Scalarworks has a set due to come out that look pretty good too. Expensive, but they appear to be about as lo-pro as possible. |

ARMS, Midwest, KAC, Mapul Pro.........
But I really like my Bobro sites. https://www.bobroengineering.com/Lowrider-Backup-Sights_p_56.html |

I got the Troy battle sights a long time ago because this place said they were the best.
That was before they got stupid and have been shunned |
|

I have several sets of Midwest Industries sights that I'm very pleased with.
|

When you say nicer than magpul, do you mean the plastic ones or the metal ones (pro)?
|
|
On a whim I bought a set of KRISS sites and like them. I needed something low profile and these fit the bill. They are also metal, which is nice. No idea how sturdy they are since I just put them on and haven't sighted them in yet.
https://store.kriss-usa.com/steel-low-profile-rear-flip-sight/ I found them locally at a good price. |

TROY is the best. I don't care that the GD has their panties in a bunch over them. I don't give a shit.
TROY is the best. |

Doesn't even look close to being on the same plane. |

KAC seems to be the best for me at distance but magpul pros are close enough for half the cost.
Edit Scar sights are the best though |
|
The KAC people crack me up.
Double the cost for something the dude will sight in and then literally never use again |

Troy makes the best ones and that’s what i use. Knights are very good too.
|
|
Magpul makes two grades - the regular MBUS are plastic, but the MBUS PRO are metal.

Nice sights |

All of mine are Troy, I got a few sets for a really good price about 10 years ago, and nothing else has really come close, quality wise.
I am going to check out a set of Griffin Armament sights though, those intrigue me with how easy they are to set up at 45 degrees. |
|
Quoted: If these don't come in a flip up, maybe 45 deg will fit the backup sights role? https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0049/0867/9266/products/OFFSET45DEGREE_5_2048x.jpg?v=1586466168 View Quote OMG LOL Hahahahaha !!!! So much WANT !!! |

I've used KAC on work rifles, but prefer Magpul Pros over the KACs.
I know that will irritate the "it's better because I spent an unnecessary amount of money on it" crowd. |

Quoted: As often as BUIS are going to be called upon, and the types of shots you'll want to make, you're probably better served buying a Magpul set and a skinnier front post and putting the extra $ into making sure the primary optic doesn't fail. View Quote Also, this. I've never "needed" my BUIS. |
