Rear Sights

[KevDen2005]

What are your favorite sight systems, specifically rear sight systems for AR rifles and why? I am familiar with the MagPul flip ups and the Troy Flip Ups. I have been reading reviews on lots but wanna hear what people use and why.

Might be better located in the Sights, Optics, Zero subforum.

I only have experience with Magpul so far. Not much of an iron sight guy.

For a fixed sight I like the Daniel Defense. The Troy is my preferred sight for a fold-down.

That probably is a better place for this question, which I noticed after I posted...

Hopefully a Mod can move it for me.

I prefer fixed sights, but flip ups are nice if you run a glass optic with your gun. They're out of the way when you don't need them and there when you do, which is the point to them. I have a larue fixed rear/Troy fixed HK front, the HK style front makes it easy super easy to line up. I also have Troy flip ups and KAC 200-600m flip ups, and I like them as well.

Troys are almost indestructible and grunt simple. I've never had a need for an engagement out to 600 yds while CONUS so having fancy adjustable rears that can be on the wrong setting and cause you to miss a 100 yd shot is unnecessary. If this is for a duty gun, I would avoid Magpul; I've broken 2 sets getting in and out of vehicles.

I just reiceived an email from Magpul on Friday anouncing their new version of a flip up in steel.
You might want to check it out.

I prefer fixed rear sights and the milspec post sight up front. The one I like best is made by Daniel Defense. I ended up getting a similiar one from ebay and put that on mine.

+1 for the MaTech rear sight - clean, simple, strong, unobstructed, accurate, quickly adjusts to varying distances - what more could you ask for.
