    Do you want flip-ups or fixed? Or maybe offsets? Are these backup to an optic? I'm guessing they are since you refer to them as backup sights. What kind of optic?

    I'm running Magpul MBUS Pros with an Aimpoint Micro and an EoTech.

    I run fixed sights with my red dots in a lower 1/3 co-winess mount, a2 up front, chopped carry handle behind, no need to flip anything up, they're always right there if you need them and they don't interfere with your field of view when you're using the red dot since they're not in the same plane of focus

    I like the MBUS Pros due to their small size when folded down. Troy and KAC are popular as well, KAC being the most costly. Bobro has recently started offering folding sights but I've never seen them in person. Given the quality of their mounts I can only guess the sights are good to go.

    The polymer Magpul MBUS (not the Pros) will also do the job if you're looking for a less expensive option.

    How much are you looking to spend?

    Running troy folding sights on every rifle. You can get a great price on them if you search the equipment exchange.

    Troy is all I use. I have for years and see nothing new that is better. They are rock solid and work well.
    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.
