    What's your preferred flip up rear sight?

    Real quick now, dont think about it too much - what's your preferred flip up rear sight?
    I will add that I'm looking to get one sooner or later.
    I'll also add that I really dont like the magpul mbus, but that's just my preference.
    I used to have a troy diamond diopter flip rear which was pretty nice, even though I didnt get to use it much before selling the rifle it was on.
    Last, I realize that what you like & what you actually use can be 2 different things, so try not to give the question too much thought.

    MBUS Pro.

    Quite a few good options out there. I do want to try some MBUS 3s when they come out.

    Once you go Troy, you never go back!

    MBUS. I only cling to BUIS for emotional support. Z, and never shoot again. So its nice that they are light.

    Second favorite are the Matech. Thats what I would use if it were likely that I would have to use them.

    I also like the Griffin fixed offset irons that I use with an LPVO.

    Aero Precision.

    If it’s truly a backup site with a quality optic...

    The Griffin are extremely light, but to the extent I would start to worry about heavy use.
    Troys work just fine.
    I liked the KAC 200-600 was cool. I didn’t keep it for a specific reason on a purpose-built upper, but the sight was very nice.
    MBUS Pro ...I currently have unzeroed offsets and regular, so have to get to the range to get some time with them. Not sure yet. Very solid, probably my choice if these were to be used as more than backup.

    Instinctively, as a true backup, the MI combat rear is a really good option for me.

    MBUS Pro. Low profile.

    KACs are very nice as well, but more expensive and harder to get that MBUS Pros.

    MBUS Pro. Unlike the more expensive KACs, it has two apertures and serrations to reduce glare. I thought the latter was more of a talking point than anything until a few months ago when I was trying to zero, the glare was super distracting.
