Troy Industries are top of the line.

I have taken them on and off and they still hold their zero... Pretty nice sights!

+1 for Troy. I have several, and they work quite well for me. They have a low profile when folded, too, allowing them to work with most scope setups.

Agree with the above, Troy makes the "Benchmark" in BUIS.

MAGPUL BUIS are good as well. If you are looking for a war ready rear sight, the Troys really can't be beat. If your looking for the same thing but a little cheaper, then the MAGPUL BUIS will do the job. I'm currently running the Magpul BUIS and haven't had any issues with it.

I have the Troy Battle sights and to me they are over priced. Good quality for sure but other for less just does the same. I have the Troy on my 308 and have Magpul's on my 556. I guess it comes down to who can afford it but one set is my budget.

+1 for Troy, although I'm partial to the di-optic variant.

Be aware, Magpul says in it's literature NOT to use their front sight on a gas block. The plastic may melt. Important if you rapid fire. On quad rails they are fine but you should only use metal on a gas block.
