Backup sight opinions

[Sandman]

I have an AR-10 (flat top) that I will put a scope on soon. I was wondering suggestions of backup iron sights to use. My main purpose would be long range with the scope but I would like a good set of irons as well. Thanks!

I love my Troy BUIS. You can usually get a pretty good discount on their website with the nutnfancy coupon code. I think its maybe 10-15% off.

I got a set of xs sights. The XTS 45° sights an my ar15. Pricey but great sights.

Their diamond shaped rear aperture version is even better than the traditional circle, IMO.  I thought it was gimicky when I read about it...then I tried it.

I recently purchased a Knights Armament Micro 600m BUIS while out in NC that has USMC markings on it.  After looking, it appears there are tons on eBay as well for ~$40.  FWIW, there has been some discussion online that these may be stolen (and KAC is very adamant about it, although they may be pissed that these are selling for so much less than their commercial version), but I don't believe that as they are available in quite a few shops around the base in NC.  If they were stolen, surely someone would have taken action by now against shop owners and online retailers.  I like it quite a bit better than my Magpul MBUS, although that is another solid option as well.
