I’ve got a 556 Patrol with the factory hooded front sight and the pretty crappy rotary diopter rear. I like the front sight and do not want to replace it. Are there any options for a quality folding or fixed rear sight that is the right height for the front sight?

Thanks!

Samson or midwest industries have 556 correct height rear sights - I have one on mine - so much better than.  They are not cheap.  Look on ebay or gunbroker.

I thought those are standard AR height rears that match their 556-speciifc front sights?

good luck trying to match up whatever Sig put on the front of a 556...  I tried when I had a 556 in the past and it was boondoggle.  I think I went back to the original POS sight, at least it had a reasonable POI.

I put AR height Midwest Industries sights on mine. Work fine that way. I wasn't satisfied with the SIG sights.

I just went with an original, yellow lettered Bushnell TRS25 with a UTG super slim .5 riser...gives absolute witness with the factory flip up emergency sight....cured my need to find a BUIS....

The original yellow lettered TRS25s are good little optics...stay away from the white lettered ones. total investment $55 bucks.

I will probably invest in a MRO with a low mount down the road.
