Got my first A4 today (RRA mid-length, SS bbl.). Looking for some great BUIS. What's your humble opinion on who's sights really do rock? Any opinions on which ones to avoid?

Thanks for all perspectives.

Troy front and rear, My favorites, have them on the majority of my rifles.

+1 on the Troy. Very nice low profile.

I love my Troy... But I have not used anything else so I am a little biased.

I have a Matech on my rifle for the army and I have a Troy on my personal rifle.... I have been thinking about getting another matech for my personal rifle...I really like them.

YMMV

Why Troy?  What makes them the best?

Don't you have to keep something with you for adjusting them?

I have two Troys on my two general purpose carbines.

What makes them better:

- No levers or springs to fumble with under stressful situations
- It have a more robust thicker material and stays locked in the up position, you have to push a button to fold it
- It have a zero canting attachment system for picatinny rails
- Protected windage adjustment wheel - won't accidentally changed
- No tools required for windage adjustment (I use bullet tips for easier adjustments)
- Dual same plane aperture
- Large aperture is first used when flipped up
- 6061 alloy aircraft aluminum and stainless steel materials with Milspec finish
- .460" low profile height when folded

I like them better than my KAC 300m and LMT fixed BUIS.

I have the same question.  I was lucky enough to find a RRA upper today (A4 midlength).  The only BUIS they had was the ARMS 40.  Any opinions on that model.

In the little bit of research I have done it looks like Troy is always one of the top choices.

Thanks

Thanks Alpha-Romeo3. Nice set of points.

Thanks everyone. Seems that Troy is the ONE.

Im very happy with my MI or midwest industries sights,I have both front and rear.The rear I think is one of the lowest profile sights you can get in a folding sight.Its the SPLP one.I picked up both for around $200.00.

I've got a ARMS #40L mounted on my carbine at the moment.  I've used this model many times down range and really like it.  However, there are times I like to shoot irons at long range (500-600yds) with my 14.5".  Since my Aimpoint is mounted in front of the reciever and compactness isn't nesseray I may put a Matech on.
