Been a minute since I’ve bought back up iron sites. Like to get 2 sets for my Seekins SP10 and SP-15. Something nice and oriented toward “precision” (small peep option).
Looking for brands OTHER than KAC, LMT, Magpul Pro. Have those on other guns. Looking for suggestions. Appreciate your time.

Did see these on Rainiers site:

Based on the recommendations of another member, the Ultradyne C4's are on my short list.

out of the ones you have listed the Magpul pro is my favorite. The front post gives you two options out of the box. They come from the factory using a very fine post, if you prefer the standard size it just take a couple minutes to adjust it.

you can always get your preferred set and swap the front post for a finer one and you have exactly what you want.
 
I’d actually like something other than the ones Iisted. Try to branch out. Lol

I really like the Scalarworks Peak Sights. I have them on three rifles.
 
Era tac are pretty choice. After mucking with KAC, lmt, magpul pro they are my pick
 
the ex-mil Matech are decent, windage adjustment and a range scale. KAC even better.
 
KAC and LMT are the best ones out there. They are easy to use, bombproof, low profile and space design. There really is not option out there imho, that compares

forget Troy, no one should support those guys

What exactly did Troy do to make you salty? I know Steve personally and know the kind of guy he is so I'd love to hear this.
They hired Dale Monroe (ruby ridge) and then double downed on defending him. They announced the hiring of Jody Weis but the public response was tremendous and they backed down. There was some lying and misdirection on Troy Industries part thrown in as well. You can read tons of articles and forum discussions on the matter.

I can't believe people don't know these things.

2A people are their own worst enemies imho. buying from Troy is like voting for Hillary

Ultradyne Back-Up Iron Sights

The new Ultradyne back-up iron sights for the AR-15 are the most innovative back-up iron sights that I’ve used; particularly their HK style front sight. Unlike the fundamentally flawed HK style front sights manufactured by Troy Industries, Precision Reflex, Samson etc, the Ultradyne HK style front sight maintains the proper orientation of the front sight post within the circular front sight “ears” throughout its entire range of elevation and windage adjustment.

You may have noticed in the previous sentence that I said “elevation and windage adjustment.” The unique feature of the front sight having windage adjustment allows you to obtain a no-wind zero by making adjustments solely to the front sight.

The Ultradyne front sight employs interchangeable front sight posts. There are currently five different front sight posts available; four of them are aperture posts and one is a square post the size of the standard A2 front sight post. The interchangeable front sight posts are a proprietary design. Mil-spec front sight posts will not work with the Ultradyne front sight.

The Ultradyne rear back-up iron sight also has interchangeable apertures. Two rear apertures are currently available; a 0.050” aperture and a 0.070” aperture. The rear sight can also be used without either rear aperture installed, giving you a ghost-ring sight picture. The rear sight is also adjustable for windage and elevation.

I mounted the Ultradyne back-up iron sights (with the 14 MOA aperture front sight post and 0.050" rear sight aperture) on one of my Krieger barreld AR-15s. Using match-grade hand-loads and shooting off-the-bench at a distance of 100 yards, I was able to achieve a 10-shot group that had an extreme spread of 0.71”.

I've never used these but looks interesting to say the least. would love to give these a try
 
They don't fold but I prefer the DD fixed set. If not, standard carry handle on a fsgb rifle.
 
Gotta go with Magpul pros for flip down, fixed I was beyond blow away by Scalar works peak sights. As a machinist fit and finish is super important and ive never seen better.
 
If we're going to include fixed BUIS sights, then the Scalarworks rear sight is the finest one that I've ever tested.

Yup! I believe there is a set in the classifieds for 200.00
