Alright so I'm building a couple budget ARs for two family members. All I need now are some rear "irons". For budget reasons I am considering the Magpul Polymer BUS or the A.R.M.S. #71 Polymer, rear sights only. They are light barreled carbines and will only see light duty range use. I am a steel and wood kinda guy but they wouldn't know the difference. What say the Hide? Are they any good? Other brands or good price point sights available?
 
Re: Magpul/ARMS BUS??

The Magpul MBUS sights should be about perfect. Durable and reliable. That is the way I would go for what you're describing.

Similar priced option could be a used Matech, but I would still get the MBUS personally.

If you want fixed . . .
Troy has a fixed rear sight that goes for $50 and are solid. Daniel Defense 1.5 rear fixed BUIS are nice, but a little more expensive.

Should all hold up well to range use.
