Read this in another thread and didn't want to hijack it. I thought that we could possibly post some decent sights that people have found to help save others from buying junk.
BUIS are often overpriced, oversized and prone to failure. $20-80 for a set of BIUS makes for pretty marginal sights. Most of the budget BUIS that I have found are all the same made in China models sold by different distributors with a high markup. Wholesale on many of these are $10-$20.
Ones that look like this often retail for $80 but cost about $24 wholesale and are pretty much junk as described above by zcostilla.

I got these off of Amazon for about $25 and they were a waste of money. After a week of bouncing around in the Jeep, the buttons stick and so the sight won't stay folded down.

BCA offers a pretty decent pair for about $40 retail. The ones that I tried at least stayed put when you were shooting and they didn't break after a week of riding around in the jeep. You can find them for less if you look around.

My current preference is the Griffin Armament M2 sights. They are made out of steel and are much slimmer than others. They work well and have a cool mounting system but are way more than $25. Retail is like $175.

What have you guys found that works well and doesn't break the bank? I use them for hunting in case my scope fogs up. For my next Grendel build, I'd love to find a pair like the Griffin sights, but for less money.

He hasnt spent the cash to upgrade them yet (18-years old, so I get it), so under the circumstances I only used one box of ammo, and let my 13-year old son go to town with the other boxes I had bought for the occasion.
