    Recommendations for Fixed Iron Sights for an AR

    I'd appreciate recommendations for fixed (non-flip-up) iron sights for an AR308. My online searches for recos bring up mostly flip-up sights; I'm curious about fixed options. My rifle will typically be shot at 50 to 100 yards--I don't plan on using it for long-range.

    One option that interests me is this one from Daniels Defense. https://danieldefense.com/components...ght-combo.html I'd appreciate any feedback you have on it.

    Many thanks!

        Daniel Defense A1.5 real sight with standard front sight.

        I had the Troy on my rifle and it would flip to half way on me during during a shoot so I got rid of it. I’ve had the DD A1.5 for several years now and it’s been solid!

          I love my DD but adjusting the rear is a pain.

            A friend recently put a set of those on an upper, incredibly light and excellent quality and finish.

                Another vote for DD sights if you like the A2 picture. I'm personally fond of the HK picture and do like diopter drums, but it is difficult to find with AR height.

                  Thanks for the info guys.

                  On the Daniels Defenses sights, what are the MOA/click values for the front and rear sights? I called DD, and a sales guy told me it was typically 0.5 MOA/click for elevation and 2.0 MOA/click for windage. The windage resolution surprised me. Can anyone confirm?

                    Not a clue.

                    Mine zero'd quickly so what-ever the values are didn't affect me. Sight on at 25 yards, then move out from there. You're only using a few rounds.

                      I run an LMT rear and an Troy HK style fixed sight on my basic rifle (no optic)
