Hello, I’m looking for a backup rear sight for my new Bushmaster Piston upper. It has a BMAS flip front sight already. I plan to use a EOtech full time. I would really like to find something in a flip type rear for under $100. I like the Troy Battle Sight but I don’t want to spend $140 on something that wont see much use. I just want something that will be a back up if I need it. So what do you think the best rear back up sight is for under $100
Thanks 
About half way down on the page part # 9680. This is the only one I can think of for under $100. Your best bet is to watch the Members sales forum for something used that is of a better quality. There also may be some one else who can recommend a different sight that is of better quality.
FYI- YHM also makes the Bushmaster BMAS stuff!
-DM-
Well, You could go with the YHM rear BUIS; but at ~85$, why not fork out the extra 10 or so dollars for something spring-loaded or with a more secure mounting mechanizm?
There’s not a lot of wiggle-room in the price points of BUIS’, unless you go w/the fixed UTG sight for 29.95. You always get what you pay for.
Look at the various auction sites and purchase a USGI Matech. They can be had new for $50-$75.00. Quality is top notch, but they are not meant to be continously removed from the rail without replacing the threadlocker on the screw.
No, buy a KAC 300m rear or used 600m rear for around $100-$110.
I wouldn’t buy more YHM sights if I were you. One is enough.
Actually Midwest makes some of the nicest BUIS around and their rear goes for $99.

and their front sight buis are damn nice too to match.

Cool, Only $92 with my dealer discount
I just found a ARMS #40 for $95

Thanks
Buy the ARMS. Don’t buy the MI. The MI is just like the YHM rears. They don’t really fold “down.” They just “fold.”
Kinda like someone standing and then bending at the waist versus actually laying down to stay low profile and take cover.
The YHM and MI are just big and bulky.
Look for an ARMS #40L. Very flat.
LOL, I foresee SuicideHZ and I to have even further different tastes and opinions on many more things to come.
The MI ERS is a little taller when folded down due to it having a traditional A2 windage adjustment knob (which is preferable to me), but it still folds down just fine unless you have height issues. That extra aluminum for the body of the sight means extra strength too.
If you want super flat than spend the money for the TROY’s, but I personally don’t like the ARM’s much with it’s exposed spring, longer design or quality. To each his own though and the Midwest fronts with their partial hooded HK style sight picture is a great sight picture and perfect for the ERS.
You can get them in different heights too for your mounting needs whether now or later.

How soon do you need it? It may be worth waiting until after SHOT to see if there is anything new…
I’m in no big hurry, it’s just going to be a back up for my eotech. I’m going to keep my eye open for a deal on a used one as well.
sorry for the threadjack…but
Stick, do you know something your not telling us?
Pittbull,
Yes.
3 hours until SHOT opens.
pittbull-
#1- stick always knows something
#2- shot show is where companies put out new products. BUIS are a popular one…
Maybe you could look into purchasing Magpul Backups?
I would LOVE to purchase the Magpul BUIS, but alas…i don’t have a pass to the show
you don’t buy them at the show.
I know…it a trade show, and yes i know that doesn’t mean i can trade something for them LOL, i should have been more specific…i would like to hold them in my hot little hands first!
ah…
and trade not as in “give me that i’ll give you this…”
right, right, right. LOL!
That new Magpul sight does look interesting.
