Promag aluminum flip-up sights. Light and durable. Food down for easy storage.

The Magpul sights hold zero surprisingly well. I would want a larger caliber for a hog gun. Red Dots are great if you get a good one, I haven't seen a cheap on that can hold zero yet.

Please don't buy anything promag...

Pro mags tend to have issues just do a quick google search on promag ar sights not saying they ar bad just some lemons...their mags are so so...I wouldn't have pro mag sights or mags for my shtf gear but for farting around shooting...ok

ProMag has very poor quality control. They have a couple of good items in their line up, one being their 15-22 mags, and some of their mag loaders. Their sights are pretty poor at holding zero mainly due to the fact that the mount is over sized and can/will wobble.

I just put a Nikon p-223 fixed 3x scope on my AR and really like it. Got it off eBay brand new for like $180. I almost went red dot, but I wanted to be able to reach out and touch something if I needed to. Used my magpul iron sites for a while and they do hold zero well.

If I don't sell my current AR I am going to outfit it with a Burris combo - 4X magnification scope + red dot. These are great combos for the price.

EoTech 512..... It's a bit heavy, but that SOB is durable. As far as sights, I would go with Yankee Hill. Brush gun or battle rifle, outfit it with the best your budget will allow. Buy once and cry once.
