Which AR-15 carry handle rear sight?

[119er]

I have a Bushmaster MOE Dissipator on the way soon and I want a carry handle rear sight for it in lieu of the flip up sight it comes with. I bought this rifle with the intent of it being a dedicated iron sight rifle due to the sight radius with the benefit of portability.

So my question: Which carry handle is the best bet? Any particular one to avoid?

I have DPMS that came with one and it functions fine. I put a NM aperture in it and did the modified zero(can't remember the name), which I like.

Any input appreciated.

You're probably fine with that one. I'd loctite (blue) the mounting screws and keep an eye on the adjustment mechanism if you're adjusting much.

I've noticed the DPMS handle is twice the price or more than the others, at least on Midway. Any specific reason or is it that much better? I do adjust elevation more frequently with that zero. It is set to 50,100,150,200 IIRC. I really works great for accurate shooting.

I've yet to see anything from DPMS that's substantially better than most any other manufacturer's products, aside from the more obvious junk makers (NC Star, etc).

If I were buying a new one, I'd probably spend the couple extra bucks for a Colt or BCM (or try to find an "unused" one someone took off a Colt and doesn't want). If I already had the DPMS, I don't know that I'd spend the extra money on a better one, unless I was taking it to war. There's not that much that can go bad, as long as it works right in the first place, i.e. lines up with the front sight.

There are plenty of take-off Colts on ebay, and you can find them if you search the classifieds of the right websites too.

My vote for the best carry handle is this one.
