    Personally, my favorite irons are the RPD/AK47, and the Scar a close second.
     
    I use the ACR a lot, and find it's sights are barely usable.
     
    I really dislike the irons on the M16, FAL, and the Tar.

    The SCAR has an awesome iron sight, and so does the M4A1.

    @kenya24: The AK? Really? I can't stand the iron sights on that thing. 
     
    The M4A1 is probably my favorite. And most of the LMG sights are pretty good.

    I like the ACR sights compared to any of the rest.  But I hate ALL iron sights so there is no competition between them for me.

    Do you like the RPD irons? Because they're essentially the same as the AK. And I love them both, yes. A lot.

    I only use the RPD and AUG in the LMG class, do they still have that one LMG whose irons take up like half the screen and don't tell you much? I fucking hated those.
     
    And yeah, I like the SCAR's and RPD's the best probably.

    I think the ACR has hand's down the best iron sights in the game. However, I think all of the iron sights in the game are at least acceptable in comparison to CoD 4 which had some pretty awful ones. 
    The only iron sight i find i dislike a lot is the FAMAS.

    I love the M16's iron sights, and the UMP.45, i think those are the 2 best in the game. 
    But yeah the FAMAS's sight is just horrible, the whole gun just looks nasty as a matter of fact.

    SCAR has easily the best sights and I'd have to say that M4 has the worst. Those sights block like 3/10ths of your screen.

    RPD Iron-sights for me!
     
    It does it's work and it can basically be used as a sniper rifle it's so accurate.

    FAL Iron-sights are the worst by far.
     
    AUG Iron-sights are the best for me.

    I'm not surprised to see such a wide range of preferences on here. Personally, I don't have any problem with ANY of the guns' iron sights, except for the L86 LMG. In fact, for a few of the guns, like the TAR, I vastly prefer the iron sights to the red dot.

    I'm totally fine with all the iron sights in this game. Cod4 i couldn't stand iron sights, but in this one i don't mind them at all. Best would probably have to be the famas or scar, but i can't think of any off the top of my head that i don't like.

    FAL
    When you look to the left or right, the center notch is completely obstructed.

    The SCAR-H is really easy with it's iron sight.
     
    And the ACR would have to be the hardest.

    I HATE the way the SCAR's ironsights look but they are by far the easiest to use. 
    RPD is also good because it doesn't block any of your vision.
    ACR I don't mind (although I hate the gun itself). 
    M16 probably has the worst ironsights in the game imo.

    I like pretty much all the iron sights - they seem a lot bigger than they were in Call of Duty 4. Still, here are my favorite ones:
     

    • TAR-21
    • ACR
    • UMP .45
     
    I find the TAR-21 has very easy to use iron sights, as they're open and allow for a lot of freedom. IMO, they're almost better than the Red Dot Sight for it.

    Most LMGs have manageable iron sights. ACRs and M4A1 also have pretty good ironsights. As far as worst go, I'd have to say the M16 or the FAL.
