Andrew at Vuurwapen Blog has just posted a video discussing whether you need BUIS on your AR-15 if you are not in combat arms, a LEO, or similar. He makes a lot of good points and notes that his M-4 wasn't equipped with BUIS when he deployed as a Navy Corpsman with the Marines to Al Anbar Province in Iraq.
I think I'll be taking another look at this for some of my future builds. Realistically, I can't see the need for BUIS on an AR-15 set up for hunting coyotes or other varmints.

If I was dedicating an upper to be a varmint shooter, I wouldn't spend the money on BUIS. However, mine spends part time with a scope on QD rings during hunting season as a back-up and the rest of the year with a red dot and low profile BUIS. I switch back and forth between the iron and red dot depending on the range and what I'm trying to accomplish.
