G7 Scout

This is a semi-automatic rifle, which can be used to combat enemies in mid to long ranges. However, this light ammo rifle probably has the worst iron sights in the entire roster of weapons.

30-30 Repeater rifle

This weapon is a well-known heavy rifle that bridges the gap between an assault rifle and a sniper. This weapon is definitely powerful but sadly it has one of the worst iron sights in the game.

Spitfire

The almighty heavy LMG can shred an entire team with ease but you better not use it with its iron sight. It will block your vision and force you to swing the weapon around to gauge the situation.

Flatline

This is probably one of the best assault rifles in the entire game, as it has a simple recoil and great firepower. Sadly, you cannot say the same thing about its iron sights, it is downright terrible to use without an attachment.

Longbow

It is unfair to insert a sniper rifle in this conversation, as each one requires a sniper scope to excel. In this case, Longbow suffers heavily in this regard with a terrible iron sight.

Hemlok

It is not the strongest weapon in the game, but it does have a decent iron sight that can allow you to tag enemies.

EVA-8

The meta weapon of Season 9 with a decent iron sight that can be used to take down enemies in close range with or without aiming down the sight.

L-Star

It is an energy weapon and a complete powerhouse that packs a mean punch. It can be used with no attachment for sights, as L-star is meant for close-range combats and this LMG can decimate anything in its path.

Mozambique

It has a great iron sight for pistols, as it does not block your shots and you can definitely use it with no attachments.

Sentinels

It is unfair to put sniper rifles on this list, but Sentinels can hold its own with its clean iron sights. You can use it to deal with enemies who manage to get closer to you.

Wingman

The strongest pistol in the entire game, Wingman essentially serves as the desert eagle of Apex Legends. It is made for highly skilled gamers, and it also has a neat iron sight.

R-99

A light ammo SMG that has great firepower and a reliable iron sight that you can use from the get-go.

Alternator

This machine pistol is very reliable and serves as a great basic weapon in the early stages of the game. It has an accurate iron sight that will not bother you.

Re-45

Another reliable weapon with a clean iron sight that you can use to knock down enemies in the early phases.

Havoc

The name itself suggests everything the weapon can do, eliminate foes, and destroy teams trying to run by you. It offers clean iron sights and a powerful punch that can knock out enemies with a few shots.

Triple Take

Arguably, the strongest sniper rifle in the game with a perfect iron sight, which allows it to obliterate foes in close range as well.

R-301

Best assault rifle in the entire game, and it the king of close range incursions with a proper iron sight.

Charge Rifle

This sniper rifle has the best iron sights as compared to its peers, and you can fight in any range with it.

A powerful shotgun with easy-to-use iron shot, few shots can drop anyone that gets in its way.
