If you are planning on iron backup sights, wouldn’t you want maximized sight radius?

Back and forth on it. The obstacle I was really working around was protrusion/height and integration with other mounted items.
Ultimately, from a "work gun" standpoint, I don't think that what I think I want is going to work, and thus mini-RDS and flip-up BUIS are the way for that application.
For a "game gun" I think it'll be decent,
Sight radius is massively overrated, especially on a shoulder-stabilized platform inside 200 yards.

Am I understanding your need correctly? You’re looking for an offset (rotate rifle x degrees to put into view) BUIS that are simple, fixed in a ready position and don’t stick out collecting branches and other crap. Not looking for match accuracy but more into the minute of man in an I’m glad I wore my brown pants situation.
Kind of reminds of safari rifle sights meant to get on target ASAFP before a buffalo or lion has you fir a snack. Those are usually very forward on a rifle.
What about MLok bases that have dove tails to accept a leaf and post. You could mount at the 45 deg slot on the handguard. Adjust to minimize the rifle tilt and taper the leading edges to not catch crap since they will need to be higher above the bore for a semi normal cheek weld.
