Is there a non flip up option that's adjustable?

 

[Lennie]

Most all sights for rail mount are flip up. Colt, Ruger and many others use mag pul sights as OEM sights on their ARs.
There more expensive flip up sights but mag pul is a solid choice.

I also have Troy flip-up battle sights on my ARs and I really like them as well.

The Daniel Defense would be a nice front sight for your application.
About $65

Figure out how high standard issue iron sights were/are and get that height.

 

[KCKracker]

I believe that is set up for standard height like your carry handle.

[msgriff]

Normal AR sights are 1.42" +/- to the center of the rear aperture, with the front sight matching that. Exceptions include front sights specific for some railed gas blocks. Some HK's and Sigs will usually have lower ones. Which rifle do you have?
