I understand that you don't need to use them both at the same time but what i am saying is that I don't think you can get high enough to clear the front sight. 1.5 inch rings should clear the back just fine with the signt folded down but you will still likely be able to see the front sight through the scope at lower magnification. At 4x you usually won't even see the front sight.i dont need to be able to use both at the same time. i want to be able to clear the rear sight when it is down, not up.
so you are saying 1.5 inch rings would be good for what i want.
F Marked Front sightI was wondering what he meant by "F marked from sight".
If its not a flip up front, then listen to woodstock. You will want ample clearance especially since it has a bullet drop compensating reticle.
Low pro gas black, rail, and flip up sights are all on my Christmas list.F marked front sight is the mil-spec sight. Many copies out there are not the exact same height and do not have the F mark on them.
You can always do what I did and replace it with a railed gas block that was "same plane" as the receiver rail then mounted matching flip up back up iron sights from Yankee Hill Machine if the front sight in the picture bothers you.
Scope wont be till next year. Hopefully if my wife takes the hint from my christmas list, I will get what I need to have a folding front sight.I see, sorry I'm not an AR guy.
If you are going to get flip up sights soon, I would wait to get rings as you wont need to get such tall ones. Lower ones will improve your cheek weld too.
Given the straight line style of an AR any lower than 1.5" is too low to be used with any comfort, unless maybe your you got a real short head. :lol:I see, sorry I'm not an AR guy.
