I personally have a Vortex 6x24 50mm with very low profile mounts and I can use my irons decently, but it helps if you pull off the scope covers unless you have very thin/low profile covers.

Whether or not your rings are too high depends on how you are built and your intended use, so I cannot answer that. Once properly installed, iron sights use should be possible with or without scope.

Yes, it enabled me to still use the iron sights. Be sure to use loctite on the screws to insure they do no loosen up during use.

Yes you will be able to use your iron sights due to the Springfield mounts high clearance over them. The height of the scope may cause a problem with cheek weld to the stock. I changed out my M1A stock to a Archangel stock which has an adjustable cheek weld and length of pull for a more custom fit and I love it. You could also purchase strap on welds that will bring your eye level up to the scope while maintaining a weld on the stock.

The reflex sight I tried to use was a trijicon (since returned, don't remember model) and it did interfere, with the Prism optics top elevation adjustment knob. I took it off because of that reason. However, I have noticed since that my initial sight-in my initial adjustments my zero has held solid and I have not had to adjust my prism sight, even after taking it off and putting it back on my AR my zero has held. I may have been too hasty on the return. The other option quick release mount for the reflex (fastfire reflex has one I have looked at) would be the other option.

The scope mounts very close to the rifle with the rings that are included. Also the scope is too long with a short eye relief so you will not have room for any iron sights. I ended mounting some offset iron sights and they work surprisingly well.

I don't know. I can tell you the treading is good and quality is good. I have no complaints on the rings and mounts be sure to use blue thread locker. I switch the vortex and mounts from my AR15 20" HBAR To my 308 and they still hold up well. I hope this helps

I used standard rings for my Rossi, the mount I got from Amazon. There are four tapped screws under the Iron site made for a rail for a scope. A long eye relief scope is needed because of the top eject. Works and looks great.

yes however, if your rail is limited to the length of the carry rail the length of the rings 3 screw caps combined with the size of your scope adjustment housing may run off the edge. you will want to use "low" height. Weaver makes rings with 2 screws per cap and if you get those you won't have a problem

I bought a NCStar pistol or scout scope 3-7 and it came with rings. You will notice when you mount your scope with the brass stacker that the scope sits really high up compared to a regular scope mount, but it is fine for me. So I would go with the lowest rings you can use as it will still be up high. No need to make it any higher than it has to be.

I am using the Weaver Quad-lock rings, 49047 and have the 49046 rings on order. One is high the other medium. Used with a Nikon 3-9AO scope on a Ruger 10/22 takedown. Not really sure about the specifics you ask.

The rings are not mounted out of the box...you have to install. This red dot is more of a ready to use for AR style weapons. If your rifle has a low. standard height rifle front sight, it's not for you. Look at a Sightmark Ultra Shot QD Reflex Sight. It comes with a quick mount and a lifetime warranty. If your set on a tube style red dot, look at Vortex. The Vortex has GREAT optics for the money, not so much for the Bushnell. OH yeah, I forgot to tell you...the Vortex comes with a 2X adapter...no need to co-witness.

I have a picatiny rail above the iron sites. It mounted directly to that and the mounts are free floating until I tightened them, with the Allen key it came with. I reall hope that answers your question.

Depends on the mounts. It does come with quick detach but they are low. I needed to use med height rings on my mount.Nice scope for the bucks, think you will like it. Doom

Not sure which mount, most use see though mounts so they can still use the irons. Doing so tends to raise your cheek weld a little high off the stock in my opinion. Use whatever mounts are high enough to allow clear ejection of brass from the chamber.

The rings that come with the optic. For an AR or any flat rail type system you will need the taller rings. The front of the optic will contact the rail with the low rings on a flat rail. I made the mistake of ordering the wrong one, but a quick email to vortex and they sent me the correct rings along with a prepaid return slip. Excellent customer service.

Use medium profile mounts. I had a hawke 40mm scope n my mounts were low profile n i had reasonable clearance. If you want to use airgun sights you may opt a high profile mount but i personally prefer to mount my scopes as low as I can.

My scope came with the high rings which would be 22.6mm from the bottom of the scope tube to the top of the picatinny rail. Depends on your setup, but for something like a Remington 700 with a picatinny rail you will most likely want low 35mm rings.

Issue isn't size of rings, issue is how high do you have to elevate the scope for clearance. I use UTG. #RG2W 120. These rings mount high and will accept scopes up to 65MM. This allowed me to use my iron sights below the scope. But they come in lower profiles. A medium and a low profile. It tells you on the box what size Objective lens and tube diameter each is good for. Hope this helps

You may have noticed that the UTG Medium Profile Riser Mount with 3 slots was listed along with this sight and that mount is generally good to co-witness your AR-15 iron sights. I have had to also use the Low Profile version on some guns but Medium should be fine.
