Are the iron sights visible when a scope is mounted?

No, you cannot see the iron sights when installed, so must commit to optics.

Yes, you can use your Iron sights. No problem here. I love the mount, rock solid! "When you follow the instructions and it's mounted properly."

Yes they are. There is a sight channel down the center of the mount but you have to have the correct height scope rings. This is the reason why I bought this mount so I could use the iron sights also. Hope this helps.

You can see through the scope using flip up sights I know, that's how I have my AR set up

Depending on the mount you choose, and what iron sights you are using, then yes, it will co-witness...

I've had no issue, I checked this against the iron sights before installing a different configuration and it seemed to be spot on.

You would need see-through scope mounts. I have a red-hot on my 10-22 have I can't use the iron sights. No scope, no problem

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.

No, you will not be able to use the rail and still see the iron sights. A set of Leupold 57323 rings will attach directly to the receiver and allow you to see the iron sights.

The scope is not designed to be co-witnessed with fixed iron sights. As previously stated, the reticle is visible with or without illumination, so it should be usable regardless of lighting conditions or dead batteries. If you want an alternative sighting system (for instance, a 1x non-magnified sight picture rather than 3x), I would recommend a set of 45 degree offset sights.

Yes you can. It just raises the sight on the scope a little bit but you can clearly see the iron sights

Yes, you will be able to co-witness the factory sights. I have an M&P; 40 and tried my sights on it. Just order the one with the mounting plates. Very easy to install.

No, you can use the mounts supplied to use a co-witness set up. The one drawl back is the sight is small and may limit your vision through the optic to see your sights. Either way you can still use the irons through thr optic.

Yes, there is a separate brightness knob for the crosshairs. You can turn them off without effecting the rest of the scope.

No. It sits it very close to co-witness when on 1 power. After u zoom to about 3 power the front iron sight is not visible.

I believe the sights would be too high for a see through mount. Noun the scope flush with rings that have the ability to 45 degree iron sights.

I don't know if they are the official iron sights. However, the front sight is metal. The rear sight mount is metal but the sliding sight adjustment is plastics.

Yes, it can. However, you have to forego the top rail. If you are going to continue to use the iron sights, then you will be able to use stripper clips. However, if you use the top rail on this stock set or if you drill and tap your receiver for a scope, you'll be unable to use stripper clips.
