So the red dot is separate from the rest of the sight? so I can have a sight and red dot?

Yes, the laser is on the side of the scope with a mounting block and they each have there own switch. The sight in the scope illuminates in red or green, your choice. And, look further you will find the batteries for this scope at a good price when buying in multi-packs.

Yes. It's handled it on mine just fine. Not like there's much to throw off on a red dot anyway.

Yes, their is actually a dot present in the center of the crosshairs when the red dot is not emitting light. In other words, you do not need to have to reticule lit in order to acquire a target.

It depends on the sight but they will work with both. I have an EOTech holo sight with these sights and you can use both at the same time or just one or the other without them interfering.

Yes you can turn on and off the red dot in the center and adjust from 1-11. With the red dot off you still have the normal reticle.

Yes, the iron sights are perfectly usable with this rail as long as no scope is mounted (which is probably why you want this mount anyway). When a scope or red dot is mounted the iron sights are covered completely, meaning you would have to take the time to remove the scope if you needed your iron sights!

Yes..need to buy one made for this model. I have one ...found very hard to get red dot set ...so not happy with it. If I had to do it again I would go for optics with good cross hair sights.

this sight only has 1 reticle and the others that have multiple are for short and medium range. every dot represents a specific distance but i don't care for that. too confusing and too busy. i can hit 200 yards by just putting the 1 reticle dot above target

These sights are quick detach sites so you can pull the scope off and quickly transition to the MBUS. I use mine with a scout scope, so I can't co-witness the hard sights with the scope.

I personally have the red and green dot and love being able to switch between the two. There are times that I need to make a contrast between my sight picture and the dot itself. I have qualified with this sight on my ar-15 as my patrol (duty) rifle and it performed perfectly. I hope I answered your question, and if you decide to buy this product I hope you have as much success as I have!

This is easy. Co witness is when you can use your flip up sights and your red dot at the same time. Also you can use your flip up sights when your battery runs out on the reddot without having to take it off your rifle. There might be a little adjusting of sights and reddot to get them all lined up.

This is designed just for these rifles and no other mount is needed. I would not recommend this red dot, I could not get it anywhere near zero when boresighting and the rear optic cracked while trying to adjust it. You get what you pay for.

Yes sir. Also, the brightness of the red dot is adjustable. Just keep pressing the button that turns the reticle on/off to cycle through levels of brightness.

Yes you can but the hole you look through is smaller and a little harder to see front sight

I would only reccommend it with pop up sights. My pop up sights align w the center of the optic where the dot would be if the battery fails. Then I can flip up the front sight and use it. If your iron sights are fixed, it may obstruct your vision of the red dot.

no there is no room under this sight for seeing your fixed sights. You would need to mont the fast fire to the side.

Gerald, you should see the red dot in the scope and you should see the red dot outside the scope at whatever you are pointing at.
