will I be able to see and utilize my iron sights on my rifled barrell with using this mount / scope?

I can see a bead sight on my barrel with one, but on my rifle sighted 20" 870 barrel, you can't see over the rear sight.

unsure tom, but i have a see thru mount to allow a scope and iron sights at the same time, they work well set at 50yds for me with it, and i imagine the clearances would be the same for you. i would suggest a different mount personally.

Yes, you can see the iron sight like normal and also your Red Dot Sight with you head in a more up right postion. I have my setup about half way, so it feels normal looking at both 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.

I mounted standard flip up iron sights in my AR. You can see the sights great right through the multi dot. Don't know why the reticle on top or a later on the side wouldn't work also. Very versital!

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. If you're not using iron sights, then the regular mount will also work and will also have room for a 3X magnifier.

My rifle didn't have iron sights, however with the medium height mounts and the 40 mm scope on a 22-250 varmint special I had less than a 1/8th inch clearance between the scope and bolt handle when the action was cycled. Had to go with the higher mount.

It is considered a high mount, providing proper clearance and eye position. If you have a fixed sight and low power setting on your scope, you will be able to see that front sight. You might try a folding front sight to cure that problem. If you are trying to co-witness iron sights and scope, it will not work right, because of magnifying effect, even thou the height will be right.

In theory, yes. Keep the front visor down with the pinhole opening and you could use it. That said, that is not what it is designed for and I wouldn't. I have a dedicated 5.56 upper for my AR that when I need mounted, ready night optics I just swap uppers and I'm good to go. You can build an upper for four hundred bucks and use iron sights for daytime use, much better option in my opinion.

Though not familiar with the M-4 it may work work well mounted w/ iron sights--but that depends on the sight configuration-if they can be removed or flipped down.. Best bet would be an under or side mount. Sight does come with a mount that I've found to be quite adaptable. Have had no problem with rifle mount, i.e. Steel Force. Good luck! Snip

I used this item on a Marlin Model 60 22 caliber rifle and I can no longer use my sights unless I remove the scope mount, I hope I was able to help with my response.

Not unless you want to use your iron sights in addition to this scope. Then you'll need 1" high see through scope rings.

Yes, but I suggest that you will need to buy an accessory to raise the scope so that you can use the "iron" sights as well!

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

You should have no problem mounting whatever optics you choose, once the new rail has been installed

This type of mount requires you to remove the scope/red dot to use iron sights. You don't have to remove the rail though, which is due to the sighting slot cut down the center of the rail. They are called see through because normal picatinny rails don't have this slot.
