I got one of these, I don't like Fiber Optic sights and want a Trijicon Front, How high should I get? .205/.225 etc.

Without knowing what gun, type of shooting and even your eye sight I cannot answer your question. However, I can refer you to this link,(http://www.10-8performance.com/choosing-sights/). Once there click on "Choosing Sights". Hopefully this helps you.

The Acog is great, but there are the same type "calibrated" per weapon platform. Best advice is check Trijicon main site to verify the scope fits your platform needs.

I did not get my sight on perfectly straight. I have yet to get it to the range to see if it is good enough. My last sight had the same issue, so I'm not inclined to blame the sight. You might want to have a gunsmith stick it on for you. You might have better luck if you have a gun vice. I was afraid to use a vice myself. Well, that's my story.

Just like any other 3 dot system. If you shoot low or high you would need to get a higher or lower year sight to correct the condition. These sights are high quality and I like them very well. Anything beats the original plastic Glock sight. Hope this helps.

Sight the top crosshair in at 100 meters. The following crosshairs are for ascending 100 meter intervals. The down side is that they are based on the trajectory of a 55 grain FMJ going 3200 fps., and unless you have a 20'' barrel, your bullet is going 2800fps +/-. The scope is only a 3X and the crosshairs are tiny so they won't be good for long sighting anyway. Just use it and experiment with it. You'll work out something that works for you. I bought it because the crosshairs are etched into the front lense (black), AND you can illuminate them in low light. I have not found those features in a compact scope before. This scope has all the features I'm looking for- for use in a short range weapon. Sight the top crosshair in at 100 meters. The following crosshairs are for ascending 100 meter intervals.

Correct you will need the riser for 1/3 co witness. If you are shooting with both eyes open as you should even without the riser and absolute co witness you really don't see the front sight. My rear sight is fold down so that isn't an issue.

use a bore site..then shoot a group..and adjust accordingly. This particular laser sight will not hold up to the recoil of a .40 cal.

That would make your front sight be substantially lower, and would only be effective if you were shooting out to 300+ yards. There are smaller quarter inch risers that will help a little bit more - but remember that you want your front and rear sights to be level if you're shooting at a closer range. Any further than your iron sights practical range, then you should be using a scope... Unless you're one of those hardcore guys trying to shoot the grand with iron sights and a rifle chambered in 5.56! +1 for the M&P; 15 Sport!

The sight sits kinda high above your rail, so yes, you should be fine. Mine has a flat front gas book and so front sights would not be an issue for me. It may be visible if you have a raised front gas block, but should not obstruct your crosshairs.

I had a bad experience with truglo tfos on my springfield xds. It shot VERY low (2.5" at only 10') and sights weren't adjustable. I got so fed up I put on Trijicons and threw the TruGlos in a drawer. I love the Trijicons... Spot on to mfr specs, very visible, and so far totally durable. Of course, I've only had them for two months. But love them so far!!

This is my secondary optic on my SCAR 17 intended for ranges from CQB to about 400 yards. Beyond that, I go to a Leupold 10x. In terms of your question, that is kind of hard to answer for me. What would you call "accurately"? If it's minutes of man, then you're fine with this scope out to 4-500 meters or beyond. If your shooting for groups or shooting conditions are less optimal - cross wind, etc then there are probably better options. This is optimized to get you on target quickly while being easy to use, provide a decent FOV, and not weigh what a larger scope would weigh. Best answer I have on that. Best.

It would be really high but it will fit. It would be better to purchase a 45° mount for a fastfire 3. This mount is meant to be used as a primary sight.

it sits lower than the eotech I have, it has a bigger view, likely a 40mm or so, it co witnessed fine on the ar15 with a flip up front and rear magpul mbus, its very bright, at night it may be too much without a light, so def need a streamlight or surefire light to tone down the brightness of the reticle during low light

It is a little high. It's made to line up with AR sights ( Eotec , etc ) It's even a little to high for my Sightmark

I have a standard front sight but I replaced the post with a tritium filled one from meprolight. Just make sure whichever one you pick that it is adjustable for elevation as this rear sight only adjusts for windage and distance.

The ballistic setting will be off since it is calibrated for .223/5.56. Try the Trijicon TA648RMR-308 ACOG

Go for it! I use it as the primary sight on an AR. Really fast when you get used to it.
