Whats the mounting height on this thing? Buying a red-dot also and I want to make sure they line up.

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

The turret markings are marked in 1/4 moa. I have never worked with the dr mount so I have no information on sight height.

Where are you planning on mounting? My 45 dare was in my quad rail down facing offset for my green dot. The inly way I see this in the way is if you faced it upwards or on your top rail but I still don't see it being an issue because it is so low profile. Hope this helps.

Sorry,I didn't measure them before I mounted it.What are you going to put it on?

any scope you like will mount with rail adapter ,hammer 22 crossbow ,22, airgun adapter ,was what i used to mount red dot crosshair on mine

Possibly. Sights (front & rear) and red dot need to be on the same sight plane. Good luck.

Measure the center height of your red dot(from top of picatinny rail to where the actual red dot is) if it's on or about 42mm you should be good to go.I have a Bushnell trs25 with a utg high mount and it's right on the money.

I used this to mount a red dot for the same problem that you are describing. The AR I mounted it on has an integrated front iron sight. Like you are describing it interferes but I am not going to be the fool that screws with a iron sight from the SigSauer factory. This rail perfectly raises the sight just above the front sight so that the sight is usable and not a problem. This is definately the way to go. Hopefully I have answered the question let me know if not.

If you are thinking of putting both a scope on a gun with peep thru raised scope mounting and this red dot....I don't think it would work. The actual red dot in the site sits about 2-3 inches off the barrel....It sits about as his as a normal small scope. I don't think the 1 inch scope rings would be high enough. I have peep thru raised sites on my SKS and I removed them to add this red dot scope...It didn't try to keep both and don't think it would work.

Approx. 1.5." When using my red dot, it co-witnesses the front sight at the lower 1/3 of the view. I believe this is what you are maybe concerned about...?

I mounted a Nikon p223 with offset rings mounted so they extended to the rear to bring the scope back far enough for my eye relief. Height wasn't an issue for me. The mount was long enough that I added a second 45' mount with a halligraphic dot ahead and to the right of the scope for a short range sight. Just roll the rifle counter clockwise and the scope goes away and the sight comes up. Works well.

well also bought the mechanically fixed HiViz sights they work are are helpful. depending on if you have a rail or smooth barrel would decide the type but in either case the rail mount winds up being about 18" apart when targeted with a laser bore sighting tool. Its just slaps on but sighting is another store.

It has the attached mount on the red dot, MAKE SURE that you get the high mount.

If I were you, I would put a good red dot on it. A cheap scope comes with the package. Hope this helps.

I didn't realize you were asking about this specific "Strikefire" mount. The email didn't specify the exact item of your question. For the Strikefire Cantilever Mount here is info direct from Vortex:Provides extra rail room for rear Back Up Iron Sights (BUIS) when using the StrikeFire red dot along with the VMX-3T magnifier. The cantilever ring will move the StrikeFire forward about one inch.NoteProvides absolute co-witness mounting height of 37 mm. Will work with most 30 mm red dot sights.Thanks!!

I don't know which truglo red dot you are using. It is about a 2 1/2 inch long rail if that helps.
