Are the rings on this too low for an AR-15? Would I be able to get a good sight picture with the ones it comes with?

yes they worked good on my crossbow i think they would work fine on an ar 15

It might show in the scope. The rings are pretty low. I'm running 45 degree offset irons to avoid the chance. You could run the scope with a taller ring though if it became a problem.

mine is on a ruger 10-22 and it is fine for that purpose, it seems well made, but did not impress as particularly robust. If you have something to use it on if it does not suit the ar-15, it is worth the price, but I cannot speak to it's to stand up to heavier sustained shooting

Whether or not your rings are too high depends on how you are built and your intended use, so I cannot answer that. Once properly installed, iron sights use should be possible with or without scope.

Yep. The AR15 model comes with all you need to mount it. You can tell by the price too, without the mount it's about $40 cheaper. This is a great optic for the price. A little bulky, but very good quality. Best of luck!

The scope mounts very close to the rifle with the rings that are included. Also the scope is too long with a short eye relief so you will not have room for any iron sights. I ended mounting some offset iron sights and they work surprisingly well.

To be installed correctly you are going to have to bring these to a gunsmith for custom fitting and alignment or do it yourself if you know how to. They are not a drop in part. That being said I don't see why they wouldn't work for you. In my opinion these sights are great for rapid sight picture alignment in low light conditions.Absolutely love them. Hope it helped.

Sorry, I can't help as I don't have an AR-15. I can say that the sight has a wide range of adjustment.

yes, if your ar is a flat top and you have a low gas block and you use the right rings, you won't have any problems. good luck.

No, the front sights will not be a problem for this scope, provided you have the scope mounted properly. I have this scope with the Nikon mounting rings and I have no issues whatsoever with the front sights on an AR15 application.

It sits kinda high,you would have to run low scope rings to get a good line of site.also you might want to check how it moi ts on the rifle itself cause mine was not true the mount pointed the front of my scope down using the 91/30 shi.s that co.e with the kit.I suggest spending the extra money and getting a proper mount for the rifle Russian side mount or the rock solid mount

Yeah, you should be fine. Ghost ring sights are a little higher, but there was plenty of clearance.

Well the rail is low, but you cannot see the iron sights like it said in the ad. I never put it on the gun, so I never got to the ring phase. I suspect any would work, it just a matter of your cheek weld and what is most comfortable.

I am not exactly sure what you are asking but I have this scope mounted on a Ruger 10/22 with low profile base and rings to get the objective within a hair of the barrel. I may(?) be wrong but I don't think you will find a scope mount and rings combination that will be too low to accommodate this scope. If I have not completely answered your question or you still have concern, recommend call Leupold customer service. They are user friendly and will go out of their way to answer your question more specifically.

I had to use high rings as well as the UTG, but it works great. with just UTG and standard rings I had a shadow in the lower reticle. I recommend high rings with the UTG, it also helps to clear the charging mechanism of the AR's.

i've never held an ar-15. they work real good on an sks and marlin 60. utg makes quality products.

Should work fine...if not, send it back. I have sent back several ring sets for height issues. If you are mounting these rings on a high powered rifle you may want to conicider a higher quality ring set. These rings have a fiber lineing that helps to grip the scope tube. Thats good if you are not looking to hit sub MOA accuracy. With these rings I can hit a beer can at 100 yards but cannot shoot a group tighter than 2 inches at 100 yards.
