It really depends on the height of your rear sight when folded down. In order to clear you would have to have a low profile rear sight to clear your scope

Mr. Money and lvp pretty well summed it up. There are commercial adapters to raise the sighter above the spud, or you could make your own. I use the Bushnell whenever I can, but have a 5.56 laser sighter in the drawer just for these cases. Good luck!

From the top of the P-rail to the top of the folded sight is right at one-half inch on the rear sight and nine-sixteenth a of an inch on the front sight. I tried mounting my scope directly to the rail but the sights were just a hair too tall and I had interference from the scope. I had to add a riser to give me clearance. But your scope may not cause problems. That's why I have you the height of the sights from the top of the rail. Overall you will not be disappointed, they are top quality sights and maintain perfect zero after countless deployments.

Yes, that should work, provided that your existing optics rest at 1.5" above the rail.

I'm VERY happy with my Butler Creek Flip-Up covers. VERY. JUST make SURE you measure the size of your scope PERFECTLY before you order a size. You don't want them on the bigger side, even if you are 1mm too small...it just makes for an even better SNUG fit.

Yes, I guess it ultimately depends on the sights and the model though really. I have a Ruger SR-556, with the stock flip up sights and the visibility actually works pretty well looking through this Eotech, approximately 2/5 of the way up the glass maybe? Not right in the middle, which would be perfect, but plenty usable without having to remove the system. I had to move the sights back and forth a little to make everything fit the way I wanted but it looks good.

It depends on how high up your red dot optic is above the rail. You can easily get a riser rail for a few bucks if it doesn't.

The "tall mounts" will put the bottom of the scope 1" from the top rail. Centerline of scope is approximately 1 1/2" from top rail. I used the tall mounts so the scope will clear my fold down rear sight.

I have a 556, not a 512. Main diff is the quick detach on 556 I think. It is not recomended to overhang the 556. I would test whether you would be comfortable overhanging your 512 before I would assume it fits. Test whether it seems secure enough if about half was hanging over yout delta ring. IMO, I wouldnt. If SHTF, and eotech fails, you can still use center of glass to line up frony sight for shooting. Will work at close quarters.

in most cases, as long as the sight rings are at least 1/4" high, the rear folding sight will fit under the scope. I have a different scope but the same rear folding sight and it's no problem.

You will need scope rings, 1", height is by preference, I installed on a Ruger Hunter 7.5". Very nice scope

I'm jealous, wish I had a Ruger 10/22. The "flip-over" clamps fit a picatiny rail, or standard (11mm?) sight slots on a air rifle. It worked great on both my applications: 1) Existing picatiny rails on "AR-15 look-alike" Mosberg 715T 22LR; And 2) existing standard (11mm?) sight slots on a Gamo air rifle .177

The 13 slot riser is real close to 5 and 3/4" long, just a hair short. I recall it being advertised as 5.7" somewhere else. In my case I want the scope mounts as far apart as possible, and it works well for a variety of 3-12X42 or so variables that I have. It will mount on the Flattop action, but I set it up to cross over onto the hand guard rail as well for more eye relief.

If you are mounting this front flip up sight on a (flat top weaver rail) it will be perfect for a rear sight such as a (carry handle rear sight). It measures 1-1/2" from the top of the weaver rail to the very top of the overall sight, wich is above the sight post that you will use for sighting in your weapon. I have this flip up sight on my flat top(ar15) and it works great. I have a carry handle rear sight, and a flip up (low profile) front utg sight. IF you are getting this sight to flip down so you can use optics you'll be fine. Be careful because... utg also makes a flip up sight that is not a (LOW). It all depends on the rear sight. Good luck!

I installed on AR with 7/8" Rail 30 mm Scope, you need to know what size Rail & Scope Dia.hope this helpsWH

The rings I have are about 3/16" above the rail. Meaning that they are obscenely low if you are wanting something tight to the barrel. If you have a scope with larger lenses you may want to go with a midrange height mount.

Claudia,I just checked and no, not tall enough, not with my big Nikon Buckmaster 4.5x14x44. I have the magpull polymer flip up sights (not sure if gen 2) that I got about 10 months ago. They WILL fit on my Rock River AR that I have a Burris PERP mount and big Vortex Diamondback 3.5x10x50 on because it is taller than the TMS mount. I would get the Burris PERP if you really want the Magpul sights backing up a scope. Those Magpul sights work great with the Vortex SPARC red dot scope; co witness just fine, when I use them on my AR's.
