Can I leave the iron sights on (a 700 BDL custom deluxe with hooded front sight) and use this medium height mount with a 40mm scope?

I think you will have to use high mounts to clear, it will be close might work.

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.

I have the same exact gun. The answer is yes and no. You can leave the front one on and it will not appear in your scopes view, but the back sight needs to come off, but getting it off is a piece of cake.

i had NO issues, i have a scope on mine, and i can still see my iron sights...but if you want to cut it up.... its yours!!!!!!!

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.

You could use a set of see through rings which mount the scope high with a passage underneath so you can see the sights. Or a quick detach mount or qd rings insread to remove the scope quickly so you can use the iron sights.

Yes you will if you want the iron sights, I put it on a DPMS Panther and used a carry handle with back sights for clearance, sighted the iron sights to 90 yards and the scope to 250 yards. It's pretty comfortable, I went with a Truglow front sight to dress up the iron sights.

No. I had to take the iron sights off. The high point front sight sticks up too high. It would be in your scopes view.

It will probably be too tall. I love the riser though. I needed to get my scope off the upper rail just high enough to be able to put the scope protective caps on. Works like a champ and brings it up to eye level for me. Maybe consider ditching the iron sights you have now and switch to magpuls offset sights. Little pricy but that's what I did. Hope this helps good luck.

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.

No, it's a matter of the height of the rings. If you want to co-witness the scope use a set of low rings, as long as you have some space between the barrel and the scope front bell of the glass you'll be fine. The sights can be removed, if you desire.

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!

You can use medium height rings with the 40mm objective. If you have a rear sight, you may have to remove it. Also, before you totally finish with the mounting, be sure the bolt will clear the scope and rings. Weaver or Leoupold rings should work well.

No the mount is built into the laser sight. As long as you have a rail to mount the sight there shouldn't be a problem.

Due to the 50mm size of the scope you will need the high mounts. Otherwise, the scope will be in contact with barrel and will not allow for proper mounting.

The rail does not obscure the iron sights. They are still usable. This mount does not, however, allow you to co-witness an optic with the irons. An optic blocks the irons when mounted.

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

Depends on your back up iron sights. Diffrent heights require different mounts. My flip up soghts needed the cantilever mount in order for the sight to be cowitness

You can remove it and the mount. I think either configuration has its pros and cons. As for the quality of this scope and back up sight they are very poor. I would keep looking for a better product. I had issues with both the scope and backup sight.
