is optic NIB and does it cowitness with fixed AR front sight?
2049733
yes, it is NIB and I contacted Aimpoint the S/N checked out ok.depends on your front sight, you might need to get a different mount for it to either absolute cowitness or 1/3 upper or lower cowitness

If you order new, it should be new. It will cowitness with an "F" marked front sight.

I'm afraid I can't say positively; it's on a flat top with a gas block front base to keep the line of sight clear of obstructions. I put Midwest Industries folding front and rear sights on and it co-witnesses them but low in the Aimpoint's field of view. I would think, in use with a normal height front sight, it would be more towards center.

Yes, the 'V Brite' is the illuminated version - for the center dot only. It is not 'daylight bright' - so if you are expecting something like an Aimpoint - it isn't. I don't find that to be a problem - when it is bright daylight out I prefer the black dot - when the light is flat and low I like the red. Has worked very well for my entry level 3 gun needs.

It is redisigned. So far it is true to form. There is no need to adjust for sights if at 25yards. Anything below that, then you need to take that into account on your aim.

JJ350, I have a AimPoint with a magnifier on a M-4 platform, works well, but you have to swing the magnifier into place to go from 1X to 3X. I bought the Burris for 3-gun competition and is mounted on Colt 3-gun ready platform. The Burris XTR 1x4 scope comes with a holographic red dot that i mounted on top and good for close targets, for targets 50-200 meters downrange, I get into the scope and I added a speed ring for quick access from 2X to 4X. I can dial it up shooting or running. The glass is very clear and has held up very nicely so far. (6mos) Well worth the money and comes with the mount as well. You mount it, zero it, shoot it.

I found the A2 replica front post sight to be very close to the M16 upper receiver A2 sight post which is a fixed post. What make this sight nice is that it is removable. However, I have a 1 x 4 power scope mounted on a 1 inch riser. I leave the front A2 mil spec attached for looks, it does not affect my scopes sight picture. I also have a carrying handle with integrated manual backup mil spec peeps, just in case my scope loses it's zero. With just a few twist of the binding posts' and a swap out, I am back in action!

Yes you can. Has rails on top for sights. I use fastfire ( Burris ) You can put on Doktor, EOTech or any type of sight. If you don't want to have a reflex sight, the mount comes with upper rings without a rail.

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!

Yes - you absolutely can use the PRO with iron sights on an AR-15 pattern rifle. With the included mount, the red dot should be an absolute co-witness with your fixed iron sights. You can buy another mount later if you would like the iron sights to be lower in the sight picture at a 1/3 co-witness level.

I have it set up on my AR and it has it's short comings. I would prefer the sights to be alittle higher. If you're not running back up iron sights then it works great.

NcStar red dot sight is easily mountable on a picatinny rail (I have mounted my own). The quick release also makes very easy to remove & re-mount.

Yes. You can get the next version of it with drop compensation as well. I prefer this reticle/optic for close to mid range engagements but if you wish to engage past 300 meters get the one with drop comp

my ar is a flattop but i do not think the sightmark will clear your fixed front sight without a modified mount. it is my understanding that most people co-witness the red dot with the front sight.

Yes, as good as fixed sights on any weapon. You have to adjust them by test firing and learn how to align them with your target & compensate for distance & windage. You're still better off with a scope.

On my SBR AR 15 it does clear the front sight. On my LMT, LWRC REPR and AR 10 in 7. 62 Nato, the front sights are removable. I have used scopes for the .223 and .308 in this mount.

I have a GG&G 1281 Flip Up Front Sight. They work well together. Make sure that if you go that route, pick the sight that fits what your gun has. Some gas blocks are lower than the plane of where the rear sight mounts. If that's the case, choose the one that specifies "for gas block mounting." Mine happens to be the same plane all the entire length of the rifle, so this one worked fine. It's all aluminum and matches the finish on my rifle very well. Flip ups are nice when you opt to run optics also. Likewise, for red dots, it can cowitness if desired. A good red dot will not require a cowitness. The sight pops up with authority and locks in place. Once locked, it's very solid and steady. To fold, just press the button once more and fold it down...again solid engagement. There are many other sights to choose from. Some excessively high dollar ones that do the same job. As a Soldier with over 24 years experience with this particular platform and various sights and optics, as long as it's zeroed properly and remains undamaged, it'll perform better than the shooter for years to come. The front sight tool that this sight uses is the four prong one. For only a few bucks, it's worth buying it as well. The other option is to use a nail or the tip of a bullet to depress and move the sight as needed...usually causing little scratches where the tool does not. Hope this helps. Hit me up if you ever have more questions that I may possibly have an answer to.

I believe the clarity is better. I like the quick throw lever and the scope looks better on an ar than the mtac in my opinion. Ironically i bought this scope to replace a burris mtac. As far as the main benefit goes, the ffp reticle, do your own research to determine if its the thing for you. From a tactical perspective ffp is the way to go. Bottom line, I love it, and would def recommend.
