How is the iron sight feature? Does it do the job, or is it just a token?

Pretty much a token it sits really high which throws off the aim point. The site is interesting. When you look into it, you see a green (night) or red (day) "T". The center dot always points to the place the bullet goes, out to 100 yards. You may see it move around in the view finder. That takes some getting used to but is a neat fizture. No matter where the center of the "T" is, is where the bullet goes. I really like the site.

I think it's more of a "why not" addition... It is usable but you can't expect too much with that sight radius.

On my AR 15, I have flip up iron backup sights should the batteries fail I can flip up front and rear sights looking through my Sightmark, my flip-up sights co-witnesses through my Sightmark. Thanks Jeff

I mounted it in order to install a Bushnel TRS red dot, so no you can no longer use the iron Ruger sights the way I have it set up.

I had good luck with this sight, however my rail system required that my gunsmith place a small shim under the back of the site. I think it is a solid product and the price is right. It also helped my grandson learn to shoot accurately. i can't answer the slight angle movement question, as I didn't experience any problem when shooting at targets.

You can see through the iron sights as well by looking under the scope. Which is fine, but this scope is a hunk of crap. Spend in between 100 and 200 and get a sight that will actually stay zeroed.

It is set up at the standard sight height for an AR. What determines the co-witness capability is the mount height you use for your optic. The mount for your optic will determine whether it will be absolute co-witness, lower third co-witness, or completely prevent you from using the iron sights. Do research on the mounts and optics you want to use. But, this sight won't be the reason why it won't co-witness. It is a standard height iron sight.

it has iron sights on it, and the top rail is removable so you can attach a sight.

I would only reccommend it with pop up sights. My pop up sights align w the center of the optic where the dot would be if the battery fails. Then I can flip up the front sight and use it. If your iron sights are fixed, it may obstruct your vision of the red dot.

I mounted that exact set-up and had good results. It depends a bit on the iron sights, but if you're using the stock sights then it should be no problem.

I tried using the receiver cover with the rails for a scope but I'm not to happy with how it mounts an how high the scope sits on on the gun.... So I got this iron sight because I don't want a scope on my sks... Long story short Idk cuz I only use the iron sight... Haha

I only got one block, but I have been able to move pieces around to change sights on Glocks and XDm. It's kind of rough bit it works.

It will definitely enhance your ability to see the front sight. It is not technically more precise that the stock sight. It really helped me.

I'm running a cheap leapers red/ green dot sight and no problem with its co-witness. Once sighted in it stays on target after numerous times at the range. I take out the bullseye every time and I'm hard on the gun. I've got the a5 version. Stay cheap leapers is the way to go. Get it for 30.00 on amazon. Good luck!

The scope comes off easily but why would you want to remove it. It is actually a red dot / green dot and really accurate. There are no iron sites.

I think he answered your question. The back piece (magnifier) flips over to the side allowing you to use your iron sights through the front eotech circle/dot. Just a pice of my .02cents I Love this combo! Though I have heard great things about the vortex magnifier and may give it a shot. It's over 200 less :/ good luck!

Your right about the guard ring. I don't even see it when I'm sighting. I don`t think it helps in sighting as I consternate on the pins. I do like this sight.

They are both cheap red dot sights. Unlimited eye relieve and your field of view, well its a red dot sight with no magnification so that is on your eyes since its not changing the magnification of what you are viewing. This seems more at the height to cowitness with iron sights on an AR platform and it has the lens covers which are nice.
