Can you still use the iron sights with this scope mount attached. I have a Gamo Silent Cat ?

No the opening is too narrow and the rings sit too low. It is a solid base for any scope but if rifle has recoil detent the screw must be secured in place or the base will slide back over time/use.

Not likely if your objective lens is any larger than a straight tube. Look at it closely. And even with no scope in the mount at all the mount's stand-off from the receiver will probably interfere with a good sight picture with your iron sights. All this being said, this is a rock solid mount when installed properly. I'll sell you my Leupold see-thru's cheap. They are beautiful but your Silent Cat will make them move- and useless.

No, you will not be able to use the rail and still see the iron sights. A set of Leupold 57323 rings will attach directly to the receiver and allow you to see the iron sights.

i have mounted a RED Dot Sight and it works perfect for my use, I Haven't install anything else. But i'm almost totally sure that with a red dot is more than you will need.

Yes it will...but you may have to use a riser mount so that the sight of the scope is higher than your front sight.Also, you could remove your front sight altogether but (you would lose your ability to use iron sights then)

You will have to remove the iron sights, the only place they could be mounted on the dovetail would require their removal. The iron sights themselves are really nice to use however, this is the sort of gun that I can't really imagine a person wanting to use a laser sight on.

The type of rail you use will decide if the iron sights are usable. I have the Brass Stacker rail and yes, I can use the iron sights too.

Yes, however you are going to need a 1/2 inch picatiny riser to allow the scope to cowitness the rear and front sights. Cowitnessing means that the sights/dots on the scope fall perfectly in line with your iron sights.

You would need see-through scope mounts. I have a red-hot on my 10-22 have I can't use the iron sights. No scope, no problem

It will fit your gamo silent cat. I have mine on another model gamo. Really great fit and has no movement at all. I would think it would be tall enough but mine does not have the suppressor.

There are two pins on the iron sights, you will need to pound those out and mount it on top the existing iron sights.

I'm not 100% sure, I dont have one of those. I think it will mount on the dovetail when you remove the iron sight

Yeah I shoot my Gamo silent cat all the time. Maybe switch out the end from push button to the one you grab to turn on.

I believe that you can by unscrewing the brackets which hold it in place on the top of the gun. I have not done so, but if you read the reviews about the gun, others have mentioned that they have taken the red dot sight off the gun.

Yes you can still use iron sights. Not sure if it will fit. I had to use a drimel to shave a little off to fit. It almost fit when got it in was just taking forever with a hand file. I have a Chinese sks

This type of mount requires you to remove the scope/red dot to use iron sights. You don't have to remove the rail though, which is due to the sighting slot cut down the center of the rail. They are called see through because normal picatinny rails don't have this slot.

Once you remove the sight completely ,there is a dove tail mount available. you will need a long eye releif scope, this mount will place the scope about 6" further up the barrell than a regular scope. Unless you change the bolt this is your only option, even after you change the bolt, and locate the scope in @ it's usual position, you have to give up the clip aqction and the rifle become a single shot, as now the scope is in the way.... nothing is ever easy????? here is what I did for whatever it is worth , bought the ZSUN optics specialty mount@ 8" long, turned it around and mounted a 2X red dot.... I am very happy with this configuration and would recommend giving it a try.

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.
