Has anyone used the UTG 1 inch mount w/a leatherwood camputer rifle scope which is an auto range/trajectory I will mount on a AR15 with a fixed front sight.

I used this to mount a red dot for the same problem that you are describing. The AR I mounted it on has an integrated front iron sight. Like you are describing it interferes but I am not going to be the fool that screws with a iron sight from the SigSauer factory. This rail perfectly raises the sight just above the front sight so that the sight is usable and not a problem. This is definately the way to go. Hopefully I have answered the question let me know if not.

I have this riser mount in my S&W; M&P; 15 with a regular 32x scope and the front post doesn't interfere with the scope view. I'm sure you won't have any problem with the auto range either. Without the riser the post is just below the center. I also have to say this little riser is surprisingly well made and for the price is a steal

Right now my son has a small 4x scope mounted with only 1 to get it far enough back on a bolt action .22. It holds zero and was making a 3" group at 75 yards. On a larger caliber with more recoil you may have trouble but for our application it works.

You may have noticed that the UTG Medium Profile Riser Mount with 3 slots was listed along with this sight and that mount is generally good to co-witness your AR-15 iron sights. I have had to also use the Low Profile version on some guns but Medium should be fine.

I've shot a wide range on caliber weapons (.22LR to 30-06) with this sight and never had an issue. UTG make a really robust sight system.

I have an A1 front sight on my BCM AR15 and ordered the med. riser to mount the UTG CQB on. It worked perfectly and the scope is amazing for the price!

Not adjustable to the extent you need it. I would look for a different height sight or you can get a profile riser mount (UTG sells one for about 8 bucks, and you can get them in different heights). Hope this helps -

It has cowitnessed great on both my ARs, one with a fixed front sight and another with a BUS flip up on a block. Holds up well to .223. Looks like holding up well with ~300 rounds through an AR in 7.62 as well. These are good sights for the $$. I worried alot about co-witnessing at first, but I found that once I get it sighted I just need to bear down on the rifle and put the dot on the target and it is on. I do not try and ensure it co-witnesses before I fire, but if I do put the dot on the very top of the front sight post it is also on the money. I actually use it with the front sight down on the one rifle now (after sighting it) and it is golden...

I have this Bushnell TRS-25 on my AR-15 mounted to a UTG # RS08S3 3 Slot medium profile riser mount. My AR-15 is stock with the A2 front sight. This mount allows co-existing sights to be used in case of battery fail. That way back up sights are a click away.

Yes it comes with mounting screws an nuts, may even come with the Alen wrench I can't remember for sure. I have a Sniper brand quick detach mount on mine and it works fine. Not sure about the utg but I should.

As far as rouged and lasting I have it mounted on a 1911 .45acp and have put over 2K rounds down range with it attached. The AK is a great rifle however I would look into the Streamlight for the AR/AK platform not the handgun model. I would not personnal put this on my rifle I would use the Crimson Trace light/ lazer combo vert grip or the larger Streamlight for your application. All that said it also depends on what your doing with it, hunting hogs? get a flood light, home defence- I wouldnt use an AK...

Not sure, took the carry handle off A3 and put the utg and a scope on works fine. The front sight shows in the scope but does not cause any problem.

It takes 1" mounts. If you're mounting it on an AR-15, I highly recommend the Nikon P Series mounts. Also sold by Amazon. On mine, I simply removed the carrying handle on the AR, and using the Nikon P Series mounts, mounted on right on top of the receiver. You might think that the front sight would be in the way, but it's not. This is a great combination. If I might make one more suggestion. If you are mounting it on an AR-15, I highly recommend you get a Sightmark laser boresight. I have them in 223, 25-06, 270,and 30-06. Also sold by Amazon. They will save you a lot of time and ammo. I sure hope this helps you. If you have any other questions, I'll be glad to try and answer them for you. It takes 1" mounts.

I couldn't honestly tell you if it will clear a "triangle gas block" cause all I can think of as a triangle gas block is the front sight and gas block in one. If that's what you have I again couldn't speak to the compatibility of this scope mount with a actual front sight seeing as I have a flat top. I would how ever recommend a 45 degree off set scope mount if you have a front sight, and add a rear sight and your red-eye to engage down range as most any distance. If I hadn't gotten the flat top that would have been my set up of choice. Happy trails and may your bullets always go bang.

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.

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.

Yes, it comes with utg mounts, but if this is for an ar15 or other black rifle, then a riser mount is needed. You can use it without the riser but good luck getting the proper sight picture or a cheek weld. :) also a nice set of 45 degree offset back up iron sites is awesome with this scope. Hope it helps!

I am 100% certain that the mount will not hold a 1 inch scope securely. The curvature of the mount is greater than the scope forcing you to use a shim.
