You will need a riser. I found one at Academy for about $30.00. Works great and scope is very accurate.

It's a magnified optic, so co-witness isn't something that can be done. Hope this helps.

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

It doesn't have the same height as the front sight on my standard mil-spec flat top ar15 front sight. I bought this based on these answers saying it was the correct height but it isn't high enough without buying a 1/2" riser

I assume you have decided you really need a riser and cannot make do with high or extra-high scope rings. Make sure the length of the riser is a good match with the length of the rail on the AR7. Both should be the same length or the riser slightly shorter than the rail of the gun. If you need closer eye relief for an optic, just adding this riser won't help and you should consider buying an offset riser having a cantilevered extension on one end. Since the 1913 Picatinny rail is a military standard design, all such rails will fit together if the lengths are compatible.

I have mine on a S&W; MnP 5.56. It took some wrenching on the bolts to fully tighten. Once it is tight it sits a little low for you taste. I suggest a riser of about 1/4 inch for comfort.

Mine was UTG 3x9-32. I did add a 1/2" riser (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Z5C0SQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) to allow clearance over Flip-up rear backup sight. The offset Mount with the riser allowed plenty of clearance over rear site and charging handle, lots of clearance over mil-spec fore end. Wish there was some way to add picture.

Yes, it should be enough. Risers just allow you to not strain your neck as much while trying to weld your cheek to the stock of your rifle. The only draw back is the amount of offset. I use a 3-9x42 scope with this riser and it brought the scope up to a very comfortable position; while also bringing the scope up high enough as to not have it black the charging handle.

On my ar15A3 it fit just right and with a little adjustment on the range it was dead on without the riser. So go for it it is a good buy and quality.

Depends on the sight that you are using. I am using a Bushnell 3x9x40 I tried it with and without a riser. Without the riser it was clear of the sight. But i am also using a redfeid red dot with laser and found that it will not clear the front sight without a riser. I also have discovered that the Bushnell works very well with the set up. without the riser I can centre my Bushnell scope to the A2 front site for deadly accurate distance shot. It is a good mount for AR platform. I hope this helps.

Yes, but you'll need a picatinny riser if you have an A2 sight... otherwise you end up with a clearance issue

Yes, the picatinny is how it is mounted. As for the sights, it would be totally dependent on what kind of scope you are using. I personally used a Bushnell 3x9x40 with this riser and my sight lens had roughly 1/2'' clearance above my rail.
1359538
yes, that is what I have, but you will need a 1/2" riser to cowitness with your front A2 and rear MBUS sights
622007
Correct you will need the riser for 1/3 co witness. If you are shooting with both eyes open as you should even without the riser and absolute co witness you really don't see the front sight. My rear sight is fold down so that isn't an issue.

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 -

im not exactly sure since i'm not familiar with your rifle. I have the standard A2 front sight and a rear magpul flip up (probably as you do). I had to switch the highrise to a shorter one (from UTG) to get a better lower 1/3 co-witness. the high rise mount the TRS-25 came with was a little high. good luck

This riser will work on any standard rail on an AR15. The question is what is the height of the device that you're going to mount on it. It matched to a Bushnell TRS25 on an S&W; VTAC-2 perfectly.
