Do you need a picatinnay riser for this as well or is the riser user specific for ease of line of sight?

Yes , I needed a picatinnay riser I used the Barska riser it works great . The exit lens is to large to use without but lines up well.

Yes, in that you can run this without impacting the functionality of your fixed front sight. I run this without an elevated riser. The front post does not get in the way and co-witness is achievable with a fixed front sight.

Yeah. The vortex also comes with a riser piece to level it out on optics that are higher

If its not on a riser then I would return the scope, I have used many of these on my line and not had that issue at all !!

i use the medium riser on a s&w; m&p; 15-22 on which is mounted a bushnell trs-25 red dot. the mbus rear folding sight "appears" to co-witnesses perfectly with the red dot and mbus front folding sight. i use the word "appears" because the co-witness was completed with a bore sight and not by target firing.

The sight will 1/3 co-witness with the irons depending on what sights you are using. I am currently using gen 2 magpul Mbps sights. The emitter in the sight is located at 5 o'clock and partially blocks the front sight so that you can see the FS post and the left blade. Personally I would buy the sight w/o the hi rise block and invest in a better mount. Daniel Defense makes a absolute co-witness riser that runs around $60 on amazon. Good luck

First of all I needed a short and low riser. Went with a Yankee hill for 14 bucks on Amazon. I have used a few front sights, but right now I have a polymer diamondhead with adjustable post. I wanted all the sights lined up for light or dark conditions. Could not clear without the riser.

If you are talking about an A2 style fixed front sight, than YES, you ABSOLUTELY need a riser mount to clear the front sight with this scope. The included quick detach mount is very low profile, and if you mount directly to the receiver rails the front sight post will totally block your view if you have an A2 style front sight. I had to buy a 1 inch riser for it to clear the A2 sight

I didn't need a riser. It appeared as though there was adequate height to the optic itself. But to be fair I didn't keep it on my weapon very long.

That would depend on your sight and your weapon system. My sight is approx 1.5 inches to center and using this riser on my flat-top AR, I get FULL co-witness (NOT lower 1/3). Since both my front and rear sight fold down, full co-witness is my preference.

It's not a necessity. I run mine with the mounts it came with. It is definitely usable out of the box. I've seen a lot of people run scopes higher though.

Any standard rail accessory will work with this riser. I put a pistol laser on it without issue.

Personal I chose a 1 inch riser...it works great, just remember to use a lock tight on the screws.

No it does not come with a riser, why would you need one? What are you putting it on? Talk to people you know and trust like the gun shop where you bought it or a gunsmith where you can get some sound advice.

The riser on this model is 1" I typically use a .8 or .75. This is set for what is called a 1/3 co-witness. If you could use a lazer chamber bore sight. it may help. What I am saying is the mount is a bit tall. This might be the issue. I will say that I have mounted probably 30 of these units and I have never had a bad unit, I have had bad mounts.

It requires a riser. Tge rings that ship with the scope do not allow the front objective to clear the rail or barrel.

Find out which type of mount you have on your ruger. (I.E. - Dovetail, weaver or picatinny) This riser will fit only on a picatinny rail. I dont think you will need a riser on a 10/22 unless you are running an aftermarket stock system like an A.R.style stock. Do some more research before buying.
