If I mount this on a project salvo (and other army markers i guess) does this get on the way of a red dot sight?

You can turn the hopper 180 and it will clear the sight, but I'm using a offset sight now. That works better for both clearing the hopper, but more importantly I can actually use the sight w/ my mask on.

It will center with most any red dot. Just make sure its elevation is right.

If you have a rail height gas block then mount it there. I like to have the sights as far apart as possible - I get better MOA.

Dennis,I don't know as I am not familiar with the Strikfire red dot system.Mark

It did move my sight picture above the front sight for my red dot, yes. It doesn't seem to add enormous weight IMO.

Yes. You'll need a rail from Ruger or other mfg and the trujicon mount for your sight. I have similar set up,on my 22/45, though with a different red dot sight. Works great.

It should be fine mounted on the front end of the picatinny rail. The LaserLyteis excellent in dim light situations, not so great in daylight. I also mount a red dot optic on the rail for daylight applications.

Iron sights may still be used, the upper part of the mount is above the sight-line for the iron sights. I highly recommend this mount, but also highly recommend following the installation instructions provided.

There are HIGH mounts available but then that creats another problem for sight alignment. YES.. the post would show in your scope.

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.

No. Keep it on the rail, don't put it on the gas block if the gas block rail is lower. Your sights won't line up like they should if you do.

The dust cover rail is the absolute worst option for mounting a sight, but yes it will fit on it. I highly doubt it will hold a zero at all though.

The sight sits kinda high above your rail, so yes, you should be fine. Mine has a flat front gas book and so front sights would not be an issue for me. It may be visible if you have a raised front gas block, but should not obstruct your crosshairs.

You can remove the red dot, but I'm not sure about putting it at a 45 degree mount. It's a micro red dot

Yes. It's handled it on mine just fine. Not like there's much to throw off on a red dot anyway.

It will all depend on your preference since everyone's tastes are different. The red dot will mount pretty flush with your rail so just keep that in mind.
