How can this scope mounted on a rail see through a fixed front sight which is 1.5" above the rail level?

Assuming possibly a flat top upper. Traditional configuration of a removable A2 carry handle with the scope mounted to the carry handle.

You can buy a 2 inches see through riser you can still see your fixed sight

It's like going to a baseball game and sitting behind homeplate. You don't see the screen in front of you due to the distance. The closer it is the less it allows focus on the front sight!

At close range as you see a slight shadow at longer distances it just disappears

Mine actually cleared it. Doesn't interfere at all, but you could always change to a low profile gas block. I also mounted some flip up a angled sights which work perfectly.

I don't use the rail, I used the standard Ruger mounts. You don't see the front sight.

Not sure what its called, but the front sight will be invisible through the scope.

My AR has a carry handle so mine is mounted on that with a see through mount. I might suggest a set of see through rings. Hope this helps.

I checked the dovetail on the gun and it appears to be level so what I did is take the movable clamp on the sight off. Then I carefully filed the bottom making sure I kept it flat on the file. I did this a little at a time reinstalling it and testing until the cant was gone. The sight is a nice sight is nice but a better mount and adjustment arrows would have been nice.

The one I have is on an AK in order for me to get a better line of vision with a scope. It is not open enough at the bottom to see the rear sight without interference.

Speaking solely for my scope and many other 1-4 scopes it's not a true 1x therefore the front sight does not show up. If you really focus hard you might see it but it's in the bottom 1/3 of the viewing area on a 30mm bodied scope.

The mount goes over the iron sights but there is enough of a gap in between the rail and the sights that you probably could still use the iron sights as well. I've never actually tried it myself but looking at it, it looks pretty possible

Underneath the scope is a permanent mount which is screwed onto the rails. So yes, you can remove two screws and remove the rail but not sure how you would mount it. If you can find a close up of the front of the scope you can see the shape part which is permanent. Not sure I helped...

Can not be lowered the front optic is a few millimeters from the mounting rail. If you can get any lower I would be shocked.

No, I mounted it to the rail and looked through it and I could see the red dot and the front sight. Remember, I was looking down the hallway at home. Out at the range you can't see the red dot in sunlight. It's hard to sight in a scope if you can't see the dot.

From the top of the P-rail to the top of the folded sight is right at one-half inch on the rear sight and nine-sixteenth a of an inch on the front sight. I tried mounting my scope directly to the rail but the sights were just a hair too tall and I had interference from the scope. I had to add a riser to give me clearance. But your scope may not cause problems. That's why I have you the height of the sights from the top of the rail. Overall you will not be disappointed, they are top quality sights and maintain perfect zero after countless deployments.

The top of the sight (tip of protective ears) is 1.5 inches from the top of rail. The opening for the sight post begins @ 1 and 1/8th inches from the top of rail. If buying the front and rear sight set, they are designed to mount on the same plane/rail height. Hope this helps.

You can see through the scope using flip up sights I know, that's how I have my AR set up

It will sit on the top pof the rail so yes more than likely you will see the front sight post in the scope. Really I regret buying this scope. Save up for a better scope. It is poorly made.

This is a general question that applies to all low magnification scopes on ARs with a front sight tower. Here's the problem. If you mount it up high enough so the front sight tower is not in view, then you have mounted the scope too high to get a decent cheek weld. To use a scope like this, you just need to learn to look past the front sight, or put a different gas block on the barrel.

No you will need a riser to clear front sight. Possibly a half inch riser will work.

The "tall mounts" will put the bottom of the scope 1" from the top rail. Centerline of scope is approximately 1 1/2" from top rail. I used the tall mounts so the scope will clear my fold down rear sight.

Same as standard AR sights? About 1.5" to the very top. Another answer said 1.35" ,possibly?

My rifle didn't have iron sights, however with the medium height mounts and the 40 mm scope on a 22-250 varmint special I had less than a 1/8th inch clearance between the scope and bolt handle when the action was cycled. Had to go with the higher mount.
