What additional mounts do you need to still use iron sights? Or does this set up allow you to use the iron sights?

I have an older marlin 30-30 so maybe that's why I'm able to still use sights.

with the provided mounts you will not be able to use the iron sights. You will need extend ring mounts

This mount works fantastic. I am running a Strikefire with iron sights and a magnifier. As for it working as a primary optic mount, it would be my first choice.

I've had no issue, I checked this against the iron sights before installing a different configuration and it seemed to be spot on.

Yes. You can cowitness your iron sights and the Scope. I use the lowest scope-mounts on it.

Yes, it is possible to fit optics on this gun. THIS GUN CAN NOT SUPPORT A RAIL which means you have to get a specialized red dot sight (or something along the lines) that fits right over the iron sight. I personally like the iron sights but a red dot should work fine

It does. It feels as if it part of the original gun. What I also like about it is that you can still use your iron sights with the mount and scope on it.

i had NO issues, i have a scope on mine, and i can still see my iron sights...but if you want to cut it up.... its yours!!!!!!!

By raising the scope you can use a lower power scope, which will allow you to use at short range and still be able to have your iron sights as backup. I would talk to others and maybe take a look at their comments.

It comes with the ironsight that you see. I bought a mountable red dot on the gun though.

You would need see-through scope mounts. I have a red-hot on my 10-22 have I can't use the iron sights. No scope, no problem

no iron sights, so that is a disadvantage if you want them. The RWS comes with iron sights but no scope. I have not taken the scope off the RWS since I bought it, thus it has not been a problem for me, but if you like open sights then this is an important detail. The Gamo Whisper appears to have both scope and iron sights.

unsure tom, but i have a see thru mount to allow a scope and iron sights at the same time, they work well set at 50yds for me with it, and i imagine the clearances would be the same for you. i would suggest a different mount personally.

Yes. You can still see through the iron sights below the scope mount. I recommend adding an adjustable cheek rest to your buttstock to accommodate using the scope or the iron sights are required while still maintaining a good "stock weld." An Archangel (if on a budget) or JAE (if money is no problem) drop in stock works great.

No. You can not use the iron sights. The rail is the exact same hight as the sights

I use magpul sights. The basic mount does not absolute cowitness. I would try the cantilever mount.

No, you cannot see the iron sights when installed, so must commit to optics.

My gun came with open sights(no mount). At $250. from AOA, I'm not complaining.
