Will the height clear the fixed front sight without using risers?

Measure the sight to the rail and the check the measurements of your optic to the rail.Put your optic on 2 stacks of pennies. Build them up until they clear the sight. Measure the penny stack and compare to the specs on the rail. How far the bell of your scope goes is what is going to make the determination of whether it will clear the sight.

No, but it doesn't matter, your scope will not focus on the front sight. It is hard to understand, but it is not an issue. This is my favorite scope mount. I have 5.

On my SBR AR 15 it does clear the front sight. On my LMT, LWRC REPR and AR 10 in 7. 62 Nato, the front sights are removable. I have used scopes for the .223 and .308 in this mount.

As long as the flip sights are in the down position, you won't have any viewing obstruction from the font sight and it should just barely clear the height of the rear sight when your scope is positioned over it.

I' say about an inch high. I put them on my AR 15 and they clear the front sight post off the sight picture when using my rifleman scope. I hope it helps.

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 necessarily but you probably won't know until after the install to see how it shoots. I put this one on because the original front sight post was too high and this fixed the problem.

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.

No. I had to take the iron sights off. The high point front sight sticks up too high. It would be in your scopes view.

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.

It's giving you about a 1" rise, probably not enough rise to see over the front sight

I have a similar sight, same style, different brand name. This riser gives the actual red dot a height of 1.5 inches above your flat top. Also,the 5 slots line up to the exact length of the mount on the bottom of the sight. Hope that helps.

Depends on your back up iron sights. Diffrent heights require different mounts. My flip up soghts needed the cantilever mount in order for the sight to be cowitness

I have a magpul flip up rear sight, I have 1/2 inch risers so the scope will clear it when in the down position.

From the top of the rail to the top of the sight, in the flipped up position, is 1.5 inches. Though I haven't done it myself, I wouldn't be surprised if some shooters use a riser under them.

Probably. I put mine on a M&P; 15-22. I used a 1/2" riser as well to clear the factory sights.

I dont believe it is high enough this sight's front post tip sits about 1 3/4 from my rail you might have to use a rail riser

Yes. The sight post has a spring loaded pin to keep it in place. The pin can be depressed to allow for elevation adjustment or sight pin removal

Front sight would be in the field of view unless you mounted this with a riser rail.

There are a number of heights offered. The height you need for front sight depends on, inter alia, what you have as a rear sight.
