I have a Remington 870 with a Tru Glo red dot scope. Would like to be able to see iron sights below the red-dot. It has the picatiny rail. Work?

if not you can put 1" riser blocks under Neath the see thru mounts that is the way I did it on my smith & Wesson p22 I have the laser under Neath my barrel and a big scope on top and can see my iron sights with no problem so if it don't work just with the scope mounts you can but 1" riser monts form Amazon and I know that worked for me

Trent, Are you talking about having this scope on a Mosin? If so, you must remove the rear sight to install the rail the scope attaches to. That rail is 4 inches. So, you cannot use the iron sights with this scope installed on a Mosin. BTW, this scope has a very long eye relief which is perfect for the Mosin.TC

I mounted standard flip up iron sights in my AR. You can see the sights great right through the multi dot. Don't know why the reticle on top or a later on the side wouldn't work also. Very versital!

Reading some of the other reviews, others have put this sight in Remington 870s and Mossberg 500s. I plan to put one on a 500 myself.

It clamps to a Weaver Rail. Picatiny rail is wider and the clamps on the bottom of the red dot would not open wide enough.

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.

Very easily. I use a different mount for another purpose but it's great to have the picatinny mount if you need it. What a great red dot sight.

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.

The iron sights that came with the 10/22 will not continue to work as this rail mounts in place of the rear sight on top of the main body. So you can have either the iron sights mounted or the rail - not both as they use the same mounting holes. There is another rail available that comes with a built-in rear peep sight but this one also requires replacing the front sight as well with an included fiber optic fire-light type because the hight of the rear sight is taller and won't align with the factory front sight. it is shown on the Ruger web site and is listed as "10/22 Ace in the Hole Set" The iron sights that came with the 10/22 will not continue to work as this rail mounts in place of the rear sight on top of the main body.

Mine fits just a smidge off from the nut as well. If you can get it to bite down it should be just fine. With the rail system yes picatinny is different, but there are some sights that can fit both types of rail systems. Luckily picatinny rail system is fairly popular and you should not have a problem finding a sight for it. Only problem you will have is finding a good sight to keep its zero. Hope this helps and if any other questions shoot them my way.

Should fit standard Pic Rail, I like this dot, put it on my moms AR very accurate, easy to adjust, don't like the Eotechs, the dot is too obtrusive.That's my 2 cents anyway. Be sure to turn dot off, otherwise it will drain the battery, that'd be my only complaint.

This type of mount requires you to remove the scope/red dot to use iron sights. You don't have to remove the rail though, which is due to the sighting slot cut down the center of the rail. They are called see through because normal picatinny rails don't have this slot.

You could use a set of see through rings which mount the scope high with a passage underneath so you can see the sights. Or a quick detach mount or qd rings insread to remove the scope quickly so you can use the iron sights.

No need for the picitanny rail, just take it off the gsg5 and this sight sits directly on the rifle :) also it cowitnesses great !

I don't know which truglo red dot you are using. It is about a 2 1/2 inch long rail if that helps.

I have a flatop 9mm AR with the this tru glo red dot sight mounted forward on the rail, with the flip up rear magpul sight to the rear of the rail and with the magpul up, it actually co-witnesses with each other, flipped down it's totally out of the way of the tru glo sight!

I came here just to answer this question since it was one of my top concerns with choice-of-rail. You can absolutely see the iron sites on the 2014 10/22 takedown. You'll need see-through rings, or quick-detach rings. I was looking at this rail and the UTG Low Profile Rail Mount. I bought both. This rail, the promag, is better... its wide valley offers improve field-of-view.
