My M&P 15 has a removable rear sight but has a fixed front sight post. Will this scope sit high enough so that the front sight is not interfering?

It does not interfere with sight in and firing. You can barely see a blurred image of the tip of the front post when looking through the scope. Since the scope is magnified it does not focus on the post.

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.

We installed the Optics on an MP5 that has Fixed Iron sight that stand roughly 3/4 to 1 inch tall and it easily cleared them. The optics comes with a very tall riser built onto it.It is a marvelous optic for a very reasonable price

Yes...I Also have fixed front post on my ar15 and it doesn't interfere. Good scope too.

The reflex doesn't sit high enough to keep front sights, had to remove them on my M&P; 15

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.

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.

I have the colt le ar and I ended up taking the front sight post off. It got in the way of the scope sighting. Hope that answers your question..

I had to install a weaver rail to the top of receiver on my Pardner. I mounted the sight over the back half of the breech. It should not matter where you put it though.

depends on your rings that you use. that will determine whether the scope will hit the rear gun sight.

I just pulled up images of the M&P; Sport and it appears they are all flat top rail guns, as long as you have standard rails as I believe the mp15 sport does it will mount up without any problems. That there is a quick release mountain available for this scope but it is an option for convenience not a requirement.

The rear is not tall enough to work with fixed A2 front sight. You'll have to mount it on a riser rail, prob 1/2" rise.

That is almost exactly the set-up I have, and yes it puts the scope up high enough to clear the front sight. It seems to be well-made. I have no regrets!

No, the front sights will not be a problem for this scope, provided you have the scope mounted properly. I have this scope with the Nikon mounting rings and I have no issues whatsoever with the front sights on an AR15 application.

his sight has a height of approx. 1.38" to top of post. I say approximaely because this will depend on adjusted height. Use this on a rail or rail height gas block, NOT the normal height gas block. This will work with any flat top with any standard rear sight. There will be a problem using it with an A1 or A2 upper receiver as the post height will be approximately 0.30" that that on a non F-marked sight base. Not a major deal as long as you are aware and can make adjustments.

This is high enough to co-witness. IMO you wouldn't want a scope to be high enough to completely look over the front sight that wouldn't offer a good check weld or shooting position. Your crosshairs will be looking through the front sight post. If you are using 3x and up magnification you most likely will not see the front sight A2 post. If that is a problem change out the A2 for a gas block with folding front sight.

Yes, I mounted a 3x9 scope on a M&P; Sport and don't notice the front sight.

I found the A2 replica front post sight to be very close to the M16 upper receiver A2 sight post which is a fixed post. What make this sight nice is that it is removable. However, I have a 1 x 4 power scope mounted on a 1 inch riser. I leave the front A2 mil spec attached for looks, it does not affect my scopes sight picture. I also have a carrying handle with integrated manual backup mil spec peeps, just in case my scope loses it's zero. With just a few twist of the binding posts' and a swap out, I am back in action!

If the rear sight is removed yes it will for sure and if not it should still work it just will sit farther forward.

Yes, this scope will mount directly to the top rails on your S&W; M&P; 15/22. Unless you use a riser to raise the height of scope, you would need to remove your front/rear sights so they would not interfer with your line of sight while using this scope.
