I have a S&amp;W M&amp;P Sport 15 with fixed front sight. Will i require a riser to mount/use this sight? TY

I received my order on 9.9.14 have not used this yet. Also purchased 1" riser but don't think I need. In same order have Field Sport Red and Green Reflex Sight with 4 Reticles. Am using it without riser. Mounted this scope seems likely would work without riser. Sight I'm using does put front sight in cross but have only been out twice so far seems okay. Trying to keep lowest mount for close range. 1/2" riser would be plenty. This scope without sighting in had cross above frt sight. I'm also using M&P Sport 15

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.

You will need a riser. I found one at Academy for about $30.00. Works great and scope is very accurate.

i use the medium riser on a s&w; m&p; 15-22 on which is mounted a bushnell trs-25 red dot. the mbus rear folding sight "appears" to co-witnesses perfectly with the red dot and mbus front folding sight. i use the word "appears" because the co-witness was completed with a bore sight and not by target firing.

Yes, I have it mounted to a S&W; M&P; sport model AR15. The built-in laser unfortunately will be blocked by the front fixed sight. I purchased an additional laser and mounted it on a forward picatinny rail.

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.

The way I see it,if you have a Picatinny rail I don't see a problem. The riser is high enough to clear a 50mm bell and buis sights

No, however, the one I bought came with a riser mount. It is model SCP MF 3WQS. Mine is mounted on a S&W Sport, and I love it. Good luck and happy shooting.

The sight will 1/3 co-witness with the irons depending on what sights you are using. I am currently using gen 2 magpul Mbps sights. The emitter in the sight is located at 5 o'clock and partially blocks the front sight so that you can see the FS post and the left blade. Personally I would buy the sight w/o the hi rise block and invest in a better mount. Daniel Defense makes a absolute co-witness riser that runs around $60 on amazon. Good luck

this is not something an ar-15 would need, or be able to use. I believe you are looking for something known as 'picatinny riser', they sell them on cheaperthandirt(dot)com. i couldnt find one on amazon. this item is to convert a dovetail mount to picatinny rail system. just a little extra info, 1/2 inch risers will allow you to "co-witness" with your iron sites and a red dot site in MOST cases. good luck! =) (i bought this for my pellet gun to mount picatinny type scopes/scope rings on it)

It will probably be too tall. I love the riser though. I needed to get my scope off the upper rail just high enough to be able to put the scope protective caps on. Works like a champ and brings it up to eye level for me. Maybe consider ditching the iron sights you have now and switch to magpuls offset sights. Little pricy but that's what I did. Hope this helps good luck.

No it does not come with a riser, why would you need one? What are you putting it on? Talk to people you know and trust like the gun shop where you bought it or a gunsmith where you can get some sound advice.

It depends on the iron sights themselves. The UTG riser has a square hollow opening through it, so low-mount irons might work. The flip-up or tall irons might work with the right optic......and it all depends on how you have each mounted on the main flat-top rail.

Yes, in that you can run this without impacting the functionality of your fixed front sight. I run this without an elevated riser. The front post does not get in the way and co-witness is achievable with a fixed front sight.

Hello Dylan: My AR MOD 1 w/ SPR fire dot is mounted 3.5 inches above the bore line for my particular cheek weld to the stock. The M&P; 15 A2 front sight is a small blur at the very bottom of the image at 1.5x and it disappears quickly on the way to 4x. That being said, I am told that with 4x and above there should be no hint of the A2 sight in the scope image for normally mounted scopes at 1.5" to 2 inches above the bore line. ChuckPS...Great scope...

I have mine on a S&W; MnP 5.56. It took some wrenching on the bolts to fully tighten. Once it is tight it sits a little low for you taste. I suggest a riser of about 1/4 inch for comfort.

Find out which type of mount you have on your ruger. (I.E. - Dovetail, weaver or picatinny) This riser will fit only on a picatinny rail. I dont think you will need a riser on a 10/22 unless you are running an aftermarket stock system like an A.R.style stock. Do some more research before buying.
