If I were to put this is front of a Vortex Sparc II red dot, would the red dot be somewhat in line with the center post?

Possibly. Sights (front & rear) and red dot need to be on the same sight plane. Good luck.

Depends on the height of the mount. This is roughly the same height as a standard gas block front sight

Probably on the onset no.....but you should be able to adjust the red dot scope to align with the center post. That's what I did.

Mine is fixed in the front and it lines up with it. You will just have to adjust the sight

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..

It's hard to say as I have a red dot on there now. I just looked from the barrel back towards the stock and then rail looks higher than the sight. It may block it.

I mounted that exact set-up and had good results. It depends a bit on the iron sights, but if you're using the stock sights then it should be no problem.

Not at all, if you line up the little red dot. It took me a while to figure that out

Yeah, you should be fine. Ghost ring sights are a little higher, but there was plenty of clearance.

It should be marked on the box or the stamp...on the top hat, orient the white dot towards the same direction as the stock mount dots. From what I know this step doesn't really matter because the shock angle is the same but I did it this way anyways. Be prepared to utilize an impact wrench for the top nut, one of my struts were "loose" when I installed it so I torqued it down with a handheld impact driver.

This comes with a lower 1/3 cowitness, cantilever mount. I have it on an AR and it allows the front sight to sit in the lower one-third of the viewing window, leaving the red dot above the front sight. There is a separate true cowitness mount available from Vortex that will have your red dot line up dead center with the front sight.

We have installed the fiber optic front sigh posts before with no issues, but have not yet tried the tritium posts by Trijicon. There should be no issue if they are truly A2 spec.

It's fine because it is an absolute cowitness. This should line your red dot up with your iron sights perfectly allowing you to use them if your optic is damaged/batteries die

On flat top ARs the green dot sits a little bit above the front sight post but not by much. Not one of the fiber optic sights I have used co-witness with front sights.

Depends on the diameter if the sight. I use a short Red Dot sight with no problem

I would say yes even though mine is mounted on a ar15. If for some reason it can't and you break the dot it does have a life time warranty so just send it back to vortex. This is hands down the best dot for the money.

Yup. Just make sure u get a mount raiser. The dot needs about a half inch to an inch raiser so u arent double sighting.

It should line up fine, but you need to ensure you have enough railspace and the mounts put them at the same height. However I really would not recommend putting this behind an already magnified scope. This is made for use behind a red dot or holographic, not a magnified scope. Hope this helps.

Yes, this mount will give you full co-witness. Meaning that the top of your front sight will sit in the middle of the red dot.
