Does the rail by itself obscure the iron sights?

not at all. It is one of the best rail systems I have ever purchased, I highly recommend this one!

The rail does not obscure the iron sights. They are still usable. This mount does not, however, allow you to co-witness an optic with the irons. An optic blocks the irons when mounted.

The scope mounts very close to the rifle with the rings that are included. Also the scope is too long with a short eye relief so you will not have room for any iron sights. I ended mounting some offset iron sights and they work surprisingly well.

It doesn't really. There is a bit of a ghost of the front sight in the bottom if your view but it really isn't an issue.

Yes. The rear sight can be seen through from a little further in front on the rail. There is also the limited visibility aperture (larger hole) that can be flipped up as as well. This may not be as accurate as " normal" but, remember. We're talking about Back-Up Sights.

I mounted it in order to install a Bushnel TRS red dot, so no you can no longer use the iron Ruger sights the way I have it set up.

Comes with iron sights. You can take the iron sights off and it shows the rail guard to attach other sights but as mentioned the rail guard does not have any kind of to attach other sights. It's around $10 for a rail.

If you are asking if it is a see-through for back up iron sights... yes it is.

You have to take off the rear sight to put the rail in its place- so no you can't use the iron sights.I think the rail is about 6" long, but you can cut off any excess

I haven't had any issues with mine. I hit the four screws with thread locker during the initial install. I have the same rifle and have not had any issues. You will be able to see your front post and enough of your rear sight to still have functional iron sights as is claimed.

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.

It does mount directly over the receiver. And more importantly it allows the use of the existing iron sight or the scope.

No, not enough clearance under the mount. I put offset iron sights on my AK-74 to supplement the optical sights.

i haave a "henry" rifle ( in .22 rimfire ) that was pre drilled on top but it came with iron sights . i bought a rail with a 3/8"dovetail onit . problem was it had slots milled perpudicular on top . i purchased the accushot clamps you ask about , but the answer is yes it does . but i had to sift it forward or to the rear so the cross clamp bolts are located towards the bottom and i had to sift it so the bolts fit in the slots (slots are every 1/2" or so no troubles with eye relief . they are solid and i love them . i hope this helps .

I used this to mount a red dot for the same problem that you are describing. The AR I mounted it on has an integrated front iron sight. Like you are describing it interferes but I am not going to be the fool that screws with a iron sight from the SigSauer factory. This rail perfectly raises the sight just above the front sight so that the sight is usable and not a problem. This is definately the way to go. Hopefully I have answered the question let me know if not.

The type of rail you use will decide if the iron sights are usable. I have the Brass Stacker rail and yes, I can use the iron sights too.

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.

As far as I could figure, you couldn't see under this sight for any reason as it sits right on the rail. I only use it on a pellet pistol, so I have no experience on other weapons.
