It's a back-up sight. I leave it folded down. The only time I will ever use it is if the scope breaks.
IMO there isn't any reason to modify it. How much time is it going to take to simply flip to the large aperture after you removed the scope? |

In the down position, the aperture that is verticle prevents the scope from mounting.

For back up I'd sacrifice the small aperture.
How much clearance are we talking? |

Could you cut it in half? Then just level the sight posts for shooting

Quoted: If you had to choose between the small or large aperture, which would you choose? Under stand that the two apertures are not on the same Height distance up from the top of the receiver, and if you look at your elevation knob, will see two numbers. Hence large aperture is the smaller of the number, and small aperture is the larger of the number. So with elevation dial set to 3/6, large aperture will be you 300 set zero, while small aperture up, would be your set 600 zero with the front sight post untouched. As for if you are not going to use the rear sight this way or the elevation dial, and instead just go with one or the other and zero it out alone for a given distance, then just depends that your going to use the rifle for. In most cases, such as running target that you will need to lead, it's easy to use the larger aperture, since it gives you more side view of the front post for lead distance. |

I’ve had the same problem as the OP. Easy solution, TROY BUIS don’t have that problem and neither do my favorite, the Midwest Industries Combat sight. The TROY will only fold down flat when the aperture is folded properly while the MI has only one aperture, not big, not small. Small enough for accurate shooting yet big enough for fast low light shooting; absolutely the best of both worlds.

Thanks, I was looking at these, but didn't want to spend any more, LOL.
I see the MBUS looks like it would fit as well. I do have a set of MBUS Pros on another build, but they are pricey as well. I'll take another look tonight. Thanks Went ahead and ordered the MI Combat Sight. I'll throw the other one in the box for another build. Thanks All. |
