The problem with "parallax free" optics is, barring an optical shift from going through the two? lenses, when zeroed at the same distance for POA-POI, the aiming elements have an absolute cowitness.
Shoot bigger targets or zero the irons farther at least 1 rev (5 or 6.6 MOA, depending on sight radius). ETA: After rereading, I think the bold has happened. Unless it is indeed mounted lower than iron sight height 1.4" and you aren't using the upper 1/3rd of the window. |

I think the problem is that your current trash red dot is a little too low. If you get a red dot with a proper co-witness height mount, you should be fine (dot at the apex of your sight post).
I don't know your budget, but here is an ultra-cheap dot that should be just fine for the range. Crimson Trace CTS-25 |

Increase riser height.

I prefer folding sights if I'm going to use an optic. It's not hard to remove the front sight base and replace it with a low profile gas block that was made for this. Some would recommend chopping it, but I prefer replacing it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Increase riser height. This. Put the dot on a riser. A 1/2" riser between your receiver and the red dot ought to get the dot high enough to see and zero. |

A halfway decent RDS would come with a 2 part mount, allowing for either 1/3 co-witness or absolute co-witness.

Ok, so you can put the red dots on a riser. That's what I wanted to know.
I'm looking at the Sig Romeo 5. I appreciate everyone's patience with the FNG. |

i actually prefer it , if your RDS malfunctions you want a BUIS you can flip up to work in conjunction with your A2 style front sight , you will be able to have sighted in irons that you can view through your dead RDS , with out them if your RDS fails you are winging it and the fact RDS is not magnified "for me" its the perfect setup when running RDS and adds virtually zero weight ,while expanding the versatility

I run the UTG fixed sights on a flat top AR and have a red dot cowitnessed with them.
Shouldn't be an issue, just need a proper height riser |

 Stop wasting time/ money on cheap crap scopes. This is a simple carbine that’s light, accurate and effective. At minimum run a Romeo5 and Magpul rear back up. |

The BSA Red Dot is garbage. It was my first red dot ever and was very disappointing.
Check Out: A Romeo 5 A Primary Arms MD-25 (On Sale) Also PA has a decent prism scope on sale. The 2.5x for $99. |
