Hello just got a colt m4 carbine and was wondering if anyone had ran a lpvo scope on them 1x6 and how sight picture is on 1x does front post interfere  was hopeing to see if yall can post some pics of looking down scope on 1x

Would go red dot but looks weird would do 3 power prisim but think front post get in way want to keep front post want stock rifle but way to aim better at low light and be able to zoom in little at targets at 100 plus yards

OPTICS MOUNTS SIGHTS

Below ~3X the FSB will show.

Everyone has different eyes, some it bothers/others not so much.

It was a no go for me personally.

Yes, plenty have done it.  You’ll end up with a slightly cluttered sight picture, but it won’t interfere with actual aiming on 1x.

Usually an individual choice if you’re willing to deal with it or not.  Some people don’t mind, others can’t stand it.

The front sight will ghost on you and disappear around the 2.5-3x point. Here’s a pic at 1x.

1.57". With the eyes, I level the triangle with the ears.

I can still see some shine under broad daylight at 4x. The camera exaggerates it some.

Going with some of the taller mounts would help alleviate this as well.

Standard is 1.50/1.54"

Badger makes a 1.7"

Several places make a 1.93"

Even just the 1.7" will drop the FSP low enough to not clutter you up to badly.

Or if you want to ball out with a $300+ mount, the Unity FAST is 2.05”
