Just about any mount will co-witness with standard rear sights. Avoid the low mounts if that is what you are going for.
I like the KAC cantilever style myself. ARMS makes some really nice mounts. I have my red dot sitting right on top of the sight post. I could probably go a little bit higher with it, but not much. When you shoot with both eyes open, focusing only on the red dot, it should sit higher than the front sight post anyways. |

The ARMS mount with a spacer will align the dot with the front post.
The LaRue will put the irons in the lower 1/3rd of the optic. |

so with the LaRue, it will put the red dot considerably higher than the front post?

Depends on your definition of considerably. The FSP will be in the lower 1/3 of the Aimpoint, just low enough to keep the view clear. The time it takes to aquire the FSP from the dot is milli-seconds. |

Not considerably higher, about 0.2". I would recommend going with the higher mounts (LaRue adn PRI) as they are more comfortable to use, IMO. You will still be able to use irons, they will just appear in the lower third than in the middle of the aimpoint glass. |

excellent. That sounds exaclty what i am looking for. Any particular models from LaRue?
I am looking at all the reticle pics now and it really doesnt seem to matter if the post is in the way. The eye is drawn to the dot first and it's almost like i dont even notice it. I'd like to keep a little space under the red dot. But it looks like it shouldt matter too much for longer distance shooting. |

Depends on where you are going to mount it, or on what.
They have two models for mounting directly to the flat-top. A straight one and a cantilever. They have a shorter model if you are mounting it on a rail or riser. |

I like my Aimpoint QRP mount with spacer. I run a KAC 300m BUIS and the co-witness is great.
