Ok looking to see some 16 inch flat top A3 style rifles with scopes and if possiable a pic thru the lens to see if the front post is in the way.Or does the front sigt post get in the way at all?When i get mine for longer range shooting i plan on putting a 4x16x40 on it for coyotes.

If you are gonna mount a monster scope for yotes. you should consider a 20" or longer barrel.  

Regardless, you never see the front sight, it's a non issue.

Just my .02

I have a 16" M4 DPMS with a 3-9 scope and the front sight is not a problem for coyotes, and I think the 16  will be fine out to around 300 yrds mine is,for what that  is worth

I use this AR (RRA 16" upper, Bushy lower) for coyotes and various other creatures easily out to 300 yards. I just have a 4x scope mounted on it, usually not enough time to up the power if you use a variable and too much magnifification and you won't be able to get on target if they come in close.



ETA: The front post is not a problem as long as your scope mount is high enough.

Does anyone know where I can get an affordable 1" cantilever mount.  I saw the Larue one but it was $160 and I don't have that much extra cash.

Armalite Scope Mount $89.00

I have a 6-24x on my 20" HBAR. Even at 6x the FSB is undetectable in the sight picture.

Here's the 30mm one piece mount -



Here's another 30mm ring/mount setup that I can't see the front sight from the scope.
