I have a 1-4 on my carbine and front site post did indeed infringe on scope pic. Drove me nuts until I replaced it with a lo-pro gas block - it's all good now.
Low power optics tend to have you looking at the front sight tower, higher power optics tend to "see around" it...
I had a M4 Carbine with an EO-Tech (no power) that the dot cowitnessed with the front sight and I installed a flip up back up rear sight, just in case the battery ever went dead while out in the field..If I switched it over to a 10x scope, it wasn't a problem..
Sorry for the late update. As for the the scope. It is not for precision shooting. It is for quick acquisition. The point blank reticle is rather large at 4x.
I am still working on getting some different ammo downfield. I was having problems with Wolf failing to cycle. I cleaned it and tried Winchester white box and it was firing fine.
More time after Christmas to get some shooting in.
Nice rig ChetPunisher! Is that the nickel-boron Spike's BCG or the chrome one? It looks super slick. I have been thinking about one of those bcg's. Nice rifle.
