CaptLouie 8 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I've installed a 1x3.5 scope on the low-rise scope mount on my Saiga 308 conversion. I like the scope and mount, but the forward iron sight stickes up into the scope field of view? I didn't want to get the higher mount if possible... Anybody had this situation, and what did you do.... and/or recommendations? Thanks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eadodd 0 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Would taller scope rings give you the clearance you need? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptLouie 8 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Would taller scope rings give you the clearance you need? A taller Scope Mount would work, but then the problem of adjusting/shimming the scope mount to get it to align with the target, etc. My Scope Field of View is something like this diagram I drew... ... Front iron site sticks up into the view, makes it difficult to focus on the target... Maybe remove the front iron site and have something that can be mounted (set screws) when I really only want the iron setup?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paladin 37 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 One solution is flip up sights, a couple people has done it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gtnichols 51 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 You can always take it off and if you want, put on a Krebs later,.. or just push the pins out and remove it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
