If you put a scope on it will be pointed right at the front sight. You have several choices.

1. Don't put a scope on.
2. Put a scope on and look at the front sight.
3. Lop off the front sight with a hacksaw.
4. Replace the front sight with a Picatinny base so you can put a front sight on when you want to.
5. Put a scope on top of a riser then get a cheekpiece high enough to actually see through the scope.

I chose option 1 on one rifle and option 3 on another. Option 1 and 5 aren't going to happen even if I buy another rifle.

Hacksaw for you too, Haz

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

That's actually a mugshot of the guy who shot his lawnmower, but I have bad hair days every day so I don't look much different.

I just ordered the Brownell's front sight tool so I can change out my front sight (ordered by mistake instead of the no-sight option) - just punch 2 pins out and replace with a new YHM folder front sight to get it out of the way of the optics. Best of both worlds, Haz.

And for God's sake, use a Dremel, not a hacksaw!!   ;D

Sounds good to me.  I saw the pins, but the sight looks like it was part of the barrel, lol.

Dremel shmemel. By the time I filed, sanded, and blued it that thing looked a lot nicer than when it was made. I didn't need to buy any extra tools like a Dremel to do it. Now I'm wondering what kind of front sight tool you ordered since it takes a hammer and punch to remove it. I've never seen any special tool for it except a cup-tip punch that doesn't slide off like a flap-tip punch can. Free installation is available from YHM on all their products.

YES, but anything above the horizontal part can be cut off.
