I'm putting a scope on my AR-15 and I thought the front sight post would get in the way with the low mounts I got with the scope. I read in various places that it doesn't really matter - so I tried mounting it and lo and behold - I seem to be able to see perfectly through the scope, even though the front sight post comes up most of the way towards the top! (See attached images).
Why does this work? Why doesn't the front sight post block the view? And, does it reduce the brightness of the image? Would I be better off getting taller mounts or should I just go with this?
Thanks!
