I recently ordered an LMT Defender AR (not yet arrived) with the intention of placing a Red Dot Scope (RDS) between the fixed front sight and the removable rear sight. I spent a lot of time reviewing the Aimpoint vs. EOTech threads. Just recently, however, I've been re-thinking the RDS decision and have been considering a low-power scope, instead. I've found enough info on the scopes themselves to be able to make a choice, but I am missing some information.

I don't think I've ever seen pictures of a low-power scope (1X - 4X) through the lens with a front sight post in the field of view. I assume it will be fuzzed and not be much of a problem, but I'd sure like to see it before I spend bucks on a mount or scope. Show me your pics, please.

Here is a picture from one of Molon's great posts. It is a NF NXS 1-4 on 1X Mag.

Thanks, that doesn't look bad. If it starts bothering me, I can swap out front sights. After putting 1x - 4x and mount money down, a new FSB is almost nothing...

I was recontemplating putting my ACOG on my newly built 12.5" upper and as soon as I saw the shadow of the FSB, I remembered why the hell I didn't do it. It bugs the shit out of me.
