I'm sure I could probably overcome most of the objectionable elements I've described with training, and I may. But for the moment, as it stands right now, they're irons.
This might be a stupid question, but you're shooting with both eyes open, right? Also when you co-witness with a red dot, ignore the front sight post. If the red dot is moving in relation to the front sight post, it means your head or the rifle is moving. It won't move by itself regardless of how bad your eyes are.

I think awhile back I was trying to get my hands on a Vortex to try it out but I couldn't find a brick and mortar retailer that had them, so that idea kind of got pushed aside. I don't recall if it had the other feature I've since decided to want included. Maybe I'll revisit that idea. Thanks.
Vortex 2.5-10x32 has everything you want for about $800. I love it.
