PA Sight
I just bought a Sig 516 and I'm looking for some type of optic. I have discovered the Primary Arms 1-6X Scope with ACSS Reticle. Was wondering if anyone knows if this will work with the flip up sights i have installed for co-witness? Also could someone recommend me a good low profile look mount that is solid.
Thanks, |

can't cowitness with magnified optics. only with non-magnified optics like red dots (aimpoints) and holographic systems (eotechs).
for magnified optics, slap them on a quick-detach mount, and have folding back up sights. optics goes down, take it off quickly, deploy sights, continue pillaging and destroying everything in your path. be safe. |

all of my optics are on american defense mounts, and i am completely satisfied with them. havent lost zero yet. i rarely switch out my optics (different zero for every rifle), but do like to remove my optics when cleaning the rifle. i shoot NTCH (nose to charging handle), so i need to use the recon-x mounts for proper eye relief. if you shoot further back, the recon mounts should work fine.

Gotta tell you, it depends on the scope as well. I like Bobro, but on the Sig 556 is best with a little lower mount to give you a better cheek weld. The size of the objective lens and rear sight height have a lot to do with clearances.
As mentioned you cannot co-witness with magnified sights. Or are you asking for a scope mount that will put the scope centered at the same height as the irons? That is a really tough question for me on that rifle. The only Sig rifle I have is a 522 which is pretty similar dimentionally. I put a Troy flip on the rear and a Midwest Industries Sig flip on the front. Because mine is a .22 I didn't want to spend a fortune on a scope, but I used the Burris PEPR mount. As an AR mount the PEPR seems a bit high on the Sig rifle. Hope that info helps a little.

I'm in the same boat, have a 516 jailed right now and really looking hard at the PA 1x6 ACSS.
As far as cowitness, I thought I read in Dimitri's thread that someone had setup a cowitness config with their rifle I think it was an A2, but that at anything over 3x you wont see it. |

however, with magnified optics, you cannot co-witness, since by definition that means being able to use two sighting systems at the same time, interchangeably. with magnified optics (like the PA 1-6x), you wont be able to use a rear sight even though you may be able to see the front sight thru the optic. just the nature of the beast. |

No CW with magnified optic
