Scope Sight Picture with a Front Sight Post?

[rct442]

I have a quick question about putting a scope on 20" A3 profile AR.

Here's a mock-up of the gun now:


I was thinking of getting a 3-9 power scope, but I was worried that on the lower magnification settings, that the front sight would be visible. Any thoughts or first-hand experiences?

At 3X there will be a slight blur in the very bottom of the field of view. After about 4X it disappears completely.

Don't worry about it. The front sight post is just not a problem.

Cool. Now to find the right scope.
