With the riser installed, this sits at lower 1/3rd co-witness. This means that the iron sights will be visible through the scope view, however they will sit below the reticle, so they will not interfere with use of the scope.
Okay, THAT is an interesting question. With both eyes open, you will not see the same image - one eye will see an unmagnified image,while the eye looking through the optic will se an image magnified three times.
Consider this - Google "Bindon Aiming Concept". The basis is, that if you're scanning the terrain with both eyes open, your brain will "use" the non-magnified image. If a threat is perceived, the brain will "switch" to the magnified view. Not everyone's noggin is wired for this, but look into the theory behind it. Here's a quote:
" During dynamic movement, the scene through the telescope blurs because the image moves more rapidly due to magnification. The one eye sees the bright dot against the blurred target scene, so the brain picks the scene from the unaided eye. The shooter swings the weapon towards the target while perceiving the dot indicating where the weapon is pointed. As soon as the weapon begins to become steady in the target area, the brain switches to the magnified view."
Is it worth the 350?
Yes.

Vortex is very clear during the day or night.
My Monstrum is clear during the day but foggy at night. Even with a spot light Monstrum scope...

This worked well for the first 100rds. Small problem with the mount to the scope. Just needed to tighten the screws for the scope mount to the scope. I had to than re-Zero it. After that it worked great at 200yds. I would recommend this on any AR or ...

This is an amazingly durable product. I've been holding off on getting a prism scope for a long time out of general distrust, from my experience w/the ACOG on deployments, and price. Changing platforms and building a gun that's easier to move with ...

I purchased this for my new Sig Sauer rifle and really liked it; the image through it was crisp and sharp. It seems to be well built and easy to work with. The reason this only gets 4 stars is because it is straight up 3x, not 1x-3x as I thought. F...

Purchased this with a 10% off coupon from Optics Planet. This is an excellent 3X scope for the price point and the glass is much clearer and sharper than I expected. The construction is solid and sturdy and the unit comes with the Vortex unconditiona...
