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."

Sure there should be no issue. I would recommend the red illumination vs the green when using it this way.
The Spitfire 3x does not have automatic illumination features.
Yes, Vortex is still manufacturing this optic at this current date.
It can be, but please be aware that you would likely need to use multiple adapters to make it fit as this is set up for standard AR's with a flat top receiver. You can email us at techsales@opticsplanet.com and we can look into adapters if that is the set up you want to go with.
This is not a standard optic where you can attach a ringed bubble level and we do not have the measurement of the tube as there is no good place to install a bubble level of that style. This is not a tube sight as the optics mount is integral to the construction of the actual prism red dot.
Yes, this reticle is illuminated.
most optics that are made to work with 5.56will be able to go upto 7.62x39. other than that, you will need a different optic.
It would sit higher than usual but any Picatinny rail will be compatible with this optic.
