Yes, however, you would need an offset mount as one is not included with the optic. Something like the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro 45 Degree AR Mount (linked below) would allow you to mount this optic offset to your primary optic with the use of your flattop picatinny rail. https://www.opticsplanet.com/leupold-deltapoint-pro-45-degree-ar-mount.html

I love the huge window and the dot is easy to find. Its built like tank and locks up to my PDP like it was made for it.
Vortex has been my new go to optic for their quality, price point, and lifetime warranty. They are really hard to beat in my opinion. Definitely recommend!
Product Info for Vortex Defender-XL 1x 25 mm Reflex Micro Green Dot Sight
The rush of competitive shooting may bring us all together. But when you want an optic that sets you apart, depend on the Defender-XL. Target to target. Stage to stage. It's built tough as nails around a massive sight window that delivers greater peripheral vision and increasing speed for follow-up shots so you always come out on top.
