Brosteve,

Yes the rear sight will pop up under the scope bell. Since I shot that photo I added some of the flip up cover scope caps and needs to cut out a piece in the cover to allow room. Otherwise the rear sight would not move up and I could not cock the rifle sear.

I seem to be able to get them tight, it can be a bit of chore getting them to loosen. When get some range time in and if they work well I figured I would break out the MIG Welder and build a nice wider thumb pad for the levers and extend them just a bit giving them more of the Euro Mount look...

All kinds of ideas, not enough time!!!!!! Now if the weather would just cooperate..... GRRRRRRR...

Later,
DonT
