I have a vx3i 1.5-5x20 mounted with Talley quick detach rings and steel based on my 375HH.
I don’t really like it, I can see the iron sights when looking through the scope.
When I started using this scope years ago, I too was bugged by seeing the sights but after a while realised that I was starting to ignore them and focused on the reticle instead.
I now have two 1.5-5s and three other similar scopes that have become a favourite choice on shorter rifles. I suggest you give it a fair shake and try them out. Even setting them on 3x will pretty much eliminate the front sight from view.
