I can see the front post at 1X, but PEPR mount is tall enough to put the reticle center above it. At 2X the post is hardly visible, at 3X it's not visible.

The ACSS reticle is second focal plane, and is calibrated for use at 6X.



I had initially gone with an AR-Stoner 20 MOA mount from Midway. It is significantly lower than the PEPR, and the front post was in the way at low power.



On the PEPR 30mm mount, the scope centerline is 1.6" above the receiver.

With the AR-Stoner mount, it is only about 1.4" above the receiver, and with forward slope. It is a no-go for a rig with a fixed front sight base and low power optics.
