I don't understand why you're so angry about this. You didn't make it clear which part of my statement you were referring to. I answered the first part.Ok. I guess we're done. I'm not following as to why you'd make a statement unrelated to mine, "co-witness is also possible" and when I question you on how you do that, you can't provide an answer. You continue to divert to the first part of your statement when I'm clearly not arguing that part.
I'm not angry at all. But if you're gonna make a statement and I don't understand how it's true then I'd expect anyone to be able to explain it to me so I could understand it. I simply couldn't, in my mind, think of how you co-witness irons with an optic on a bolt action. And FYI, just because you can see a front sight through an optic doesn't mean it co-witnessed. I can see my front sight through my ACOG but the front is not usuable because I'm seeing it through 4x magnification. Co-witnessing is having a rear iron sight BEHIND the optic and a front sight in FRONT of the optic with the reticle or dot on the same plane. In doing so you can use both aiming systems simultaneously if so desired. To my knowledge there's not a bolt action that can do thatI don't understand why you're so angry about this.

My uncle who taught me to shoot had a bolt action that was co-witnessed. I thought it was odd at the time, seeing the front sight in the center of the scope reticle, but it actually worked really well. I *think* it was a Remington, but that was 50 years ago, and I was new to guns, so I can't be sure.
As a side note, the first gun he had me shoot was a pump 12 gauge, and he was surprised it didn't knock me on my behind like it had my cousins.
Maybe a scout rifle would give you what you're looking for? But then you have a scout eye relief scope...
I have my grand fathers Remington 760 in 300 Savage, it has a Bousch and Lomb sitting on steel flip over rings.My uncle was an old school varmint hunter and several of the rifles I inherited have scopes with see through rings for their iron sights. It would be cool if they were set up and zeroed for different ranges or different ammo. I haven't shot them yet to see where they're pointing though.
Probably the best rifle in his collection was a 70s Remington 700 chambered in .222 and as cheap scope and factory sights. I should shoot it and see how it groups.I have my grand fathers Remington 760 in 300 Savage, it has a Bousch and Lomb sitting of steel flip over rings.
You will enjoy it, That was a very popular cartridge then.Probably the best rifle in his collection was a 70s Remington 700 chambered in .222 and as cheap scope and factory sights. I should shoot it and see how it groups.
