I have run multiple optics behind a front site post, usually with out issue. My point, perhaps badly stated, is that only complete scope failure - as in glass completely obstructed - would be an issue, since the scope body itself can be a rear aperture for the front site post if really needed. The same is true of an aimpoint or red dot: dot dies, use the front site post, just know where rounds fall.

I would agree that starting with a purpose-built mount would be preferred, but would like to hear how it goes with the vortex rings.
