G&G Raider - Which Optic with Fixed Fore Sight

[Baz JJ]

The G&G Raider seems to have a fixed front sight. What optics are you Raider owners using to see over the sight ?

I got a new outer barrel for £26 posted with a removable front sight

 

I ordered this one http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/g-g-detachable-front-sight-system-set-for-cm-series.html#.VbFMz1J4WnM

Not sure why you would need to raise over the sight. If your using a zoomed optic you wont see it and if its a 1x dot sight you wont notice it either with both eyes open as the brain forms the image in your head. Thats why you can still use dot sights/holo sights even with the cover closed aka Occluded Eye Aiming

 

"Occluded eye aiming takes advantage of our natural binocular vision, and our brain’s ability to merge information from both eyes into what we perceive as a single image. In the case of occluded eye aiming we merge the image of the scope’s reticle onto the image of the target"

with my raider L i use a replica 1x acog red dot and it works fine with the front sight post. it was around £30 on ebay

I have a CM16 Raider L and i just use a 30mm Aimpoint, works fine, clear sight picture and i have a Peq box inf ront of it, if your all so worried just get a 1cm riser or something to bump it up a little

Thanks for your replies. Am going with ironsights for a while with a view to fitting an optic at a later date. All input stored and will be used - cheers.
