I have a DPMS 308 TAC20 with the A2 front sight and removable (from Picantinny rail) rear sight. It has thus far been a great rifle to shoot at the range to 100 yards. My 100 yard groups off a box are about 3 ½” wide with the iron sights. Now I want to explore the fun of a scope and I’m interested in a 4-24X45MM version. So question is, if the front A2 is not removable, do I: 1) attached the scope to the in place rear sight carry handle, OR 2) remove the rear sight/carry handle and install the scope on rings on the Picantinny rail?
How is the scope affected by the remaining A2? The sales person informed me at the time I purchased the gun that mounting a scope would not be a problem with the A2. Boy I hope that is true.
