I've got a compact ACOG coming to me (soon I hope)...with the standard flat top mount.

Is the front sight going to be an issue with that? Does it get in the way of the compact ACOGs at all?

TIA

What is the magnification? I have a 3x mounted on one of my carbines with flip ups. I tried it with the sight up, you can notice a blur in the image, but nothing bad.

Shouldn't be a problem.  I have a TA33 series with fixed front sight and it is slightly blurry at the bottom of the field of vision but in no way a problem.

If any of the compact ACOGs would have this problem, mine would.  It is only 1.5x magnification.  It is on a LaRue mount.  The front sight post is visible as a kind of ghost image in the bottom 1/3 of the field of view.  If you look for it, you can see it, but when I am actually shooting, I don't notice it at all.  No problems of any kind.
