That's what the big thumb-wheel on the side of the sight is for.
It will return to zero close enough.
You can get mounts that will allow you to "co-witness."
I think the whole co-witness thing is completely overblown.
What is the point of co-witnessing?
What difference does it make if the red dot is perched (more or less) on your front sight while the iron sights are aligned?
Do you plan to aim with the iron sights while the red dot is working?
If the red dot is not working, and you can still see your iron sights through the failed device, don't you just line up the sights and shoot?
I couldn't care less about whether my iron sights "co-witness."
Honestly, I don't even want to see the iron sights while the red dot is running.
