Yeah, the optics and the iron sights are aligned with each other. The 1 MOA red dot 'sits' atop thetip of the front sight post, and if you raise the flip-up rear sight, the 65 MOA crosshair appearsjust inside the rear aperture.

I'll ask my wife to help me take a photo of it. I can't get the AR to stay put in my gun vise for a decent pic.
