[MR1 rifle scope mounting ?]

Great. Got two answers. One on the forum, one by email. One says the rear sight is easily removed. The other says can't be done.

 

Is there a Benelli employee out there who reads these posts?

[MR1 rifle scope mounting ?]

Does anyone have experience mounting a standard rifle scope on the MR1?

 

I have read that due to the height of the rear factory sight, the scope must be mounted well above the normal sight plane. This would prevent normal cheek weld and stock positioning when sighting through the scope.

 

Is it possible to remove the factory rear sight to allow normal positioning of the scope? Would the integral front ramp sight interfere with the scope's line of sight?
