No, that's not true about having to crank up your elevation. I have an ARMS #18 on mine, and it is low enough that it doesn't interfere with sight picture at any elevation setting. Even at my 100m setting it does not interfere at all. I've never tried it all the way bottomed out, but I don't think even then it would be a problem.

Yeah its been a while since I used irons on either mine or the wife's. But don't get me wrong, I love the way that the ARMS is set up. It gets an optic as low as can be. I did get PRW rings for the wife's and when I bought her MK4 for her bolt I passed on the MK4 rings. I should have got them and used them on the M1A. Oh well, it's her rifle and she won't shoot it enough to neccesitate removal.
