quote K1500: "Levers are great. Why do you want/need to co-witness? I know it is all the rage in tactical circles these days, but since you are looking at a lever you are not really swayed by the prevailing AR wisdom."

I want the co-witness in case the electronics crap out or the battery dies. My primary goal is a defensive rifle not going to war. Reliability is a very high priority which would give a preference of bolt action, lever action and semi-auto in that order. Although my skills need tuning up, I know I can get followup shots with a lever action without losing my sight picture.

Thanks for the Burris link. I will look into these.
