I just bought an S&W M&P Sport with a fixed front sight and would like to put a scope on it. What can i buy so the sight does not get in the way of the scope.

True but with the length of higher powered scopes he may not get enough eye relief for a good cheek weld. Most higher powered scopes are really best used with gas blocks and buis, if any front sight. Maybe I misinterpreted his question but I think he meant interference with the length of the scope by the fixed FS.Actually, at any magnification of about 3 or above, you wont even see the front site. It will just blur out. Just use a high set of rings so the scope is at least as high as the front sight post, so the front sight is not actually blocking the target. I've used a 3-9x scope successfully. While not ideal, it is do-able.
