I have a new 10/22 backpacker. It's the one that breaks down and came with a Magpul X-22 stock. I just put a red dot sight on it and it's a lot of fun to shoot.

The problem with the red dot is, the original open sights are now completely blocked. There is no backup in case something goes wrong with the red dot.

I have done some searching, but am putting the question out here, hoping some of you have done the same thing and found a solution. What replacement sights are out there that are tall enough to see over the mounting hardware but under the red dot?

Thanks.
