For the variable power optic, you would not want to co-witness the front post with the scope. You should consider replacing the front post with a railed gas block and mounting your folding iron sight to that. Otherwise you will not get a good sight picture. What some folks do is co-witness their back up sights with a red-dot optic. That is fine in most cases because they are usually not variable power scopes.
