If your scope clears the sight leave it on. If it don't clear the sight take it off.

If theres contact I'd take it off.
 There's movement of the barrel metal and everything else when the gun goes boom, I wouldn't want anything in the way to interfere with that natural movement.
 All it would need do is push just a little the wrong way at the right time, an you'll wonder why you can't keep the scope zeroed.  :P

If the elevator is removable and you have the elevation where you want it, take it out and clip, cut, grind, just shorten it. ;)
