Get one that you intend to use for the AR and just test it on the SCAR to see if you run into the same problem I did.
I got an Arisaka offset mount for my SCAR, and when I mounted it up it felt...off. I attribute it to the height of the rail over your cheekweld and how the stock pivots in comparison to an AR. I had to keep re adjusting the stock on my shoulder when I pivoted to the offset optic. Since the axis is more inline on an AR, it feels more natural to me, and I don't have to readjust anything. YMMV. The Elcan on my SCAR now sports a piggyback mount, and the 45 degree offset mount is on one of my AR's with a LVPO. |

Buddy has a piggyback setup and when you change over it's zeroed for tilting the rifle and using your opposite eye. Lightning fast and actually works, but YMMV...

I ran an RMR on top of an ACOG for years but as I got more serious about shooting it I grew to dislike that, too much difference in head position plus the huge offset between the RMR and the bore. PLUS for some targets, say 25 to 50 yards, not liking making the decision on which sight to use. Now I use the same ACOG but with an offset dot and like it. Nearly identical head positions. Use the RMR for single targets out to 25 to 35 yards, ACOG after that. Also better for multiple targets close up and if I need to switch between the dot or magnification. Being able to use nearly the same head position was perhaps the biggest improvement for me.

Offset is better. You can have the exact same zero and ballistics for both optics. I have tried both.

The piggyback solution requires changing head position and is slower to transition. The only advantage of piggybacking is that your rifle stacks slightly flatter in a soft case.
See my recent post here a bunch more reasons why a 45-degee offset is better https://www.ar15.com/forums/AR-15/Benefits-of-making-a-45-degree-offset-micro-RDS-your-primary-optic/18-760814/ |

Piggyback all day and twice on Sunday. I’d rather raise my head 1” than turn the whole rifle and deal with 45 degrees offset manipulations. YMMV.
