Have this TA31 on a LaRue mount. Trying to get the proper eye relief the bolt handle ends up touching the throw lever.
I have other options as far as optics goes. A few aimpoints. Not opposed to buying something else though.

Flip the mount so levers are on right side.

LaRue RCO mount is a single lever that brings it back as far as possible.

Pretty sure the levers are supposed to be on the left side according to La Rue. Not even sure if that’s possible due to the hole spacing but I can give it a look see. Just wondering what others are doing as it seems to be finicky as to optics placement

Get a corvus rail that has an integrated Acoflg direct mount.

Lower height less bulk less weight more streamlined.

Winning.

The mounts are reversible on hole spacing. And it makes no difference what side the levers are on.

Then that's on you.

I mount a larger ACOG TA011 on my AUG and it works well. My levers are on the OTHER SIDE and I get no interference with the charging handle. I tried to mount an LPVO using a Geisselle mount on my AUG and the bolts destroyed my knuckles when charging it so no go for me.

I prefer my Aimpoint T2 and M5 with an Eotech 5X magnifier on my AUG but the ACOG is a great option.

definitely flip the mount.

it also looks really far back. shoulder the gun while standing before attaching the ACOG and see where the optic needs to be for the correct eye relief

It pretty much needs to be there for proper eye relief. I’ve heard the T44 recommended as well. Perhaps that has more eye relief

I had this issue on my AUG.

You would need to flip the Larue so the locking levers are opposite of the charging handle.

The second option is to get the switchback charging lever from Manitcore Arms.

I had to use the micro switchback to clear the CQC rail.

Like in the pic that Dustyattic posted, most people usually mount ACOGs so the eye piece ends close to the front of the ejection port

I've got a TA33 on a LaRue mount, with the lever on the CH side.  Mounted for proper eye relief it sits just far enough back that there is a gap between the mount and the charging handle at full retraction that perfectly fits a fisted up hand on the charging handle.
