why do certain optics mount in the location they do? specifically why do eotechs usually go on ultimak or some other forward type mount, and kobra types mount towards the back, on the side rail? any particular reason or is it just how they went together?

Originally the AK was designed to use a stripper clip which would load from the top, so the scopes were designed to mount on the side to allow unhindered loading. They scrapped the idea of the stripper after the scopes were in production, so the side mount remained.
