What brand and model of scope is it? What distance are you zeroing at?

In general, mounting an optic on a carry handle complicates the situation greatly. The height of the optic above the bore throws things off a bit to say the least. Besides getting a different scope (one designed for a carry handle mount) or a different mount (one designed to compensate for mounting an optic on the carry handle), your best best is to replace your A2 upper receiver with an A3 upper receiver. It's really not the expensive.
