the front sight will be a faint blur, the "tactical" carry handle on the other hand will be useless.
too tall to mount optics comfortably and securely heavy neither tactical nor carry handle not used when leupy is mounted to the flattop makes cost of rifle go up did i mention useless? |

Mike- You ordered the exact same rifle that I have! I dont know about the particular optic you are mounting, but I put a Trijicon Accupoint 21R on mine. The tactical carrying handle is indeed useless. I had an eye relief issue with my optic, so I purchased a Larue tactical Extra Eye Relief monut (LT139) for mine. It cost me $215, but I can easily sell the Tactical Carrying handle for $80 thru gunbrokeror the EE. Have fun.

Ok, so I would actually remove the tactical handle mount in order to mount the Leupold? I was thinking i would just mount the scope forward of the rear sight on the tactical handle.
Since I haven't place my order yet.... Should I opt for the detachable front sight instead of the fixed?? Wouldn't that give me the best of both worlds?? Any cons to detachable front sights (other then them coming off at the wrong time)? |

I would not opt for the detachable front sight, but I WOULD opt for NO rear sight (if that's an option). Then I'd do more research until I found the best folding BUIS for my needs. I like the ARMS #40, but I don't know how that would work with the Leupy. #40L, Troy, MI, there are lots of options, and all of them will be a FAR better choice than the "Tacticrap" thing, or even a detachable carry handle. |

Silly question I'm sure.... But if I dont opt for the detachable front sight how do you remove the fixed front sight to install and flip up sight??

The CQ/T will be WAY too high if you mount it on top of the RRA tactical handle. Your best bet is to remove the carry handle and mount the optic straight to the flattop pic rail. As for a detachable front sight, if you want to use the CQ/T you won't even notice the front sight at 3x (very faint blur) and the height of the CQ/T integral mount will put the front sight very low in the reticle at 1x. Trust me, you'll forget it's there after 30 seconds of looking through the scope. Here's a photo of my CQ/T on a flattop upper. Note how high it already is without being placed on top of a carry handle.

Mike- When you remove the tactical carrying handle- the rear site comes off with it, so don't worry about the previous post where the guy (correctly) states opt without the rear site if you can.

Here is what mine looks like. I have the exact gun that you are ordering...I think?

If that question was directed to me, then I meant folding REAR sight. You should have no problems with the fixed front sight. I don't using a Trijicon Accupoint TR21R that's 1.25-4x. I use an ARMS #40A as my rear BUIS. |

Dupe darn-it... Sharing the PC with my 3 1/2yr old... She's supposed to be on Disney.com, but she hit "back" and "enter" before I noticed.

This is exactly my setup with a GG&G flip up front sight. I absolutely love it and would not go back. PM me with your email and I can send some pictures.
