Which would you guys recommend? Also I have a fixed carry handle, so can anyone tell me which mount to get and maybe show a pic of the setup?
Thanks,

An example of forward mounting an Aimpoint .... this is an M2 in an ARMS #22M68 mount on an ARMS #51 SIR:

The #51 SIR is in essence a #39A2 carry handle mount, in case you're looking at that.
When you're using the optic you're looking OVER the top of the rear aperture, and the front sight assembly is in the lower portion of the optic field of view, which is optimum positioning, IMHO.
[i]NOTE: The front sight assembly will NOT be as clear as shown in this picture.[/i]

If your Aimpoint fails, you simply lower your head slightly to look through the rear aperture and use your irons through your failed sight:

The best optic/iron sight co-witness that you can get with an A2 upper, IMHO (again).
