Does anyone have any good sugestions for a mount for a scope on the carry handle. I know it's not 'ideal' but since I'm building a CQB rifle for my ban expiration gun, I'm thinking about turning my old carbine into more of a long range shooter. What mount will give me a good solid platform and still allow the use of irons too? I'm thinking something in the Nikon Pro Staff range for the scope. Although I admit I have no experiance in this area. |
| Not a high power optic (only 4x) but have you thought about a Trijicon TAO1 ACOG? Nice precise reticle, sits low on the carry handle, allows use of irons. I've used a 4x optic to shoot out to 600 yards. Obviously the 10x I have made it easier, but the 4x worked much better than I thought. |

ACOG is a little outside the price range. I'm not wanting this really for battle type optics. I want to punch paper at 100-400 yards and maybe some hunting when I can find someone to tag along with. As for the gooseneck, how could that work for a magnified optic. Eye relief won't allow that I wouldn't think. Edited to add: I'm looking for a standard scope so mounts that would work for that purpose are prefered. |

A.R.M.S. makes one that sits in the handle www.bushmaster.com/shopping/scopes/5855-01-299-777.asp It allows the use of irons. Ring height is the only issue...rings that are too high makes for an uncomfortable shot...rings that are too low will allow the objective end of the scope to block the use of irons. Good Luck |
| ok..so never having owned a red dot before..and mounting it on the carry handle with an ARMS 16A...the rifle is zero'd to 50 yrds (IBZ)....how do you zero the red dot..? Do you fire 3 rounds using the irons...then see where it hit/where the dot is..and adjust.?? Enlighten me please... |
