Very new AR owner here, so please be patient.  I have an Oly Arms K16 with flattop that I love.  I had a nice 3 x 9 scope on it but did not have room for my magpul mbus back up sights.   So I purchase a smaller 3 x 9 made by NcStar (which has worked great for my needs) but it sits a little to far forward for me to see clearly with the mbus attached.  Is there a way or mount that will bring it back yet also leave room for the mbus?  Thank you for any advice and help!!  Pictures would be awesome as well.

Can you get higher scope rings?

I did...but when moving the scope back till its comfortable for viewing it does not leave enough room for the mbus.

I believe the Magpull BUIS is pretty tall compared to others....LaRue makes a mount that will work, but pricy, esp for an Ncstar scope....there may be something less expensive out there...

Yes they are, expensive that is...but it might be the best option.

There's your problem.  When mounting the scope for a proper NTCH shooting position, the scope will sit far enough forward to allow the BUIS space to mount on the rail.
