I'm looking for a compact tactical scope for my m4, I have the fixed carry handle with rail mount. I'm looking to shoot around 300 yards. I've been told to stay away from nc star mk lll, tasco, barska and some of the other "cheap" brands, but also I'm not wanting to spend the money for a trijicon? Are there any that are in the middle of those two that are good quality and able to shoot that kind of range? If so links or brand names would be helpful, thanks

just to double check, these would be ok to mount on top of the handle with low mount rings to minimize the height from the barrel? right?

here is another idea, what about running a more traditional style 3-9x30 or 32 scope on the carry handle?

ok I think I've decided on the burris fullfield tactical 2-7x35 with the burris extreme weaver mount rings? How does this setup sound?

The FFII's are great scopes for an AR.  Clear glass and the BDC works well.  The problem is putting it on top of a carry handle is going to suck....a lot.  You will have almost no cheek weld with the stock.  Almost more of a chin-weld.  It would be better if you can get the upper switched out for a flat top.
