| I have an Armalite A2 style rifle w/ a fixed carry handle. I am considering changing out the upper to a flat top so I can put a scope on it, but I also thought to myself, self, what about a carry handle scope mount. However, it seems like w/ the scope so much higher than the bore, it would just be kind of a weird shooter. You guys that have carry handle mounted scopes or have shot them, how did you like them? |
| I have one and I like it. When comparing handloads I shoot benchrest with a scope. Also, when removing and replacing it, it's pretty repeatable although I don't care where the shots hit, just group size. If you have a .22 conversion it is definitely a known distance only shooter. |

I had one and it worked out to 200+ yards - and that was with a Prismatic (1X) mounted waaaay high. You'd be well advised to find out how much you will need to compensate at close ranges (under 20 yards), though - or you'll have a nasty surprise during a close quarter self defense situations. Lots of practice will overcome, though.
One thing I hated about mounting sight above the carry handle - sore neck after a prolong shooting from the prone. |
