One of the gooseneck mounts, like the ARMS #39 would be best for something attatched to the carry handle.
On my A2 CQC carbine I prefer the optic mounted on a FF rail system. What type of optic are you using? |

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 |

I put a Burris Mini 4x on a Bsquare carry handle mount with Weaver medium height rings. Scope as low as it can go, looks good and cheek (chin) weld isn't too bad. Whole set up around $200.
