Tonight I removed my BSA red dot and replaced it with a Center Point red/ green 1x. The new scope looks and matches the finish of my Double Star just great. My only problem is the scope is too low for a comfortable cheek weld and the front sight is now in the way. I need to raise the scope about an inch. Would a set of tall rings fix this? Or would a scope riser block be better. I am going to add an iron rear folder later if that matters.

i've seen quit a few people use the detachable carry handles and mount a scope on top of it.

I have used the riser with good results. Got one for sale right now also.

you can pick up a riser block at dick's sporing goods for $21 . it should solve your problem.

Riser or tall rings would work. I would go with the tall rings or a tall quick disconnect mount.

YHM has nice risers too.

+1 this. I bought a few different lengths when I had an AR and they are all solid as a tank. I might still have a couple kicking around, I'll take a look for them.

Soooo.....mounting a scope/sight on an A2 upper is a good thing..??..

I'd be cautious of a "see through" mount...any one I've ever tried the see through part has been wishful thinking at best. Go for a quick release mount so if you need to get to irons quickly you can.

Check out the P.E.P.R. mount from Burris. It is a 1 piece mount designed for mounting scopes on flattop AR's. You should be able to pick one up for around $70. I have one on a 20" AR and it puts the scope in the perfect position.

2nd the Burris pepr. Its a great mount.

Not sure if the PEPR will fit the OP's application. I prefer the Armalite and RRA mounts to the Burris mount.

I think I have found a 1" riser that another board member has Pm me about. The Center Point has a 30mm tube and a nice solid ring mount. So this is going to be the best option for this set up for now anyway. I need to get some iron sights too but believe I will get a carry handle for that.
