I have two AR's with Carry handles and want your advice in scopes to mount in the handles. Anyone with any experience?

They do make ones specifically made to mount into the sight channel on top of the carry handle. IIRC the original ACOG was made for this purpose. This was before all the flattops.

Here's some examples

I currently have an 8-32X44mm scope mounted on the carry handle of my AR.

I am looking for something under $100 to start with. Can I get something for that price range?

I have not experience with scopes so I need your input.

Did you look at the link I posted?

There are plenty of sub 100 dollar options on there even two that I saw with a Bullet Drop Compensator.

jeepinbanditrider Thanks for the link. I learned a lot from looking at all of their offerings. I ordered a scope and mount from their site.

Thanks again.
