usually the scopes that go on top of a fixed carry handle have the mount integral to the scope, u can get little M1913 rails to put up there if u want but with height of scope rings added to that you're going to have to stand on phone books to look thru your scope.. if that's what you want.. I don't know what they're called.
dial in a AR15 scope:
1. at home, take the upper off and with the scope attached, bore sight it best as u can as far length as u can. aim the scope about 1" above where u see looking thru the barrel. make sure the upper is as perfectly vertical as u can get it. a vice would be nice.
2. find out how many clicks on the dial = how much at 100 yards.
3. go to the range.
4. try targets at 25 yds. should be on paper. 3 shots before u decide to adjust. if needs adjusting, your 25 yd target is 1/4 as far away as the "clicks at 100 yards" you wrote down. so multiply clicks by 4. like if your scope does 1/4" per click at 100 yds, and here at your first 25 yd target you need a gross adjustment of 3" left, that would be 48 clicks. do not turn the dial more than the scope will easily allow! if it's getting pegged out at this point something is wrong.
5. or try targets at 50 yds. multiply clicks by 2. adjust after 3 or 4 shots.
6. try at 100 yds. if you have "strings" going vertical, horizontal, diagonal, etc. you can use those to diagnose a problem you might have. if it looks normal, you can figure your MOA and stop there or go on to farther targets.
you should use at least 5 shots to decide if the crosshairs are where you want them or not. 3 or 4 is not statistically good enough at 100 yds. you can fool yourself.
7. farther targets: most ppl zero their scope at 200 or 300 yds. if you don't have one available, you can adjust the crosshairs to about 1/2" below the point of strike and call it good for now. it will be "about" zeroed for 200 yds at that point. note, the higher your scope sits the wackier it's going to get trying to do this.
you may have noticed that with open sights, you can set a "battle zero" at 25 yds that is the same as a 300 yd zero. you can't use that procedure with a scope, because the line of sight is higher above the barrel. it won't work.0 -
Thanks Busch,
Here is a picture of the mount im looking to get, and a picture of the scope im goin use. The first is a picture of drjews scope mounts that i was looking to get, the second picture is the scope i am going to use.
The scope is a simmons 3-10x44
I basically want the same setup drjew has on his rifle.
Edit: drjew sent me the scope free because hes an awesome badass dude!0 -
that's one mean lookin librarian. 0 -
if you want to go with that setup, you could trade up for a 56mm, for more light gathering power. no clearance problems. 0 -

Leupold carry handle AR-15 scope mount.
Here's one from Brownell's. It ain't Leupold, but most don't ever know the difference.

The ocular (eyebell) has an adjustment held by a lock ring. Most first timers make the mistake of thinking this is to focus the target. It is not. After you get the scope mounted properly and straight, you look through the scope into open sky and adjust this until the crosshairs are clear and crisp. I also highley recommend a good quality ring. Weaver tip-off rings are really cheap, hence difficult. You actually have to mount the scope crooked to getit to be straight once it's tightened. Leupold PRW rings are what I use. Any verticle split or similar ring will be fine.
If you need any thing else. Holla.0 -
Harry Pope came up with a great way to sight in a scope
1. Aim at the bulleye and fire one shot
2. Aim at the bullet hole and while holding the rifle still (vice, bags, etc) adjust the scope back to the bullseye.
You are done... or might need some fine tuning. This is the fastest way I know of sighting in a scope.0 -
If you have a shooting vice and it can be held securely while you make the scope adjustments that works. 0 -
I have a rail that mounts to the carry handle and forms down it and runs to the front site. I have a Rsd Dot scope, a laser and a surefire flashlight on it. I can also use my open sites as well. I think its the best way to go, its a matter of what you prefer. Good luck!!! 0 -
Looks like the scope rings are barely clamped onto the base. See if you can get a 1" longer base (about 1/2" longer front and rear). Best, Joe 0 -
The base is actually longer than it looks. I know, I know. That's what she said. I can do close-ups. 0
