The linked rings won't work. You need "AR height" mounts and a cantilever mount is really the best option. That's because due to the AR's geometry, a scope has to be further forward on the receiver compared to a bolt gun. You want your optic mounted to the receiver only and not bridge over to the handguard (not an issue in your case). I've had a bunch of cheap scopes fail and it wasn't "damage" that killed them. Even though I no longer fool with cheap scopes, it still sticks in the back of my mind what 'can' happen. So for me, backup iron sights are cheap insurance. Since you already have a standard fixed gas block front sight, it's nothing to add a folding rear. Here's an example of a Primary Arms 1-6x in a Warne mount, over a folding Magpul rear sight. You can see from the picture that the scope hangs over the handguard and I don't even press my nose to the charging handle.
