I like iron sights even though my accuracy is inherently limited with them. In the case of my AR I would like to have my cake and eat it too, so if I can scope the thing as well as keep the carry handle irons I would love to do that. The carry handle is a removable one with thumbscrews, so if I really had to or my vision degraded enough to make irons worthless, I could always remove it and just go with a scope only.
So a few questions:
- Is it practical to put a scope on the handle? I assume there are trade-offs. What are they?
- Am I better off buying one of the scopes that bolts directly to the handle or should I buy a regular scope and a base that fits the handle? I would think the latter would be the better choice.
- Can anyone recommend a 3X9 scope in the $100 range that would be acceptable? I understand that I would not be getting Leupold performance at that price, which is why I use the term "acceptable."
