The carry handle can be removed. Want something for recreational use (nothing to serious). Mid-range quality scope. Can anyone Help me out with selecting something with these constraints. |

Welcome to the Forum -
Your carry handle can be removed, but what about the front ramp sight?
Do you want to co-witness with your front sight? Do you want to move towards fold down, back up iron sights ( BUIS ) in the future?
How far are you wanting to shoot? Target shooting? Varmint shooting? Zombies in the wire?
Do you want a heads up sight, like a Reflex or an Aimpoint or an EoTech? Or do you want a low power glass optic?

A buddy has an inexpensive BSA red dot on his FrankenAR. It hit beer cans out to about 75 or 100 yards. After that, the 4 MOA dot is just too big. It still gives minute of bad guy accuracy, but it's not a target scope.
Walmart carries some decent quality, low end Leupolds for a few hundred dollars. | |

See as far as the front sight goes IDK what would be best. Do you recommend BUIS?
As far as distance goes Im pretty sure nothing over 500 yards. Would be target shooting and some varmint.
I would want both in the future as far as optics. But as of right now low power glass is what I am looking for. I also have my eyes on Aimpoint for heads up. | |

I know this is on a AK but they all fit on my AR too.

canebrake thanks for the pictures and your help. IN the first picture you have posted can you tell me what you optic is mounted on? Looks like some sort of riser. I only ask because I need something like that to see over the front sight.
