You should try a Colt 4X handle mount, the optic center line is less than .500" above the iron sight center line. Compared it to a typical 1-4X AR scope and one piece mount on a flat top it's just over 1" higher at the center lines. If you can't adjust your cheek weld for that, then the pigmy's shrunk your head.

There's nothing retro about a removable carry handle
