You are probably talking about an AR-10 . I don't have 1 of those I have an AR-15 with a carrying handle top.
I have a mount that locates through the hole in the handle and everything can be removed and replaced without having to be re-sighted in.
Can also still use the sights underneath.
I have a Redfield Revolution 3-9x50 for it.
I have removed and re-installed the whole thing ( it's only 1 nut that holds it all on) about 4 times and it's always right on the money each time.
I know it isn't very top of the line, but it has worked pretty well for me, and I think it would be even better on a carry handle AR-10.

its going to be 6.5 GRENDEL setup.
Posted on 8/5/18 at 10:06 pm to Jarlaxle
Not enough for an elk but I’d probably put a 3-9x or a 4-12x

That's a broad question. What's your budget?

If you are saying 6.5 Grendel is not enough for elk, you are not correct.

Sig sauer Romeo 5 if you want a solid red dot optic
Posted on 8/6/18 at 9:50 am to Jarlaxle
Vortex or Meopta.

I’m in agreement with others that 6.5 Grendel would be pushing it for elk. A quick google search shows a 123gr Hornady SST doing 2580 at the muzzle. Just for reference, my dad takes his 300 win mag elk hunting and that slings a 180gr pill at 2950. Those two aren’t even in the same orbit in terms of muzzle energy.

I just got one of these. Fantastic scope and for $750 there isnt really another scope that compares. Bushnell LRHS 4.5-18x
ETA: The 3-12x version would be better, but its not a part of this deal.

I didn’t say it wouldn’t kill one. I said he shouldn’t try to use it.
Kinda like a .22 on a whitetail. Will it kill it? Absolutely.
Do you have a really good chance of something bad happening?
Damn straight.
Not the wisest choice for an elk.
