We use basically the same scope, only I have to have it low and all the way back. So I put it just under the front of the scope. Works fine except I run a quad rail w attachments, I have to put the front sight on the quad since there is a height difference between gas block rail and quad rail. Thing is quad rail moves, it should be mounted on gas block like yours. Did you run into a issue sighting it in like that or do you have some sort of a spacer?
Are there any problems associated with zeroing BUIS when they are offset by 45* ? I have a longstanding tendency to create problems even when none exist. Perez hep me. DavidClark
