Carrying Handle fixed power scopes.

Searching Google can be a headache these days, full of so called reviews, etc..

Can anyone give me an idea of what moderately priced fixed 3X, or 4X fixed power scopes designed to mount on an AR Carrying Handle are available new/used. The one similar to the one offered by Colt is what I'm thinking of. I'm aware of the limitations, I'll be using the irons most of the time but I'd like something that my failing eyes can resolve while working up a load or two.

If it has to be on a carry handle, TA-11 Acog. Acogs were originally designed to fit on the carry handle. Out of all the acogs the TA-11 3.5X has the most forgiving eye relief (3 inches). Be aware that you will not get a good cheek weld when mounting an optic on the carry handle unless you build it up some.

Thanks for the response. I knew the cheek weld would be a minor issue, and the reason I'd prefer an optic designed to mount directly to the handle. It doesn't look like there are many choices available these days that aren't way out of reach due to cost, or not worth considering due to them being poorly constructed. Looks like I'll be falling back to my original plan of fixed 10X off the bench and Irons for the rest.
