What type and height mounts would I need for a Bug Buster scope? It comes with QD rings The front sight is regular AR 15 type. I want it to clear the fold down rear sight, when folded. This is my first AR based rifle, M14's were still issue back in 66. Thanks in advance.

An rings of the appropriate diameter that raise the centerline of the scope to 1.375"–1.5".
In most cases this height allows enough clearance for the eyepiece to clear a rear folding BUIS. Given that the scope's eye relief leaves enough rail space to mount a rear sight.
Cantilever mounts or rings can be used to either mount the scope further forward or used in reverse to gain a little more picatinny space to the rear.
Inexpensive scopes can be okay as long as you don't plan on messing with the turrets a lot.Comment

I think most people use UTG High Mounts from Amazon for around $12 to $15."Show me a young conservative and I'll show you a man without a heart. Show me an old liberal and I'll show you a man without a brain." - Sir Winston Churchill
