Looking for a scope for my AR-15

Iam looking for a cheap scope for my AR-15 so it will rest on my carry handle. I want to be able to use my scope and my iron sights any idea's. Any links to the sights were you saw the item post them thanks.

I have a few used one's hell I ll sell one to you for $10 bucks + shipping let me know
Here is what I have

I think it's a 4X compact Lepers that I painted ACU
A NC star with bullet drop 100-500 but appears fuzzy when you zoom all the way in 3x9
And a Simmons 3X9 that is very clear.

And I have a friend that bought a scope mount for an AR15 for his AR10 and it does not fit so he would sell it brand new.

As you'll find, a magnified scope on the carry handle isn't very easy to shoot with. You lose your cheek weld completely getting your head up high enough, which means you lose stability, especially if the scope has narrow eye relief. It works - I've done it for testing a number of times - but for routine shooting, it's a pain. Stock cheek pieces can help by getting your head up higher while still maintaining a fairly solid cheek weld.

Non-magnified optics are easier and more effective, since eye location is less critical.

If your carry handle is removable, there are better options. If not, the best bet would be a non-magnified optic mounted ahead of your carry handle and co-witnessed with the iron sights. Still, it's not too expensive to try out - some people like it.

Best bet for most people is a flip-down rear sight (it has to be low enough to fit under your scope/mount combo, which is the subject of a whole 'nother post) and a quick-release scope mount with the correct height and forward offset, but this gets pricey. If you don't mind using tools to remove the mount, there are lots of decent non-QR mounts for a lot less money.
