Default tactical scope riser

If this has been addressed somewhere please redirect me. What I'm looking for is a riser to bring my scope up about 1/2 and back about 2" beyond the rail and has to have the picitiny mount on top. The scope I'm using is one piece. I have found a few but not quite sure they will work or still allow access to charging handle. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I use cantilever mounts on all ARs but even with these type mounts it's still works better if you put a extended latch on the charging handle.

I would suggest that you try amazon and search scope riser! Amazon is always my first stop for shooting accessories.

I have Nikon 3X9x40 scope with Nikon M Series 223 mount.
To me it's perfect!
Bought from Amazon!

Thanks for the reply Andy, Forgot to mention that my scope is one piece with mount built into the scope requiring a picitiny rail on top to mount to. That's definitely the style I'm looking for. This picture is the closest I've found but definitely not tall enough.

Here's the scope I wanted to use. Got it off Amazon but can't find anything that will work. May have to go with something different, with so many scopes of this style I just assumed there were plenty of mounting options.

I would say go to your local gun store, they all sell risers, I used a 1/2 inch on my first scope till I upgraded to better scope.
Here is picture of riser on my first scope!

Your mount I had the same problem, couldn't mount it cause the scope hit the rail.

What you are looking, a simple riser like have would do the trick!

Here is a clear picture of the riser.
If you click on the pictures it will get bigger, and if you hit the command key and the plus sign it will get larger to view the riser.

You want to try Midway, they have good selections and there people are knowledgeable to get the right part correct on the first try.

I bought a .7" riser from Bass Pro for mine. Worked out great for me.
