Check out these two.
ModGear Ultimate Carbine Case, available in black, coyote tan, & OD green.
I really like this case because of the additional storage and sturdy construction.
Bulldog Ultra Compact AR-15 Discreet Carry Case.
I use this case when I feel the need to be discreet and don't want to advertise that I'm toting an AR-15. For example when I use the Bass Pro range and have to walk across the retail floor to get to the range, the discreet case draws less attention on a busy weekend.

I've never seen a scope mounted in that manner. Does it hold zero, with two risers mounted together? Is there a reason you chose to not mount it on your carry handle, or just kept the BUIS and mounted the red dot with the high mount forward on the rail?

I am curious also as to why you didn't just mount it on top of the carry handle

Well, I wanted a functional carry handle. The way I have the sight mounted now allows me to put three fingers through the handle to carry it around.
It seems to hold zero well, even when firing 3-5 round bursts at the rate the stock allows. Both risers are very sturdy and they don't move at all. I put 240 rounds through it the first time I was out with this configuration and the screws didn't loosen at all. (Although the carry handle and foregrip screws loosened a bit.)
Like I said at the top, this is my first AR-15, so I just built it the way it would functionally work best for me. I do appreciate the suggestions though. Thanks.

The Slide Fire stock is incredible. I've fired a fully auto, registered AR-15 before and there's almost zero detectable difference between that one and mine.

Glad it works for you. I was just curious about the whole thing staying tight. With two risers and the high mount holding the red dot, that seems like a lot of mass that is going to act like a lever on your rail system.
I would love to play with that Slide Fire stock, just wouldn't want to feed it more than once or twice.

I see where you're coming from. The entire setup (both risers and sight) is really light compared to the strength of the rail handguard. I don't know if you're familiar with this particular quad rail, but it is pretty heavy and sturdy. It definitely adds more weight to the muzzle end than I would prefer, but it does the job well. When I was putting the idea together in my head I had a concern similar to yours, but when I assembled everything it was very apparent the stress from the sight was minimal at best. (For example, the shipping weight for the sight is 1.2 lbs, but I weighed it and it's only 0.5 lbs.)
That stock definitely keeps my wallet empty!
