Look into the Vortex Sparc. Vortex makes some VERY solid optics and these so far are performing every bit as well as my EOTech & Aimpoint optics and the only question mark will be long-term durability. With the existing track record of Vortex optics I'm not too worried about it at all. Anyway, they run $199 retail (can be found for $180 shipped online) and remind me a LOT of an Aimpoint Micro but with a smaller 2MOA dot (Aimpoint now has a 2MOA option but it will cost you an arm along in addition to the base price on a Micro of your leg) and they key to this discussion is that it comes with a riser, a low pro mount and several spacers so that you can adjust it to just about any level in between. Here's a photo of one of my AR's as well as one of my AK's and both are wearing mounts that come with the optic itself (along with a little 2x magnifier that you can screw on) and not used are a couple spacers of various thicknesses.
