I concur with Roscoe's advice re the lower-powered Leupold. I do a lot of shooting with my Bush Shorty carbine (16" barrel), but in a different application. I use a 6X20X44mm target/sil scope, as I use the Bush for varmint shooting out to 300 yds or so. For your use as a l.e.o., the Leopold would probably fit the bill. I've installed Trijicon night sights on my Bush, but doubt that I'll ever use them.

I don't have any problem with scope height,with my scope mounted on my carry handle. I guess that's just a matter of personal preference.

You might consider a good tactical flashlight mounted on the AR, as opposed to the laser, red dot, etc. I have a PDP3 mounted alongside and below my scope on my Bush, but it's for play, not for the serious business that you're in.
