I've never used a scope on an M16, just iron sights. I picked a medium mount that lets me cowitness my iron sights through the red dot. If it isn't TOUCHING the charging handle and you can operate it, I can't see why mounting it lower will hurt. You were shooting indoors at 25 yards? All the charging handle does is move the bolt carrier back and forth...once the BCG is locked in battery, the charging handle has no more effect on it
