Thanks for the suggestions so far guys.

well, I read the underlined terms above, so here's a cheapie-but-a-goodie-sorta

just be willing to deal with not precisely 1x magnification (very hard to tell 1.1 to 1), some glare with illuminated reticle (big deal, use w/o illumination), and mushy adjustment screw (quite a big deal at first, but once it's set, it's GTG)
or this with Larue mount, cowitnessed with BUIS. I've abused this one myself with offset mount on the OBR. Also met group guy who set his ACOG and TRS25 on offset. Works like a charm

If there's enough dough for it, then hard to beat what everyone has recommended.
EOTech XPS with 3 or 5x magnifier, cowitnessed with BUIS. I've seen poor iron-sight shooter performed way better than his qual card indicated once he ran an EOTech
