Just what the doctor ordered - Radian Weapons Raptor Ambidextrous Charging Handle

I recently built an AR platform based .308 set up as a Designated Marksman Rifle, reviewed elsewhere on this site. The rifle ran without a hitch with the first sight setup but, when I changed the optic, it was virtually impossible to engage the charging handle around the scope. I tried another charging handle, which helped but didn't quite fix the problem entirely, especially when wearing gloves. The Radian Raptor came with good reviews so I have it a shot (pun intended). I am glad I did. The Raptor solved the problem, feels solid and is easy to manipulate, even with a scope in the way and wearing gloves. Would highly recommend.
