...in Austin at GT Distributors.  $329.95.

Is this a good deal?
Is this a good optic for a 16" carbine?
Any recommendations on a mount without breaking the bank?

Thx-

EDIT:
Yes, it's NIB and marked part number 10338.  
One just sold (NIB) on Ebay for $295 from Talon1911...
Still a good deal?

If it's new, that's a very good price.  You generally see them over $400.  That is low enough I would want to find out why it's that price.  That is about the price of a Comp C.

That's a great sight for the 16" carbine.  I use mine on a 16" RRA to shoot 8" x 6" steel plates freehand at 200 yards.  

I think this one comes with a mount.  Go with the Aimponit mount or the Larue (sp?) tactical.

That's lower than dealer cost.  I don't think these guys are in the benevolence business, so I would look at this skeptically.  

FWIW most places don't sell stuff at a loss.

That's why they call themselves G T "Distributors"  Distributor pricing is lower than dealer.

When I lived in Austin/San Marcos I bought a ton of stuff from them.  They are good to deal with.

That's been our standard show price for a while now so the price is reasonable for the ML2.  The ML2 doesn't come with a mount so your options are going to be the Aimpoint mount, ARMS 22M68 or the LaRue standard mount or the cantilever mount.  My preference is the LaRue mount.

You don't have to be a "Distributor" to be able to offer that kind of price.  Any Dealer in good standing could sell at that price if they wanted to.
