I tried putting RMR on top of an ACOG and while it works it was not worth the hassle for me. The RMR sits too high over the bore line. So I would not recommend doing this:

ACOGs are generally low magnification (around 3x) and are designed to be useable even very up close for most models. So personally I just go with ACOG alone and it works good enough up close for me. Learn to use the bindon aiming concept and skip the red dot for ACOGs:

As for backup sights I use TROY folding iron sights:

Get yourself a larue mount for your ACOG. These mounts you can put on and take off all you want and they keep the zero (regular lever mount, DO NOT GET THE VFZ). Make sure you pick the correct mount for your model ACOG:

These things are well worth the $100-$140 that larue charges for them.
Then you can zero your IRONs, fold them and put your ACOG back on. With the larue mount it literrally takes 2 seconds to take off or put the acog back on and they keep the zero (this has been tested taking optics off and putting them back on 50+ times and they still kept the zero).
