thats the exact optics my brother was telling me about. Its suppose to be an exact replica of the aimpoint or something.

IMHO - either buy good optics, or stay with Iron Sights.
If you can't depend on optics (read cheap optics), they are a liability.

Then i highly suggest you wait untill you have the funds to buy and optic. The bushnell is ****, pass on that. The vortex is surprizing a decent sight however.

You can find aimpoint PROs for $399 online, and they come with their own mount so you dont need to purchase one.

Dont skimp on optics, buy from a reputable company with a good warranty.. and 20k hours of continuous run time is nice too

I have heard after harsh applications the Mbus tends to break.

If you have a gas block then you can't use magpuls anyway, keep that in mind. I learned that the hard way and had to get Troys.

Get a set of good irons and learn the fundamentals (zeroing, holdovers, etc) before buying optics. Optics are not the first thing you should get for a new carbine. A good sling and white light are what you should be looking at.

A lot of people these days build/buy their first AR and want to accessorize it to death with a bunch of crap. I'll echo what a couple of people in this thread have already told you. Save up for a proven optic. Buy once, cry once.

If you think an Aimpoint is expensive, wait until you start looking at quality low power variable scopes like this one: Leupold Mark 8 CQBSS 1.1-8x24 Riflescope FREE S&H 110121, 112564, 114921, 116669, 116670. Leupold Rifle Scopes.

What are people using for a foregrip? I was originally thinking vertical, but now I am thinking angled may be better. Anyone using an angled?

RAILS & ACCESSORIES - AFG2™ - Angled Fore Grip

*edit - was reading the reviews and ended up ordering it.

Fortunately this one is a rimfire so I believe a foregrip is OK. It is just for squirrels and target. That also means the mag release button works without a tool

Confirmed on Calguns, it is allowed.

I have a set of troys for my 16" and so far no regrets, buy quality first time around.

I plan on getting the magpul rvg, I'm also ordering the afg for my mossberg 500.

My AR came with a fore-grip from the factory, it was nice for a while, i found putting my pinky and ring finger on it (like a hand stop) and putting my thumb around the rail was best.. that got annoying so i bought an afg from magpul and im very pleased with it.

Lets get a range day set up and shoot some ****
