Re: AR guys look what i bought

For optics, don't get a cheap POS as they will have trouble holding zero. Spend a few hundred on a used aimpoint or eotech.

Re: AR guys look what i bought

Primary Arms are GTG, I've run them before and they get good reviews on AR15. If you are in a life or death situation, sure, go ahead and spend more on your optics than your gun, but for a hunter, casual shooter there's no need.

Re: AR guys look what i bought

Yep, I looked at reviews on AR15.com, and narrowed it down between primary arms and vortex. I chose the primary arms because its almost a direct clone of the aimpoint.

I wanted to try out an optic but i didnt want to spend the $500 or more for a top of the line piece because I wasn't even sure if I would like it. Turns out I shoot just as well using a tritium post in my front sight as I did with the optic. I chose to stay with the irons.

Whatever optic you get I'd also recommend getting a good set of flip up irons as a backup.

What kind of red dot are you looking for? I have a primary arms multi-reticle red dot and a 3x magnifier both with mounts that I'm looking to sell. The primary arms red dots look similar to aimpoints.
I to get a red dot that doesnt look like a normsl scope, but any would work for what im using it for lol (home defense, defense while walking on 49 acres, zombie apocalypse and fun )

Right, the one with out the dust cover and forward assist is the M&P 15 Sport, i got a true M&P 15 5.56 NATO AR15.

Im happy that i stepped up to this one instead of just getting the Carbon 15 or the M&P 15 Sport.

I already have a mod list going, i can't wait to start ordering parts lol
