  1. Dolomite-

    I used mildots while a sniper in the 82nd..I never thought of using one on an AR. They cost a buttload then.

    I believe I want a shorter scout-type scope - maybe cantilevered or easy remove I started researching online but hard to make decisions without seeing and holding.

    As for a red dot I believe small and cheap would prove good enough for this application.

  2. I've wanted a 'combat rifle' for sometime. I was going to go with an M14-style but the price and the weight gave me issues. The changes in the AR/M16 since I was in service piqued my curiosity but I never studied them at all until Dolomite made a sound argument to me. Now I'm looking at red dots and all that other stuff. Next, I'll start reloading. Must be a curse.

  3. Glad to see you got one.

    You need to get a membership for Norris, if you don't already. It is one of the best ranges in the area. Self policing and a lot of nice people out there.

    I have been there. Is it still $25 a year and they give you a key for the gate?

  4. I have now joined the club. Special thanks to Dolomite for his informative posts (and the persuasive argument he made when I purchased a S&W .38 Bodyguard from him in December).

    I finally decided to purchase an AR about a month ago and began researching on TGO. After reading and watching everything I could find on the net I decided on the S&W M&P 15 Sport. Finding one has proven difficult, as everyone on TGO has noted.

    Today, my wife and I were out and about and I decided to stop at Gander Mtn. and see what kind of special order they might do for me.

    I waited 5 minutes for someone to open up and asked the fellow if they carried the Sport and how I could order one. His reply was "I believe we have one in back that has been on hold for 3-4 weeks. If it is still there I'll bring it out and you can look at it." I answered with, "If it's there I'll buy it." 15-20 minutes later I walked out with the AR and 420 rounds of 5.56.

    OTD right at $1000

    Thanks to this forum and all the great posts.
