Roy Elliot wouldn't

optics will depend on whether you want fast fixing on a target or accuracy. they have something called red dot that gives you fast sighting. a good scope will give you more accuracy at a distance.

ACOG 3.5x35 Scope with Red Chevron BAC Reticle - The ranging reticle is calibrated for 5.56mm (.223 cal) flat-top rifles out to 800 meters. Includes Flat Top Adapter (TA51)

I'd also ditch the pistol fore grip and go with an angled fore grip.

Also consider adding an adjustable cheek rest.... no I don't mean a piano stool.nonono

Ouch, 1300? My budget says 500. That's the first thing I'm going to do is put a forend grip on it

I think Red Dot will have my money. Just gotta research some. I'll wait when the gun gets here, get it in my hands a look it over

First time I have had to get a gun permit. I have always just walked in and purchased what I wanted and went home with it! New experience for me. A lot of paper work but nothing awful. I am going to take it to the range on Wed and try it out. Then will get a holster for it and apply for the CCW permit. EB

Good for you Beave. A buddy of mine has that same gun. If the range offers them, get the tutorial targets, they will left you know what you are doing wrong

I think the wife can handle it too. Will find out on Wed. EB
