I've been pleased with my Cav arms stocks.
But the template logarithmic a throw away, you will want to get an A1 or A2 replacement.

Absolute. I have astigmatism so looking at the dot through the rear peep works best for me.

@RyanH what colors did you use? Base coat too. That is a great looking camouflage and pattern. Kind of looks like it would fit into my environment. I'm in Virginia.

I painted that gun 5 years ago. I think it was Rustoleum camo paints. Base layer was green, then I used black, brown, and tan that I painted over sticks, clumps of pine needles, and whatever else I found behind my house. I thought it turned out pretty good actually...way better than it should have since I had no idea what I was doing. Just got lucky. Lol

Something i think is funny right now is how tons of people who hate carry handle ARs and red dots mounted on them are now moving to ultra high mounts for their flat tops. A lot of the arguments were height over bore blah blah
