Add a sling also, I like my CQD sling and mount. Good choices on the rifle and future optics. Love the EOTech's. Welcome.

I'll take better ones when I can find my camera.

Thanks everyone!

As for a sling I have a Blue Force Vickers Tactical sling to go with it and a Blackhawk that is currently attached to my paintball marker.
