I would not call a stock 6920 a bipod style scoped rifle.
If you are going for 1-2 inches at 100yrd then it will do that no problem. if you want to shoot over 300 yrds maybe something else. Not sure If I would spend over 80 bucks on a spotting scope. the 200??? is 400rds of ammo. There are some here with over 3k in a rifle without a scope or any extras. And there are some with 10-15 Ar's also a full auto AR lower is 11-12k without any other parts. 
If this is your first AR I would leave it be without scope and all the extras and just spend the money on ammo and mags and shoot it. get used to Iron sights and be GOOD with them before adding all the extras. then maybe upgrade. |

Two suggestions stand out as great ones:
The T-1 for the optic - if you're after a simple rifle with an optic, it's the best value out there. Sling and Magazines. Don't be afraid to spend $60 on a top end sling system, and over $100 for a usable starter set of magazines. A 6290 with a KAC or TROY MRF-DI rail will work great. If you care about floating the barrel, then THE choice is the DD Omega - great rail. A flashlight is up next on that list - the Surefire with the mount that fits your needs will take some effort to identify, but is worth the time and money spent. Minor furniture changes are worth considering - ACS Stock, MOE Grip and Trigger Guard, and a BAD if you're looking to add that ability. MBUS and TROY SPLP are the class of the field for rear sights. I was able to build out my wife's for $2500 using similar parts ($200 less on the stock weapon), including a soft case and improved trigger. $3000 is just fine for a budget, and you'll end up with a great carbine to show for it - take the time to decide completely on the setup, and once you have, don't look back. |

OP, Start with the basics. Pick up the rifle of your choice (but with your financial commitment start with a tier one manufacturer. COLT, Noveske, Sabre Defence, LMT to name a few). Build the rifle light, again a basic rifle with no scope. become proficient with your irons and grow from there. Keep in mind optics, rails, verticle fore grips and all the other toys we throw on our rifles add weight and have specific purposes. You need to decide what your rifle is for, SHTF, target shooting? There is always time to build off of the basic gun. Don't skimp on optics when you finally get to the point of a decision. There are no "cheap" quality optics out there.
Good Luck |

I am doing my research before I buy and this site has been a great help. As to use - you are correct. I'm looking closer at the 6940 now. I like to find one gun and learn to use it well. My handgun is a Glock 26 - why? 1. Reliable 2. Size and weight - I will carry it 3. Capacity (I also have a Kimber Compact CDP II - because I wanted a 45 - and Walther P22) So for an AR-15 my max usage would be 150 - 200yds but I would like to play with it out to further distances. SHTF - possibly but that is secondary. I'm looking closer at the 6940 now. There is a bewildering number of mfgs so I thought I would stick with what is generally accepted as the best mfg. and package. Quoted:

Not a bad revised list. Personally I'm not a fan of the 6940 but if you plan to use optics and get rails then it's a good choice. I see you said your max range would be 150-200yds or maybe more but what type of shooting do you plan on doing? I have a spotting scope but rarely use it because I can simply use binoc's to see 50-100yds where I typically shoot.
Don't try to go cheap on your scope, saving $350 will be very tough while staying with higher quality. Don't forget about your mount. LaRue's Trijicon combos or if you don't want to spend over $800 for the trijicon check out the XTR14 combo for just a little less. I have the XTR14 and like it a lot! Mark Larue even wrote a nice review on one he used on a hunt. It looks like you've forgot about ammo in an effort to cut costs, what are you going to feed this thing with?

putting aside funds for ammo is very easy to forget.i forget everytime. my last rifle cost me $3200 and i only had about 700 rounds sitting around for 2 ar15s and was too scared to shoot for fear of running out of ammo. i've since bought a couple thousand rounds and plan to buy more before i put more money into my collection. what good are the guns without the ammo? get the Colt, sling, ammo, gun bag and 10 or so mags and go shoot. figure out what mods you really want as time goes on. that way you will spend cash a little at a time and you'll have plenty of ammo to shoot.

If you are only going to go with a scope that is up to 4 power I would look for a lightly used or new ACOG.
I like them better than the Accupoint, Our troops use them. I know it's a fixed power but you get used to it up to closer ranges. there is the Bindon Aiming concept that they use to have both eyes open. look into this. Actually an Aimpoint is capable of good accuracy out to the stated 200yrds if you ge the 2 moa model. Still would not spend a ton on a spotting scope. The P-mags are the right choice. For Sling get the padded Vickers / Larue / Vtac. Best advice I can give is take your time and reserch you buys. Spend the money on quality gear once and not have to buy it again later. If you get a regular scope the Larue mounts are the way to go. Don't forget them in your buget. AMMO AMMO AMMO is going to cost more than your complete rifle in the long run. That $1300.00 rifle will use at least $10k in ammo in it's life. 10 grand in ammo is 25k rounds give or take if you buy Wolf or 77 gn Black Hills. |

UNLESS you're planning on hanging a lot of aftermarket stuff on your rifle, you don't need the rails. In fact, even if you want an item or two (like a vertical grip or a light), you can usually handle it with single rail "strips" that mount in the vent holes of the standard handguard. All I'm saying is think about whether you'll actually USE the rail before paying for it. Some of us liked 'em at first but have cooled off on the concept. Don't spend a lot of money on a spotting scope. I saw a 50x at Cabela's the other day for like $69. After all, it's mainly to see where your shots are going. I doubt you're going to be using it for special ops sniper missions to target bad guys. Many of us don't even own a spotting scope. Unlike many of these guys, I don't recommend military-grade, high-end optics. For $200 you can get a Millett DMS-1, which is a 1-4x variable with a lighted reticle and a 1 MOA center dot. I have two of them and couldn't be happier. Face it - you're not going to Afghanistan and you're not single-handedly holding off the Chinese hordes, so you don't REALLY need something designed to still be operational after the Earth has cooled off and we're all history. It's overkill. You'll be able to drive tacks at 200 yards with a 4-power with a 1 MOA dot, and the Millett is durable and reliable (and if your battery dies, the reticle doesn't go away anyway, so it's still perfectly usable. LINK to DMS-1 (This vendor, btw, also sells a nice cantilever mount called the SSALT that works beautifully with the DMS-1, and they sell it as a bundle with the scope.) Last but not least, I'm also not a fan of weapon lights. The likelihood of actually needing one is low and they add weight and expense. (Watch me get flamed for that! )
So ... my list would include: $1150 - Colt 6920 90 - Gripod (if you must - I don't like 'em myself) 100 - Case 150 - 10 Pmags 50 - Sling 500 - Ammo (to get started) $1950 - Total |

I still may waite awhile before I make the purchase - prices coming down and it is getting cold here in the south. Thanks again, I appreciate it. |

I hava DMS-1.
It is ok, not great but just ok. The black dot in circle is good but the black 1moa dot is VERY hard to see on a target unless it is lit. I have the fungus problem in mine and have not bothered to send it in for repair. I can only see it in the dark when lit. in sunlight it is not visable. they are made in China and run 200-230 ish. I like the Leupold that Jcrowl has the link to. the 1.5x4 model is the same style as the DMS but only has a 1in tube not 30mm. 
The DMS is ok but would not buy another having had one. I have ACOG's and would buy one for every rifle that did not have an Aimpoint on it if funds would allow. |

BCM quality is much better than RRA.
J&T probably does not have M4 ramps. Even if it did the quality has always been of question. RRA tends not to use M4 ramp or are hand cut. Barrel steel is not as good, usually 1/9 instead of 1/7 twist. RRA most times does not use F height front site. For the money the BCM is about the best out there and you won't have to put it together. |

For the money the BCM is about the best out there and you won't have to put it together. +1 - I have a BCM middy and agree 100%. |

There are other flashlight mounting options that can be done with plastic hand guards. |

Bravo has middy upper groups that already have Daniel Defense or Larue Tactical freefloat rails installed from the start. I know a lot of people buy things based on the way they look and it's thier money and thier right to, obviously. I went down that road too and I think most people have. I was just trying to point out that having a heavy gun loaded up with stuff that is not needed gets old after a while. But you will have to travel down that road yourself to see what works for you and what doesn't. |

Or maybe you should buy a rifle with a few thousand rounds and call it a day.
Then take a few classes. Then, after taking a class or two and you say to yourself "Wow, having X on my rifle would make Y drill so much easier...." you go out and buy X. Spend under $1k on your rifle, spend $2k and change on ammo and classes and you will be very, very happy. |

Quoted: I would not call a stock 6920 a bipod style scoped rifle. If you are going for 1-2 inches at 100yrd then it will do that no problem. if you want to shoot over 300 yrds maybe something else. Not sure If I would spend over 800 bucks on a spotting scope. the 200??? is 400rds of ammo. There are some here with over 3k in a rifle without a scope or any extras. And there are some with 10-15 Ar's also a full auto AR lower is 11-12k without any other parts. If this is your first AR I would leave it be without scope and all the extras and just spend the money on ammo and mags and shoot it. get used to Iron sights and be GOOD with them before adding all the extras. then maybe upgrade. fixt it for ya! |
