I am stuck and cannot decide what direction to head for my next build. So, I would like you guys to help. Here are the options.
#1 
#2 
#3 
Sorry, I don't know how to do a poll. ETA: It will be Spikes and BCM with magpul goodness. ETA: All I have currently is a Spikes carbine. I want the build to be a good all around weapon for SHTF/HD. The farthest I regularly shoot is 100 yards, but I would like to be able to go out to 200 or so if need be. I don't see myself ever shooting much farther than that. |

no magnification is needed for minute of man accuracy at those ranges, so I would go with #3, but in a mid-length configuration. Also needs a light. This. I like number 3 in a mid-length, for your stated use, KISS. +1 I would personally go middy with the yet to be released mid-length MOE with a light mounted, and standard front sight base. Weighs less than a full rail, better ergo, still allows for light, and is much cheaper. Just my 2 cents. |

MOE mid-length is shipping today to vendors per the Magpul forum :) I vote #2, the flip to side magnifier is a bonus for precision at distance, but doesn't have to be in the way for close up shots. You also get more rail space to push the light mount out farther. |

Number 2 for sure. I always tell people to use an optics system that optimizes the capabilities of the weapon. AR's are somewhat unique in that they're excellent in close quarters but are also accurate and effective enough for much longer distances. Therefore, I would prefer an optics system that allows me to maximize both capabilities. You can flip the magnifier to the side with the push of a button at close ranges and pop it up for long ranges. Also, unlike with the variable power scopes, you'll be able to co-witness with your irons through the sight if it ever craps out. If your scope is somehow rendered inoperable, you have to take it completely off to use irons.
Just my .02
