Picked up an m&p sport and wondering what are good budget brands to pick up. Looking into the vortex sparc or spitfire 2 cant decide between the two. Whats a good budget quadrail as well, not something i'm going to need hundreds of dollars for. Not crazy worried about every ounce of weight just a solid carbine length rail. Also don't really want a magpul rail not a fan of the plastic.

just spend the money and get an Aimpoint PRO, you'll be glad you did. For the last few years I've been using a Vortex StrikeFire and thought it was "good  enough", I finally broke down and bought a PRO and I wish I had right away. Finer dot makes shooting accurate easier, and the battery life is 10x's better than the vortex.

Are you looking for a drop in rail or a free float? There are lots of good choices out there for around $100.

Do this and then pick up a KAC M4 RAS for around $100-$125 in the EE.  Can't get a much more solid drop in quad than that.

UTG is toy gun type stuff. Avoid at all costs.

Pick yourself up a KAC RAS and an Aimpoint PRO, and you'll be golden.

the UTG Pro line is the US made stuff and it supposed to be good, but I've never seen one in person. Primary Arms is selling them for $120(free float models) which really isn't that much cheaper than some of the other cheaper brands.

Look at MIdwest Industries rails or SLR rails.

Drop in rail and good optic and you are set.  Don't rule out an EOTech 512 if you see one for under $400 from optics planet with coupon code.  I beat the crap out of mine and it runs fine.

An Aimpoint PRO would be money much better spent than on an EOTech.
