Hi guys. Names Jackson and I just picked up my first AR. it's a S&W m&p 15 magpul edition. Looking at a vortex sparc 2 and few more pmags and some ammo. Going to be mostly a solid plinker for me and my family to enjoy and shot generally from 100yds out. Looking forward to all the info here and understanding all the acronyms lol

Hello and welcome from a fellow noob!

Welcome, nice stick. Spend money on ammo and shoot it a lot. Probably get used to irons etc first before jumping in on an optic. Learn what you like and don't like about the rifle before making choices and try to resist the urge to spend $$$$$ on "upgrades" that you later realize just add weight and aren't needed

The S&W MagPul edition is a great factory AR.

You might need one of these accessories to mount the sling:

If you want to mount a light, IWC products are great:

The bipod is not really necessary unless you are using a magnified optic.
That one also looks a little tall for prone and bench shooting.  A shooting bag is a good alternative.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm fixing to order some pmags (3) and some ammo. I'll take your advice and play with irons first and go from there.

Welcome!  Nice set up.  I have a sparc I and I think you'll be more than happy with a sparc II.  Post more pics when you put it on

Got a vortex strike fire 2 opmod and Burris ar trippler. Does the gap between them look to wide? I had them closer but the Burris won't flip up with the caps down on the vortex. I can see through it fine but liked it when it was closer.

Disregard I fixed it. There was a little slop in the rail and the mount so i pushed as far forward as I could and tightened it down really good
