So I'm going to be doing my first build soon.... So far this is what I'm thinking...any thoughts?
AR-15 Build Aero or Anderson lower $50-$80 Lower parts kit $50-60 Hardened Arms complete upper and barrel $349 Magpul Stock $60 Stock Assembly $40 Troy forend grip $67 Vortex Strikefire II $179 |
|
$500 PSA CHF kit (everything minus the lower receiver)
Buy a Anderson lower or a PSA blem lower when they go on sale and you'll have a PSA rifle. |
|
The alternative is you make the vortex work until you get tired with it, lose $30-50 selling it, then buy the eotech/aimpoint anyway.
I think you would be better off sticking with irons and buying ammo first, then just save up for an optic. I like vortex glass, but in the end, if you want to depend on that rifle, it's your ass. |

You're assuming 'buy once, cry once' even applies here. Many people don't view these weapons as a must-have weapon that has to be reliable, etc. Most view them as toys, not tools. So something that LOOKS like a quality optic may meet the need and intent. That said, I'll usualoly say 'buy once, cry once.' Unlike all the cheaper products I've bought, that method doesn't let me down. |
