Im attempting to build a PRS with the upper that I have. DPMS upper with the mini-SASS bbl. With that in mind:
I need to raise the scope, which would you prefer- riser or higher rings?

Also, which stock? Currently has a collapsable. I would rather not the A2 stock, and aint got the moneyses fer a PRS. IS there a cheaper option that is decent? I know the ACE is popular, but I have no experience except with an A2.

Also, since Ill have to get a new buffer/spring and tube, are there any real differences in all the low mass, high mass and unicorn shit impregnated ones? I'm sure the unicorn shit one is the best, but...

Thanks!


Edited for more info.

I would use a riser, I think it would be more durable, Stocks??? Can't comment on that, as I only do A2s and Magpul...

Only fixed stock I have is an A2 so can't really comment on that.  As far as the rings vs riser - my  instinct says go with the rings.  I don't  have  anythkng to base that on, just realize that a riser adds more potential points of failure.

Thats kinda where Im at, riser= more durability, but rings less failure points. So, my debate goes on. Ill keep looking around and se what I can come up with. Thanks again folks! Keep em coming.

If this if for an AR15 then "Rings" only aren't the best choice.  You can't position the scope far enough forward for proper eye relief.  AR10 style generally will work however.   I use a GG&G GS1 one piece base on one of my guns.   Works great.  With the GS1 I can position the rings slightly more forward offering proper eye relief.  They extend past the upper receiver over the barrel/hand grip.

As far as the PRS stock I used to think I needed one but from what I've read most simply don't need it.  Maybe it seems more like a novelty.   I have an ACS on one of my guns and I like it but feel any of the cheaper Magpul stocks would work just as well.

Anyone want to take on the Buffer stuff? I will have to buy a rifle tube, spring and buffer if I want to use one of these stocks. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Any takers on the buffer and stuff? Is there any particular tube, buffer and spring that anyone recommends? There are so many different ones. Gets all jumbled up in me hed.
