Probably go with a reasonable option for the time being and see if it ends up being money wasted. Thanks guys.

The m&p sport 2 isn't a bad gun and it'll surely be fine for range playing and all that. But colt is the glock 19 of ARs. It's tough to beat for a 1 and only AR. Plus resale on them is great. If you get one now and there's ever a panic again (when, not if) you can double your money.

Just got an unexpected surprise . . . an email came through from this woman who leads a team that we just implemented an application for. They kind of dropped it on us as an emergency and a couple of us have been busting our butts to get it in place. Way more work than they said it would be, but we've been making it happen. She put me in for an internal award that we have and it was apparently approved . . . so she wrote a nice note to my boss and I got a little cash bonus. Then my boss emailed his boss about it. Not a ton of cash, but better than a kick in the butt.

Yea I pretty much choose the rifle and scope as a dedicated pair, I.e long bbl flat shooting cartridge is getting a good quality long range optic with target turrets. I recently bought a DPMS on sale because it was too cheap to pass up, because it's not getting a good trigger that's got a vortex spitfire (also on sale) mounted on it. So that will pretty much stay in that configuration. Hoping to sight that in this weekend. I really like that optic so far even though I haven't sighted it in. That 1moa center dot looks like it should be pretty precise as far as my eyes will work. I just don't mess with moving scopes around. I have to drive 2 hours to shoot long range so it's pretty much a process to have to sight a rifle in. If I could walk out my back door and have 600 yard range I'd be more inclined to tinker with things I guess.Depends on what it is you're doing.
I like to flip my irons up and pull off my scope and shoot irons every once in a while. We also have a Vortex Spitfire prismatic sight on the wife's AR with an ADM QD mount. The gun is too tall with the optic on to fit in our tactical wall when my rifle has the accupoint on it, so we run her rifle with the MBUS II's flipped up and the optic off. It's nice not needing to completely redial the optic.
If I had a higher magnification scope for my AR, I'd be interested in throwing that on there, or maybe running an MRO and a higher mag scope. My current scope (Accupoint 1-4x) works great for me, but others have 1x red dots and might want to be able to run a regular scope without rezeroing.
Of course, if you have a single dedicated optic for each gun and never change them, I imagine the value is reduced.

During my research on uppers yesterday i ran across one jackass on one board that has it in my head that keymod/mlok guards are inherently flimsy and not the best choice for mounting sights or optics.
Any truth to this?

tempted to do a stencil on my AR myself, but....i'm also a perfectionist when it comes that stuff. If it doesn't come out perfect I'm gonna hate it. Might just pay a couple hundo to have the local shop do a Cerakote stencil job on it and do it right the first time.
