Hi again, I suppose it's time for me to put my money where my mouth is. This is what I wound up doing:
Got the .308 AR-10T (all black)
---sent in my Military ID by fax, and purchased the one piece scope mount, MI front and rear sights, five pack bundle of magazines, Harris swivel bypod, 2 each of the side mount picatinny's, and one for the bottom.
---Went to brownells (
www.brownells.com) using my armorer's discount and picked up a Nationnal Match front sight post, Competitor plus sling, ladder style rail covers (you should use these if you have rails) Falcon Industries supported pistol grip, steel extended riser,bipod adapter, magpul target/sniper style adjustable stock ( I forget it's exact name, same item on the super sass model)
---Paid full price at Cabella's for the Winchester 2 gun case (I consider it a single gun case if you intend to have accesories) the Bushnell 4-16 Mil Dot reticle Dusk and dawn scope, and for fun the bushnell ACOG knockoff.
Yes, I dropped a big dime. However, I saved up to be able to do this. If I was unable to save up the money up front I would have done the exact same thing a little bit at a time.
I Knew the AR 10T was the exact rifle for me, and went from there. Basically I would reccomend comitting to a specific model, determine what you just have to have for it, and go from there. If youre a soldier like me, use your military discounts, you earned it.
