Next Piece on Your Hit List?

**GOST** · 23 January 2015, 20:31

What's the next piece you're wanting to buy? My rifle assembly process isn't an exact science. I usually end up buying one component and slowly assembling a rifle around it. And I'm probably slower at the process than the rest of you, about a 2 year time frame for me.

I have started this one with a BAD-15 lower that's gonna be SBR'd. And I keep getting drawn to a Lantac UAR to go with it, no particular reason why I just like it. I'm also waiting on BCM to release either a 11.5" BFH ELW or a 12.5" BFH ELW.

One of them 3 components is next on my hit list. What's next on yours?

I have been on a rebuild kick lately. The only thing I need for my next rebuild is to decide on what Optic an mount I am going to put slap on a 20 H-bar barrel.

Have you narrowed down the suspects yet?

**MonkeyBomb** · 23 January 2015, 20:48

I am leaning for simple and something I have never messed around with too much. A Leupold Mark AR MOD 1 1.5-4x20mm P5. Probably a duplex since I can save about 120 bucks off the fire dot. The Mount is still up for grabs

My style is usually to really try to think through what I am getting. It took me quite a long time to actually buy the stuff to build my AR (this was from a lot of different reasons). After owning one that I put together pretty much myself I am now trying to develop very specific preferences and I am still in experimental stage. Right now I am testing ammo. I am trying to sort out which ammo is the best for my needs and which one the rifle likes the best.

I usually take a very scientific methodology to decide what I want. For the most part I am really glad I took the time to get quality parts for my AR. The only part that I didn't take an extremely long time to buy was the optic. Mainly that was because of money constraints. I just read some reviews and bought it because the price was right on some pre-Christmas sale....

That said for my current AR I was just looking at the US Optics page and they have a 1-8x FFP optic that I was looking at. That thing just might be the stuff for me. I don't know for sure. The more I read and look the more I want to see and try. I will probably take another few months to learn about scopes but always its a little leap of faith regardless of the part. It takes owning and using a particular component to really learn it's traits. That said I am of the school that if you know your equipment and it's tendencies and quirks you develop habits around using them.

So for me I am trying to sort out ammo preferences (mainly because I get some jollys from accuracy)... once I do that I will probably buy a few cases of whatever I pick just so that I can have consistency. At the same time I want to upgrade my optic.

That SR-8C 1-8X Red Dot is a sexy piece. Outta my price range, but I'd love to have one.

I need to finish my Stickman/San Tan Receivers. No clue what direction I'm going with that.

Waiting to buy a Fortis REV II 14" on my CMT Left Handed Upper

Sent 2 14.5" Rainier Arms Mountain Barrels to the Smith to be cut and re-threaded to 10.3"

**MonkeyBomb** · 23 January 2015, 21:14

If I go with the Leupold Mark Ar I will probably go with the Mark 2 IMS 1" Integral Mounting System for simplicity. With my limited dealing with that type of scope I think that would be the ticket.

I just hate not knowing things. Which sort of makes me a sponge about asking a billion questions and trying to learn. Learning about all these components has seriously been a crash course.

I was looking at this one....

There are just so many choices it makes it difficult unless you can just go somewhere and pick them up and play with them a little bit. I hate spending money on things I don't really understand all the way. Things like 'why is the SR8-S $500 cheaper than the SR8-C?" just drive me nuts.

If I had 100 million in the bank I would just not really care. I could just buy and try and figure out what I like. But I don't have that option... not yet at least.

**jymbeux** · 23 January 2015, 21:23

Silencerco saker 7.62 or omega 7.62,and a 1911 (Springfield TRP Operator, TRP stainless, or Dan Wesson Specialist). Thinking that the suppressor should be my next move, as I don't have one and would like to have one for hunting season.

What makes the SR-8C different is that not only does it have cross hairs, but it also uses beam splitter technology. Basically incorporating both a red dot and cross hairs. Here's a pic from Bobro's Facebook page that shows what I'm talking about.

AAC 51t and VG6 blast shields, and a remington 700 or savage bolt gun. Hopefully magpul and the likes release savage chassis.
