What do you suggest for optics? I want something that can take me down range easily.

I'm spending my tax check on the build, so I'm making it a sewallman custom.

if you only plan to shoot less then like 50 meters just buy a really good RedDot, maybe with a magnifier? Anything more Id get you a nice scope. Im really not brand specific, My red dot i got on clearance at walmart for like 40$ reg 80$ and its decent, it works, has 4 different reticles, good for shorts - medium range

I wanna hunt as well as shoot down range. Not hunt anything half a mile away.. But a fair distance.

id get a nice acog then, good range, and if you need more you can add a magnifier, and presto.

Coolio, thanks guy

It'll be a few months while I wait for that income tax **** .

I'm having a custom handguard made, drop in 3fp trigger, nice m16 bolt carrier group.. Basically I have everything planned for the build besides the color scheme and stock. There are so many options, but the only mil spec stuff will probably be the pins.
