I have an M-15 Armalite. Very nice rifle. .223 caliber. I have a Nikon 3x9 x 50 scope on it. I paid $170 for it. I kinda wish I would have looked for and found a BDC reticle scope. I think the best scopes are the Trijicon and Svarski (wrong spelling) $600 and up, Never really priced them cause I am not a competition shooter. As far as the red dot....I cant give an answer, I dont know of anyone that has one. A good friend of mine has the S/W M-P 15 rifle you are talking about, nice, lightweight in .223. He paid $800 after $100 mail in rebate. He also has the little laser mounted on the side of the rifle, cool. All the laser is for is quickly finding the target in close quarters, if you have to use it as home defense.
What is the obvious reason for getting an AR style of rifle, in your opinion?
I think all AR style of rifles are good as long as they are US made or Swiss or German. (dont buy the Oriental imports) If you want the best and can afford to spend $1250 get the Sig Sauer in 5.56, super nice, SWAT team looking stuff. I have fired 5 of the AR style rifles and all had crosshair type scopes, I have never used a red-dot sight.
I have fired Armalite, S/W, Remington's new .223, Lewis machine too, (nice) and a Colt, Nice. All of these were .223 caliber.
Money of course plays a factor and my rifle and scope total $ 1,300. Not cheap but, Fun.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr ... [Read Article]
