Finally Got my First Black Rifle

[saddlebum]

aimpoints only come in red dot and they are as or more expensive as eotechs. I have a trs 25 that has been on atleast a dozen different guns and still my go to. I also have a primary arms 3 moa red dot that has been on one gun for 500+ rounds and it works fine

Another good option that won't brake the bank is the Vortex StrikeFire. I have had two. My first went on a beater gun and I abused the heck out of it. It held up great. I have one on my pistol now.

I will just disagree and leave this. My go to is an AR for HD.

+1 for the vortex strikefire and Vortex SPARC II Red Dot. I don't own one, (I have an aimpoint), but I have few friends that owns vortex and I have look through them; hard to beat for the price. Check PSA they have them on sale.

I strongly suggest you do some research on the AR as a home defense gun. There are some down sides to this application.

Many people have an AR in place for home defense, and it'll certainly do the job, but depending on where you live, it may not be the best choice.

Can't help much on sights. My Bushy has the typical peep sight configuration in a removable carry handle. For me home defense is handguns backed up by shotguns. I live in a neighborhood where collateral damage is a high likelihood with any rifle.

with proper defensive ammo ,IE: not fmj, 223/556 isn't anymore likely to over penetrate than buck shot or handgun cartridges. but speaking as someone who has fired an AR in the house it is brain busting loud

I used to keep my muffs by my pistol, because they are ALL really loud in a house. Lost/misplaced them in the move. Damnit!

If I can get to my large safe, my Suppressed AR is my HD weapon.

Next to my bed is a Suppressed M92A1.

Both have lights attached.

I have the Strikefire II and like it just fine.

 

[Barrett]

Used pump shotgun from the pawnshop.

Then look at the HD7 Lucid sight. About half of the price of an EoTech. Uses a normal battery. I am happy with mine, now, I want a tan one to match my FDE rifle.

Interesting read. Some of the info suprised me, some of it was complete manure.
