CHMSC, my personal preference isn't to scope something like yours (at least not a high quality break the bank scope)... but it DOES have a 20" barrel, so it's not like it can't shoot 300 yards. I'd definitely use a round that's got a little more heat to it than the 55g .223. The 1:8 can shoot pretty heavy bullets, and if you're chambered for 5.56, they have a little more heat on them.

But as far as the scope... I mean if you'll carry it to a new build anyway, pay good money for it. And it depends on how nice you want. It's really easy to pay a grand for a mid grade scope. That's part of the reason I don't scope mine.

Anybody having any luck finding .223 online recently? I figure probably not but it doesn't hurt to ask.

My red dot is at the forward end of the rail... maybe just a little farther forward but about the same as where your EXPS is. The EOTech was just a preference of "too busy" on the 65MOA ring. I found it a little distracting. I do like the slightly lower profile on those though. I was hesitant about the PRO at first, but it's not nearly as bulky as I thought it would be.

I don't know what I want for the .308 yet. But I really want something that's accurate and reliable for the 3-400 yard range. The AR is just not that weapon. Your gun is beautiful though. I like the silver lower. Is it polished or anodized?

The NP3 coating is made of a nickel alloy and Teflon, and only comes in silver. They use it on the upper, lower and bolt carrier assembly.

Yes I am going to go with a heavier grain. That's just the last batch I bought for short range for my other AR. I am going to scope it because I have seen some others do it and it works awesome. So I will see. I know 5.56/.223 has a lot more drop but I am wanting to play around with this caliber and see how it goes. Yup chamber for 5.56 and will get some when everyone stops buying it all up and it's not $1m for a 1000 rounds lol ya I am not wanting to pay quite that much yet. Next year I will splurge and buy a nice scope, right now i am just wanting something within reason, not 3k or 7k for a freakin scope.

Yeah I fixed my post. I was referring to my variant of the Mk12. Although you are correct, there is always an assumption that when someone says AR they are always talking about a 5.56. Lets not forget our AR10.
