Fantastic choice in AR! DD makes one hell of a rifle.

Still weighing my options there.


Do you know what distances you will be shooting? For a combat/close acquisition system, I would go with a red dot optic. But if you wanna extend your range a bit, a low-to-mid power scope would be good for you as well. I would keep the objective at 30mm or 40mm to keep the rifle small and compact. I think seeing a 50mm or 60mm scope on a 16" AR is a bit comical.

That's primarily what I'm considering. I know I don't want a strict medium/long distance optic like the 4x Acog, for example, because I want something suitable for close quarters. So I'll be looking at EOtech (Red dot/3x magnifier combo maybe), Aimpoint, the Elcan Specter DR, and some other stuff.
