Depends on what mount it comes with, isn't very clear.

Probably need to call and ask.

If it's a good mount, then it's a good deal.

No mount. Would buy a Larue QD seperately.

That is a pretty good deal. The Larue T2 combo package is $750. So you add the mount your getting the mags and 22 ammo for free basically. I would pull the trigger on it.

Larue has a deal on the T1 combo right now. $695 and you get a $60 Larue gift card.

What is the biggest size clip you can get for these AR15's. I been wantin one of 'em. I saw one at the store here I think it was a DMPS or something. Gonna go back when I save up and grab it.

I have another question too. Me and my friend is arguing over what AR15 means. He said the AR don't mean nothin and i told him it means automatic rifle.

I've never seen stripper clips larger than 10 rounds. Takes 3 of them to load a 30 round magazine.

The term "AR-15" signifies "Armalite rifle, design 15".

The T-2 ends up being $60 more expensive. I've seen several reviews that support the upgrades being worth more than that. So if you can afford a T-1, get the T-2. Is that right?

Ask your mom. I told her what it means after I had my way with her.

I mean is it worth it to you to get an Aimpoint for $580-90? That's what's it' boils down to, minus the ammo.

I don't know. I haven't used the variety of optics on the market to know better.
That's why I came here and are asking you good people.

I don't mind paying that much if it's worth it.
I guess I'm deal checking to make sure that I'm not overpaying or to see if there is some usual sale that happens that I should wait for.

I have to get some kind of sight on it, and I think I'd prefer a red dot over a scope.
I didn't like the hologram/eotech. Everything I read and see on Youtube says Aimpoint. Am I missing something?

There is no better optic to top a weapon off with IMHO.

Hopefully someone can quickly answer this, but it seems like a pretty good deal.

I'm the opposite. I want a scope on every single weapon. But I understand that if I NEED my rifle, then there is a 99% chance it will be under 25 yards. And a red dot is the best optic for that purpose, so for that reason my primary has a T1.

Nope. Nothing beats Aimpoint.

Looking at a Vortex SPARC AR.

+Vortex
+Uses AAA batteries
+12 hour auto shutoff.
-300 hours max brightness and 5000 minimum brightness battery life.
+/- Come with integrated rubber housing/dust caps
+/- Rear facing controls. I don't run nor plan to run a magnifier so I think it's a positive but could be a negative.


Seems like a pretty nice design at the under $200 price point. Anyone use one? Just looking at different sub $200 options for a new build. Right now it's between this and the Primary Arms micro dot but I'm open to suggestions.
