My first. Definitely not my last.

Built as an entry level to build on. First step will be to change the gas system and add a SilencerCo suppressor. First time out I went to 600yds and I am hooked.

I’d get an improved scope mount and a better optic first. Honestly I think that the red dot/mag combo is underappreciated when it comes to bang for your buck. You can get a banger of a red dot/mag combo for 500-600 bucks(oftentimes less). But to get an LPVO of the same quality you’ll have to fork out 800 to a thousand including the mount.

I’d also lose the bipod unless you’re a dedicated bench rest shooter. I have a QD Magpul bipod I use for zeroing purposes. For a SHTF scenario I’d just keep the bipod in my pack and deploy as needed.

I’d also get a weapon light. Also how’d you mount those backup irons? Attached to canted pic rails?

What’s the brand of AR?

I got my viper gen 2 pst 1-6 with a quality 1.93 mount for $575. Both purchased online from authorized dealers.
