Hey Guys,
I am going into my third year of coyote hunting. In that time I have gone from a shotguns, to a bolt 223, and now I am finally where all you guys appear to have been for a while... I am going to the dark side.
I dont know a whole lot about ARs, nor do I have a huge stack of money to lay down. So it looks like it will be something off the shelf with some possible upgrades for next year. I was just wondering if you all had any advice, any "must have's", or thing to watch out for an entry level AR shopper. My needs are pretty simple. I hunt out east and cant imagine ever shooting beyond 150yds, most of my shots have been within 50yds. Doubles and triples are pretty common. So basically, quick target aquisition for follow up shots is more important than high powered optics. I was actually thinking about mounting a zero power red dot that used to sit on my turkey gun to save a few bucks.
I started calling around yesterday and found several flat top MPs for +/-$850. I plan on making a purchaseby next Saturday. So guys, any advice?
Thanks
