    I have an ACT in one of my lowers. It is basically a coated mil spec single stage trigger. They are an upgrade from a mil spec, a good trigger for the money, but not a match trigger.

    The gun I have it in started as a general purpose 16 but is now more of a recce with a 1-4 scope. I will swap it for a ssa-e or similar at some point.

    So I was looking at some Ballistic Calculators and the drop on the 123gr ELD Match vs the 62gr M855 and it's a close comparison on drop so maybe it'll be pretty close when using the new scope

    Anybody have a Vortex Crossfire II 1-4 scope? I am thinking about buying one tonight but I'm not sure. I'll need rings too, not sure what to get.

    okay, so I am finally caught up. somehow missed an alert, next thing you know I am 2 months behind.

    So I just got my new upper...........................

    https://www.classicfirearms.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=UA300CM41617-P-15-MLOK


    Need to clean it as it has been test fired.................and get it get ready for break in...................

    got 500 rounds of ammo on Wednesday..................................

    500 Round Case - 300 AAC Blackout 150 Grain FMJ Fiocchi Ammo - 300BLKC
    (tossed in 2 boxes of 32-WCF ammo cause of shipping)

    Then I found these thanks to this site.......................

    Magpul Gen 2 MBUS Front & Rear Back-Up Sights Set
    KIT-0279 $93.00
    Ordered: 1
    Shipped: 1 $93.00
    6043 Magpul MBUS Back-Up Sight GEN 2 - Rear - Black MAG248-BLK

    1 x Magpul MBUS Back-Up Sight GEN 2 - Rear - Black MAG248-BLK $0.00
    6043
    6027 Magpul MBUS Back-Up Sight GEN 2 - Front - Black MAG247-BLK

    1 x Magpul MBUS Back-Up Sight GEN 2 - Front - Black MAG247-BLK $0.00
    6027

    I DID NOT PAY 93.00 plus shipping. BF deal 49.99 shipped...............still waiting...........

    and then on the afternoon of BF, I put this in jail...........

    https://www.turners.com/ruger/ruger-ar-556-elite-complete-lo-471435 on sale for 219.86 plus tax and dros.

    So I am in just over 620.00.

    I am thinking about an decent (read not expensive, not cheap junk) scope. 125 to 150.

    lower has a two stage trigger 4.5 lb so I may just leave that.

    This rifle, like my S&W sport II is just for plinking steel at 140 to 500 yds.

    Next build might be a custom rifle..........................................cause

    I just remember you saying you had a Vortex optic. That's my hold up right now. I've changed my mind so many times on optics. Just have so many options for what I want to use my gun for I can't decide. Right now I'm thinking of a different setup than most. 3x-9x X 40mm scope with an offset red dot as a backup/short range sight. A buddy is giving me the scope for free since he just bought a new Leupold and doesn't need it anymore so I can save a little money.

    I have the NC Star scope combo n my AR. Like it, simple and easy to use both for different yardages.

    https://www.turners.com/ncstar/ncstar-ultimate-sighting-syste-264014


    Which one is he giving you?

    Think I might just swap that to my new AR and test it while I decide what to do. Don't want to spend a ton on optics for a 600 rifle.
