    I might be naive but that 510 video @Sacrifice posted was pretty damn impressive for a $300 optic. Customer service seems to be also.

    Mine will be here Saturday. Thanks for the link.

    Personally, not a fan of Radical. If you can find an Aero Precision in stock, I think it's a better option. Aero makes some good stuff for reasonable prices. Also, as a first AR, you'll probably start modifying it. It's just natural :D. So why not build your own?

    For not much more, a Smith and Wesson or Ruger would be a better choice

    But any AR is better than no AR

    1st gen Haley Strategic D3CRX. They are discontinued and replaced by an updated model. got lucky and found it on a mannequin in my LGS.. and got a smoking deal on it. I wanted something for all my mags, bino's, gear, etc while walking the desert varmint hunting. I'm able to run my Osprey bladder for water as well. no more water bottle shoved in my back pocket and mags in the other BS. lol

    I currently have a 5.11 backpack with molle all over it. It's nice and all but I'm looking for something that doesn't scream "wannabe operator". I'm way too skinny to be an operator :rofl:. Would prefer more stealth, blend in with the crowd look. Any suggestions for a reasonably priced backpack?

    Yes I guess I should define that. I'm cheap and I rarely use a backpack so like $50ish?

    For a daily carry backpack for work I use one that Maxpedition makes. Looks like a classic Jansport bag but quality built like Maxpedition does. My only complaint is that I need a sternum strap, easily fixed.

    I went to my local surplus store for my backpack. It's a generic version of a 5.11, Condor, etc. Very well built. Lots of storage. Been using it daily as my edc bag for over a year now. Use it for my clothes/gear bag for camping too. Has a bladder pocket as well. Was ~50 bucks.
