Did you get all the money you need.  I could toss in a little bit, sounds like its worth giving up a few boozin' nights.

the rifle is bought and  paid for, not a problem

right now we have about $400 left over.  we can either outfit it with an optic (aimpoint in this price range) or we can buy ammo and mags for it.  optimally i'd like to do both, perhaps even upgrade the optic to an ACOG

so the short answer is yes we have all the money we need but it would certainly be nice to outfit it for him too........................

he has the bushmaster 30 rounder that came with the rifle and two other 30s that a member donated to him.  no ammunition but after i get in the final bill on his optic i imagine there will still be about $200 left for other accessories or whatever he would like...............
